Local evidence Format and character rules + Checksum/control replay

Browser-checkable work only

Boundary No live source proof

Official state remains external

Why this exists

Know what can be trusted before wiring the value into production.

EU VAT number checks pages in ValidoHub are tool-first. This reference layer explains the checks, fixtures, developer handoff, and source-system limits so teams can integrate the live workbench output deliberately.

Use for Implementation planning

Choose normalization, storage, masking, and fixture strategy.

Use for QA and CI fixtures

Keep pass, review, malformed, and edge examples beside the code.

Use for Developer handoff

Copy the live tool JSON instead of reverse-engineering display text.

Browser checks

Local evidence the workbench can expose.

Check Format and character rules

Use the workbench for current evidence.

Check Checksum/control replay

Use the workbench for current evidence.

Check Official-system boundary

Use the workbench for current evidence.

Official boundary

Where local validation must stop.

Boundary Official existence or legal status still belongs to the authority or source system.

Boundary No live network, registry, bank, payment, or tax-office lookup is performed.

Integration traps

Small mistakes that create expensive debugging later.

Trap Do not treat a valid checksum as proof that the value exists in an official registry.

Trap Version local rules and registry tables so adapters do not silently drift.

Trap Use stable machine fields and error codes; do not parse translated UI strings downstream.
