This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 11 November 2019 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

Introduction
The European Commission estimates that “The mass adoption of e-invoicing within the EU would lead
to significant economic benefits and it is estimated that moving from paper to e-invoices will generate
. Based on this recognition “The Commission
savings of around EUR 240 billion over a six-year period”
wants to see e-invoicing become the predominant method of invoicing by 2020 in Europe.”
As a means to achieve this goal, Directive 2014/55/EU [3] on electronic invoicing in public
procurement aims at facilitating the use of electronic invoices by economic operators when supplying
goods, works and services to the public administration (B2G), as well as the support for trading
between economic operators themselves (B2B). In particular, it sets out the legal framework for the
establishment and adoption of a European standard (EN) for the semantic data model of the core
elements of an electronic invoice (EN 16931-1).
In line with Directive 2014/55/EU [3], and after publication of the reference to EN 16931-1 in the
Oficial Journal of the European Union, all contracting public authorities and contracting entities in the
EU will be obliged to receive and process an e-invoice as long as:
— it is in conformance with the semantic content as described in EN 16931-1;
— it is represented in any of the syntaxes identif
