Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	This category encompasses the standard set of data quality rules used in CDQ's default configuration for qualifying EU VAT identifiers. Standard qualification includes checking VAT number format, validating existence through VIES, and verifying that the company name and address match official registration data. This represents the baseline qualification approach suitable for most organizations conducting business within the EU. The standard qualification balances thoroughness with reliability, using the most widely available and stable validation services. It ensures VAT numbers are not only syntactically correct and existent but also properly associated with the correct business entity information. These rules support the Accuracy dimension by providing comprehensive VAT validation using industry-standard approaches.
