eInvoicing validation artefacts updated

The European Commission announces the release of the EN 16931 validation artefacts v1.3.10. This is the first update in 2023 of the validation artefacts as part of the services provided by the DIGITAL eInvoicing Building Block. The European standard on eInvoicing defines the rules that allow stakeholders using the EN 16931 standard to ensure invoice compliance with the standard. These rules are expressed in validation artefacts, which make it possible to validate automatically whether an invoice complies with those rules.

Release 1.3.10 of the EN 16931 validation artefacts implements the updated code lists published in March 2023, as well as corrects validation rules, and fixes typos. You can access the full release notes of the validation artefacts here.

The next update of code lists and validation artefacts is foreseen for Autumn 2023 as per its regular scheduled release.
