AFIR data provision requirements in Belgium
National Access Point for data reporting
To comply with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) data provision requirement in Belgium, Charge Point Operators (CPOs) with charge points requiring payment for the charging service must ensure their charging stations data is correctly reported via the National Access Point Transportdata.be.
To do so, Transportdata.be requests CPOs or Service Providers like Monta to offer an open API so that the required data can be retrieved at no cost.
Data types to be reported
Transportdata.be stictly requires AFIR data requirements, which can be found in Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, Article 20 – Data provision.
Monta is committed to sharing all required dynamic and static data currently available from our operators. This process ensures alignment with AFIR regulation.
Moving forward, Monta will collect any missing data from operators through the Monta Hub. This data will then be available to Transportdata.be to ensure compliance with the latest requirements.
How this works
IMPORTANT!
- We recommend you to avoid reporting data or creating a new organization yourself. You should simply give Monta full control over your data to streamline data reporting.
- Monta can only share data with the NAPs for charge points that have the Roaming option enabled.
- Make sure to complete all data required by AFIR on your charge points in Monta Hub
Instructions for CPOs
