What is Norway's EHF e-invoicing standard?
Effective: 2012-07-01 · Authority: Digdir (Digitaliseringsdirektoratet)
EHF (Elektronisk Handelsformat) is Norway's UBL-based e-invoice format for public sector invoicing, developed by Direktoratet for forvaltning og ikt (Difi, now Digdir). EHF has been mandatory for Norwegian government suppliers since 2012 and is transmitted via the Peppol network. Norway was a pioneer in Peppol adoption.
How do Norwegian suppliers submit EHF invoices?
Norwegian public sector e-invoices are transmitted via the Peppol network. Businesses use a Peppol Access Point to send EHF invoices addressed to government entities registered in the Peppol SMP. The ELMA registry (maintained by Digdir) maps Norwegian organization numbers to their Peppol endpoints.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What identifier is used for Norwegian Peppol participants?
- Norwegian businesses use their Organisasjonsnummer (9-digit organization number) as their Peppol identifier, prefixed with the scheme code 0192 (assigned by Digdir as the Norwegian Peppol Authority).
- Is e-invoicing mandatory for Norwegian private sector B2B?
- Norway has not mandated B2B e-invoicing. The EHF mandate applies to public procurement only. However, Norway has high B2B e-invoice adoption through Peppol and banking network integration due to strong public sector demand.
