What does BR-CL-11 mean? Any registration identifier identification scheme identifier MUST be coded using one of the ISO 6523 ICD list.

Why did my invoice fail BR-CL-11?

Any scheme identifier attached to a legal registration identifier must come from the ISO 6523 ICD list. This qualifies which registry issued the seller's or buyer's legal registration number. In UBL it is the schemeID attribute on cac:PartyLegalEntity/cbc:CompanyID.
