How this format is validated

The CII XML is validated with the CEN EN16931 CII Schematron (1.3.15) via the KoSIT Validator; the XRECHNUNG profile additionally runs the XRechnung 3.0.2 Schematron. FeRD's ZUGFeRD-profile-specific Schematron is not redistributable here, so profile-only rules (e.g. EXTENDED-specific constraints) are not checked and the result reports reduced coverage. PDF/A-3 conformance itself is not verified.

Reduced rule coverage

Validation for this format runs a documented subset of the rules that exist for it. The coverage note is repeated on every validation response so a pass is never over-interpreted.
