Abstract

A system comprising a code reader (3) and a security tag disabling device (5) in combination. The system further comprises a controller (2) which is adapted to interface with code data processing means (1) and which operates to ensure that the security tag disabling device (5) is not enabled to disable a security tag unless a code is read by the code reader (3) which is associated with a security tag and to ensure that data read by the code reader (3) is not output to the code data processing means (1) if the security tag is not disabled by the security tag disabling device (5).
