EN 16931 is the European standard for electronic invoicing, mandated by EU Directive 2014/55/EU. It defines a semantic data model and 150+ business rules that ensure invoices can be processed automatically across all EU member states.

Full 150+ business rules check. Validates semantic compliance regardless of syntax (UBL or CII). Essential for ViDA readiness.
Network validators check EN 16931 as part of format validation. But standalone EN 16931 check not always available.
ERP systems focus on syntax generation, not semantic validation. EN 16931 business rule violations often missed.
