The INSBOU exchange format is an XML-oriented message administered by the CCB&I (the commission for communication standards for the constructions and installations sectors). With this exchange format, you can communicate such matters as product and trade data and condition messages between a number of affiliated software packages. You should decode the XML messages according to UTF-8 (=Unicode).
XML files that are delivered should comply with the accompanying XSD diagram in terms of layout and content and be fully valid. Participants of Ketenstandaard Bouw en Techniek can use the Ketenstandaard XML validation tool (log in required) to check whether the INSBOU message meets the DICO Standaard.
We would like to point out that there is now a follow-up to the INSBOU004 messages standard. So we recommend that you deliver your datasets via the newest exchange formats.
