PEPPOL-EN16931-CL008
Electronic address identifier scheme must be from the codelist "Electronic Address Identifier Scheme"
What does this rule mean?
The electronic address scheme is not from the CEF EAS list.
Peppol narrows the EN 16931 code lists further so every receiver on the network can resolve the value without a prior agreement.
Official rule message (standard)

UBL
cbc:EndpointID[@schemeID]
CII
ram:BuyerTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID | ram:SellerTradeParty/ram:URIUniversalCommunication/ram:URIID
