Severity note: fatal, from the Flag column of the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 UBL rules index retrieved 2026-10-18.
An origin country code must use ISO code list 3166-1. The statement says MUST and has no period. It is the same sentence as BR-CL-14, and it writes 3166-1 with a hyphen. The context is cac:OriginCountry/cbc:IdentificationCode. The test is the same string as BR-CL-14. It reads the element text and does not call exists.
Put an ISO 3166-1 country code with no space on the origin country identification code.
Illustration of the condition in the official statement. Not an example published by the source.
Fails the stated condition. The origin country code contains a space, or it is not in the ISO 3166-1 list.
Passes the stated condition. The origin country code is DE, with no space.
