After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.

Each printout is built up by chaining various data blocks, possibly identified with a block identifier.
A data block contains one or more records, possibly identified with a record identifier.
When a block identifier immediately precedes a record identifier, the record identifier is not printed.
In the case where a data item is unknown, or must not be printed for data access rights reasons, spaces are printed instead.
If the content of a complete line is unknown, or need not to be printed, then the complete line is omitted.
Numerical data fields are printed right aligned, with a space separator for thousands and millions, and without leading zeros.
String data fields are printed left aligned and filled up with spaces to data item length, or truncated to data item length when needed (names and addresses).
In case of a line-break due to a long text a special character (dot at middle line-height, ‘•’) should be printed as first character in the new line.
In this chapter the following format notation conventions have been used:
Characters printed in bold denote plain text to be printed (printing remains in normal characters),
Normal characters denote variables (pictograms or data) to be replaced by their values for printing,
Variable names have been padded with underscores to show the data item length available for the variable,
Dates are specified with a ‘dd/mm/yyyy’ (day, month, year) format. A ‘dd.mm.yyyy’ format may also be used,
The term ‘card identification’ denotes the composition of: the type of card through a card pictograms combination, the card issuing Member State code, a forward slash character and the card number with the replacement index and the renewal index separated with a space:
