Cold Cranking Amps/DIN (CCA)
This is a title of a very short data sheet which continues:
"This is the current drawn from the battery for 30 seconds at -18ºC before the battery voltage drops below 9 volts."
Very grateful for any help, I am struggling

No, sorry Stephen, but it's: Kaltstartleistung (DIN)

because that's the German way of saying it.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is the US way

It should then list a number of Amps, such as 550 Amps;
that would then be 550 A in German

In Ampere gibt man die Stromstärke und nicht die Leistung an
