This regulation is put in place to ensure that users are invoiced for exactly the amount of kWh that they charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for the charge to be compliant with Eichrecht, the charge point (hardware), needs to be &#8220;Eichrechtkonform&#8221;, to make sure it measures and reports the charging activity correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the software used for the charging (Monta) needs to log all charge sessions correctly, so the user can at all times check themselves, what that have charged and where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note it&#8217;s not a requirement for Monta to log the charging sessions. Some charge points comply with Eichrecht without sending the data to Monta. This means that not all charge points are Eichrecht compliant with Monta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites to check if your charge was Eichrecht compliant:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A charge, performed through Monta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The receipt for the charge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Transparency Software (i.e. <a href=\"https:\/\/safe-ev.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S.A.F.E.<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Perform a charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you perform a charge, you get a receipt with the charge summary. At the bottom right corner of the receipt, there is a field called <strong>&#8220;Charge signed data&#8221;<\/strong>, in the form of a link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/monta.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-696x1024.png\" alt=\"example for a receipt with a downloadable xml file\" class=\"wp-image-6975\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-696x1024.png 696w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-102x150.png 102w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-768x1130.png 768w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-1044x1536.png 1044w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file-1392x2048.png 1392w, https:\/\/monta.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/01\/example-for-a-receipt-with-a-downloadable-xml-file.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Download the data related to the charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can click the link, it will open in your browser. Then, you need to copy the data and save it as a &#8220;.xml&#8221; file, so you can unload it to the transparency software. This file contains the data to verify the start and end meter of the charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Insert the data into a Transparency Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are able to insert the file you downloaded into a Transparency Software. You can download the S.A.F.E.
