What does PEPPOL-EN16931-CL008 mean? Electronic address identifier scheme must be from the codelist "Electronic Address Identifier Scheme"

Why did my invoice fail PEPPOL-EN16931-CL008?

The schemeID on an electronic address (cbc:EndpointID of the seller or buyer) must be a value from the Peppol "Electronic Address Identifier Scheme" code list (EAS), e.g. 0088 for GLN or 9908 for a Norwegian organisation number. The scheme tells the network how to interpret and route on the endpoint identifier.
