A Peppol address consists of two parts: the scheme and the identifier, separated by a colon.
Belgian enterprise number (0208)
For the Belgian company number, the prefix 0208 is used, followed by the full company number. The company number always starts with a 0 or a 1.
For example: 0208:0xxxxxxxxx or 0208:1xxxxxxxxx.
GLN — Global Location Number (0088)
Some organizations — especially in retail, logistics, and healthcare — are registered on Peppol under their GLN instead of a national company number. The scheme code for GLN is 0088, followed by the 13-digit GLN.
For example: 0088:5400000000001.
A full list of electronic address schemes is available on the Peppol EAS code list.
