BR-CL-23: Unit of measure is not in the code list
A rule from EN 16931. What the message means and how to fix it.
What the message means
The unit of measure (BT-130) has to be a code from UN/ECE Recommendation 20 or 21, not an abbreviation like “pcs”, “Stk” or “h”.
How to fix it
Common codes: H87 or C62 = piece, HUR = hour, DAY = day, MON = month, KGM = kilogram, MTR = metre, LS = lump sum.
