In summary, it should demon
34、strate that EN 16931-1 and its related specifications, particularly the syntax bindings, is fit for purpose. The report has three main sections, one for the semantic testing where an overview of the methodology, the testing and the results are described (Clause 4). The second section (Clauses 5 to 8
35、) is the syntax testing, and this is split in different subchapters to test all the steps needed to create and send an invoice instance. The final section (Clauses 9 to 10) describes the tests performed to ensure the EN is suitable for automatic processing. This section has two sub chapters, one for
36、 payments and one for automatic processing in general. 0.2 Requirements for testing derived from European legislation Article 3 of Directive 2014/55/EU 1 states that: “The Commission shall request that the relevant European standardisation organisation draft a European standard for the semantic data
37、 model of the core elements of an electronic invoice (the European standard on electronic invoicing). The Commission shall require that the European standard on electronic invoicing complies at least with the following criteria: it is technologically neutral, it is compatible with relevant internati
38、onal standards on electronic invoicing, it has regard to the need for personal data protection in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC 3, to a data protection by design approach and to the principles of proportionality, data minimization and purpose limitation, it is consistent with the relevant provi
39、sions of Directive 2006/112/EC 2, it allows for the establishment of practical, user-friendly, flexible and cost-efficient electronic invoicing systems, it considers the special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as of sub-central contracting authorities and contracting entities, it
40、 is suitable for use in commercial transactions between enterprises.” Further on in article 3 the Directive 1 explicitly describes the task of testing: “the standard shall be tested as to its practical application for an end user. during the performance of the test, special account be taken of the r
41、espect for the criteria of practicality, user-friendliness and possible implementation costs” Testing is also described in note 28 of Directive 2014/55/EU 1: “Prior to the introduction of the European standard on electronic invoicing in the Member States, the practical application of the standard sh
42、ould be sufficiently tested. This assessment should be done during the drawing up of the standard. That assessment should involve end users, and should address aspects of practicality and user-friendliness, and should demonstrate that the standard can be implemented in a cost efficient and proportio
43、nate manner.” PD CEN/TR 169316:2017CEN/TR 16931-6:2017 (E) 7 1 Scope 1.1 Introduction Directive 2014/55/EU states the following: “the standard shall be tested as to its practical application for an end user. The Commission shall retain overall responsibility for the testing and shall ensure that, du
44、ring the performance of the test, special account be taken of the respect for the criteria of practicality, user-friendliness and possible implementation costs in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 1. “ 1.2 In scope This CEN Technical Report describes the methodology used for testi
45、ng at a semantic level and at the syntax level, as well as describing the semantic testing, the syntax testing and testing of the validation artefacts that represent EN 16931-1 and the test results. The testing of the validation artefacts will ensure they can be used to automatically check conforman
46、ce with EN 16931-1. 1.3 Out of scope During meetings with the European Commission they agreed to supplement the testing activities as the need arises. This included the provision of a hosted GITB (Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Beds) environment for syntax testing and to run separate studies
47、 such as assessment of implementation costs. The results of these studies will be published separately by CEF. It was agreed at earlier meetings that piloting was out of scope i.e. perform live transactions, because resources were unavailable to undertake this in the time allowed. Instead we could s
48、imulate scenarios by leveraging on the experience of our experts. Working Group 3 (hereafter WG3) in CEN/TC 434 has produced the syntax bindings and validation artefacts, and the task of quality assurance of these deliverables has been the responsibility of WG3. VAT issues are complex and require ju
49、ridical or legal expertise. VAT is also sometimes very sectoral or even country specific. Certain sections, in the VAT Directive, apply to all trades, others deal with special cases. The model should facilitate, but cannot be seen as an enforcement model. Therefore, VAT compliance would have to be checked on a case by case basis, and is deemed out of scope. The Commission had taken this up and given the draft to their VAT experts. The result was that no issues were discovered. Article 226(B) of the VAT Direct
