- EN 16931, originally for B2G e-invoicing, is being updated to support large-scale B2B use and EU-wide digital reporting.
- On February 13, 2026, CEN formally approved updates to EN 16931-1, making it ViDA-ready for structured, cross-border e-invoicing by 2030.
- The revision enriches the semantic model, adds B2B-specific data points, and clarifies rules for automated, interoperable compliance.
- Key changes include enhanced support for complex B2B scenarios, new compliance-grade data fields, and reinforced extension methodologies to avoid fragmentation.
- The update increases pressure on multinationals and service providers to adopt interoperable, provider-mediated e-invoicing models.
