What does BR-CL-10 mean? Any identifier identification scheme identifier MUST be coded using one of the ISO 6523 ICD list.

Why did my invoice fail BR-CL-10?

Any scheme identifier attached to a party or object identifier must come from the ISO 6523 ICD list. This makes identifiers such as GLNs or DUNS numbers globally interpretable. In UBL it is the schemeID attribute on elements like cac:PartyIdentification/cbc:ID (e.g. schemeID="0088" for GLN).

Official rule text

Any identifier identification scheme identifier MUST be coded using one of the ISO 6523 ICD list.

Common causes

A textual scheme name ("GLN", "DUNS") used instead of the numeric ICD code
A Peppol EAS code used where an ISO 6523 ICD code is required
A mistyped or non-existent ICD value

How do I fix it?

<cac:PartyIdentification>
  <cbc:ID schemeID="0088">5790000435975</cbc:ID>
</cac:PartyIdentification>
