With the new version 1.5.3 of the regulation, the Danish authorities have fixed some problems with the validation of time zones and the signature.
Unfortunately, not all problems have been fixed and the validation software is also faulty. Extensive tests, which we have carried out with the latest officially provided validation script, have revealed this.
We are already in close contact with the authorities. We have not yet received a written response to our inquiry and the information about the errors.
Wir haben auch eine schriftliche Bestätigung angefordert, dass die Umsetzung und auch die exportierten SAF-T Dateien, die wir gemacht haben bis zur Regulierung von März 2025, korrekt waren, da wir gegen keine Regelung der Dokumentation verstoßen haben.
In principle, the problems are as follows:
| Time in Xml | Time in signature | True/False | Vaildation DK |
| 2025-04-04+02:00 17:32:15+02:00 | 2025-04-04 17:32:15 | Correct | Correct |
| 2025-04-04+07:00 17:32:15+02:00 | 2025-04-04 17:32:15 | Partially incorrect | Correct |
| 2025-04-04+07:00 17:32:15+07:00 | 2025-04-04 17:32:15 | Wrong | Correct |
| 2025-04-04+00:00 15:32:15+00:00 | 2025-04-04 17:32:15 | Correct | Wrong |
| 2025-04-04+00:00 19:32:15+02:00 | 2025-04-04 17:32:15 | Wrong | Wrong |
Correct times are recognized as incorrect during validation and incorrect times as correct. This is the result of our test with the new validation script.
The reason is very simple: The validation script simply cuts out the time zones in this case, but this is wrong.
We will now adapt the export to the new conditions with the next release. If there are any problems with the check in Denmark due to incorrect signatures, please contact us. We will clarify the issue with the authorities.
