Open this file to find the file layout a producer report must follow. One row is the specification a regulator or programme publishes for one report file.
The rows were read from 50 source documents between September 29, 2026 and November 4, 2026. Where a source states an effective date, it falls between December 29, 2022 and August 12, 2026.
42 of the 53 rows are pending. A pending row stays in the file with an empty value and a stated reason, so you can see which figures are not yet published and filter them out before you compute.

The SHA-256 of the CSV is eddc06923e80577648d6718561b6884c8df0ecbf489b358fc711279bd4f0f9e1 and of the JSON 5bc00c688a3361c971c820b69cc60af47f4d2e971aa06f266a5af7b1c9dbac7c; compare them with your copy to confirm you hold this bundle.
From a shell: curl -O https://instica.com/epr/data/report-formats.csv. In a spreadsheet, import the CSV as UTF-8 with a comma separator. In a script, read the CSV with any CSV parser, or the JSON file for native types.
Filter on status before you compute. Rows with status pending have no value by design.
