Peppol Interoperability Framework

OpenPEPPOL's overarching governance framework for the Peppol network.

Definition

The Peppol Interoperability Framework groups the Peppol Agreements (Peppol Authority Agreement and Service Provider Agreement), the Internal Regulations (Part II — Use of the Peppol Network), the Peppol Authority Specific Requirements, the Operational Procedures (onboarding, change management, compliance, reporting) and the technical Supporting Documents, under the OpenPEPPOL AISBL statutes. It is the legal and operational framework that makes the network interoperable end-to-end.

Origin

Published by OpenPEPPOL AISBL; the new Peppol Interoperability Framework is complete and applies since 1 July 2022.

Example in context

To join the network, an operator applies the Peppol Interoperability Framework: it signs the Service Provider Agreement and complies with the Internal Regulations, local PASR and Operational Procedures.
