What it means
For each invoice line (BG-25), the rule checks that ram:DesignatedProductClassification/ram:ApplicableReferencedStandard is absent from the product details in ram:SpecifiedTradeProduct (BG-31).
Why it matters
The EN 16931 CII mapping does not use a referenced-standard block within the item classification. This check concerns that block, not the classification identifier or its code-list details.
How to fix it
Remove ram:ApplicableReferencedStandard from the line's ram:DesignatedProductClassification. Keep the classification code and its code-list details. If you need to identify an applicable standard for the buyer, include it in the item description (BT-154). Export the corrected file and check it again.
