1 Operators of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points for alternative fuels, or, in accordance with the arrangements between them, the owners of those points, shall ensure the availability of the data types referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 in accordance with: (a) the specifications for the format of data types for publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points, including the descriptions, provided in the tables in the Annex to this Regulation; (b) the relevant data model for alternative fuels data provided in DATEX II format, including at least CEN/TS 16157-10:2022 in addition to the specifications referred to in point (a), from 14 April 2026.

2 Data types referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 shall be made available in accordance with the specifications for the format set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Operators of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points for alternative fuels, or, in accordance with the arrangements between them, the owners of those points, shall ensure the availability of the data types referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 in accordance with the following requirements: (a) static data shall be updated when a change occurs and, in any event, no later than twenty-four hours after the change occurred; (b) dynamic data shall be updated when a change occurs and, in any event, no later than one minute after the change occurred.

1 When ensuring the availability of the data referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, operators of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points for alternative fuels, or, in accordance with the arrangements between them, the owners of those points, shall comply with the following requirements: (a) Completeness: All data types referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 shall be made available. In addition to this, additional data types may be made available on a voluntary basis by operators or owners of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points for alternative fuels when they consider that such additional data may bring added value to the development of information services to end users of alternative fuels infrastructure. (b) Correctness: The data types shall correctly reflect the descriptions set out in the Annex. (c) Consistency: The data types shall be made available in accordance with Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 and the specifications related to the data format set out in Article 1 of this Regulation. Potential duplicate or overlapping data shall be removed. (d) Timeliness: The data types shall be updated in accordance with the specifications related to the frequency set out in Article 2 of this Regulation. The necessary technical measures shall be put in place to ensure that time-sensitive data types, such as the availability of recharging or refuelling points, are updated in accordance with these specifications. (e) Reliability: The data types shall be regularly monitored to identify potential inconsistencies and errors in the data.

2 Operators of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points for alternative fuels, or, in accordance with the arrangements between them, the owners of those points, shall establish data quality control mechanisms which ensure that the data at source complies with the requirements set out in paragraph 1, before it is made accessible through the NAPs.

3 Any entity may set up an API providing access to the data referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 to data users on behalf of operators or owners of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points and may submit information on such API to the NAPs, in accordance with applicable agreements between the entity and the operator or owner. Such outsourcing agreements shall not relieve the operators or owners of their obligation under this Article to ensure the quality of the original data provided.

For the purpose of making the data referred to in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 accessible in compliance with Article 20(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, Member States shall put in place the following procedures to: (a) regularly monitor the data types, including information on the APIs, made accessible through their NAPs by operators of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points, or, in accordance with the arrangements between them, the owners of those points. This monitoring shall ensure that the data made accessible through their NAPs is in compliance with the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 and in this Regulation; (b) facilitate the exchange of information between operators or owners of publicly accessible recharging points and refuelling points and their NAPs; (c) address widespread and persistent data quality issues, including issues affecting the overall automated and uniform data exchange via APIs through their NAPs.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 14 April 2025.
