CEN/TC 434
CEN/TC 434 (CEN Technical Committee 434) is a technical body within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) developing standards in the field of Electronic Invoicing.[1][2]
Overview
[edit]CEN/TC 434 has developed the European Standard on Electronic Invoicing (EN 16931–1) and other ancillary standardization deliverables[3] required by the European Directive 2014/55/EU.[4]
Directive 2014/55/EU also required:
- the test of the standard as to its practical application for an end user,
- a report on the outcome of the test to the European Parliament and the Council[5] by the European Commission and, after the publication and the test of the standard,
- the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of a reference to the European Standard together with the list of a limited number of syntaxes[6] (that CEN published as TS 16931-2).
Workgroups
[edit]CEN/TC 434 has the following working groups (WGs):
- CEN/TC 434/WG 1 Core semantic data model
- CEN/TC 434/WG 3 Syntax bindings
- CEN/TC 434/WG 4 Guidelines at transmission level
- CEN/TC 434/WG 5 Extension methodology
- CEN/TC 434/WG 6 Test methodology and test results
- CEN/TC 434/WG 7 Registry Services
CEN/TC 434/WG 2 (List of syntaxes) was disbanded.
