Scanner Price Accuracy Code

The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practice managed by the Retail Council of Canada and endorsed by the Competition Bureau.[1] It was introduced in June 2002[2]: 2  as Canadian retailers were in the midst of updating their point-of-sale systems with barcode readers[1] to "foster consumer confidence" with the new systems.[3] It provides consumers with compensation for items with an incorrectly scanned price.[3]

It was developed by the Retail Council of Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores (now Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada), the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers and the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors.[2]: 2
