What this checks — and what it doesn't
This checks a specific, listed subset of the official Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 and EN 16931 business rules: required fields (invoice ID, dates, type code, currency, seller/buyer, buyer reference, buyer electronic address), and the core amount-consistency rules (BR-CO-10, BR-CO-13, BR-CO-15, BR-CO-16) plus standard-rate VAT calculation. It does not implement the full official rule set (roughly 180 rules in total) and is not a substitute for the free official Peppol validator at docs.peppol.eu — treat a pass here as a strong pre-check, not a certification.
Why Peppol BIS Billing 3.0
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 is the e-invoicing standard used across most EU Peppol networks, with a stable, openly published rule set and rule IDs — which is what makes citing exact rules and keeping this tool honestly scoped actually possible.
Common use cases
- Catch a Peppol e-invoice rejection before submitting it
- Check invoice totals reconcile before sending
- Verify a buyer reference and electronic address are present
Frequently asked questions
Is my invoice uploaded?
No. Validation runs entirely in your browser.
Does a pass here guarantee my invoice will be accepted?
No. This checks a documented subset of the official rules, not full conformance. Use the official Peppol validator at docs.peppol.eu for certification-level checking.
Which rules are checked?
Each result shows its official rule ID (e.g. BR-CO-13, PEPPOL-EN16931-R003) so you can look up the exact requirement.
Does this support formats other than Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL?
Not currently. Other national formats (such as FatturaPA or XRechnung) are not supported.
What's the most common rule this catches?
A missing buyer reference or buyer electronic address (PEPPOL-EN16931-R003 / R010) and totals that don't reconcile (BR-CO-13/BR-CO-15) are documented as the most common real-world rejection causes.
