BS ISO 21041:2018 pdf free.Guidance on unit pricing
Effective unit pricing is most likely to be achieved by applying several key principles to the design,introduction and operation of unit pricing systems. These principles should be used whenever a relevant product is offered for sale or advertised at a price, which is displayed by written, printed or electronic means, and a suitable measurement is available to indicate the unit price.
The unit price should be provided whenever a relevant product is offered for sale or advertised at a price, which is displayed by written, printed or electronic means, and a suitable measurement is available to indicate the unit price.
The unit price should be provided in a manner to meet the needs of all consumers, including those with special needs or vulnerable groups. For example, shelf labels that are angled or designed for greater ease of reading.
The unit of measure used to indicate the unit price should be appropriate for the product and easy for consumers to use. Whenever possible, only one unit of measure should be used for a product type.
The unit price should be displayed to ensure the greatest possible noticeability and legibility for all potential consumers, including those with special needs or vulnerable groups. This can be achieved by taking into account display characteristics, such as print density, font size, font type, colour and contrast, and white space.
There should be the highest possible level of consistency, within and between retailers and across all retail formats, in the provision and display of unit pricing and in the units of measure used.
Planning and implementing unit pricing should involve an adequate process of promotion, development,monitoring, maintenance and improvement. An organization’s unit pricing system should operate in a manner that aligns with the guidance included in this document.
Information about unit pricing should be communicated to all stakeholders (e.g. consumers, consumer organizations, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, IT vendors, governments) via targeted communication in the stakeholder’s language and with a strong focus on relevant benefits (see Annex A).
Consumer education should meet the needs of both experienced and inexperienced consumers and include what unit pricing is, where it is provided, how to use it and potential benefits. It should be ongoing with periodic reminder programmes.BS ISO 21041 pdf download.
