Documents that get rejected for their shape before anyone reads the amount.

Bookkeeping & audit trail 1

The sequences and references a tax authority expects to be unbroken.

Company identifiers 1

Codes that say which legal entity you are — and what a well-formed wrong one costs.

Payment references 1

The structured codes that let an incoming payment reconcile itself against the right invoice.

Why the rule numbers here are not ours

Business document formats are unusual in that they publish their own numbered rules. Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 has 979 of them — BR-01, UBL-CR-002, PEPPOL-EN16931-R001 — each with a description and a severity.

So where a tool on this page checks one of those, it reports the official identifier, not one we invented. You can take a report from here straight to the specification and look the rule up. Where a rule is our own engineering judgement instead, it says so — and those carry our own prefixes.

What these tools deliberately do not do

They check shape, not substance. Whether a VAT rate is correct, whether an expense is deductible, whether your numbering satisfies your tax authority — those are questions for someone who can see your business, and no format checker can answer them.

Nor is EN 16931, the underlying EU standard, quoted here: it is a paid CEN standard this project does not hold. What is quoted is Peppol's own publicly readable restatement of the same business rules — the same discipline this site applies everywhere, which is to cite only documents a reader can actually open.
