Once Standards Bibliographic Reference Processing and Inline Standards Citation Matching have applied tags and character styles to standard references and inline citations, the Standards Validation feature can validate those citations against a web-based service (e.g., ISO standards against an ISO web service, EN standards against a CEN web service for CEN members).

The response from the query server is used to update or provide information about the state of the standard being cited.
The validation module will attach Word comments to standard references and citations based on a defined set of response codes returned by the citation query server.
Regardless of the server response code, eXtyles automatically reformats standard citations
Example: updating the two hyphens in “ISO 12100:--” to the em-dash in ISO 12100:—.
Queries
The following is a list of the comment text added by extyles, the response codes, and an explanation of what eXtyles does during validation.
Comment Text | Response Code | eXtyles Behavior |
---|---|---|
[No comment] | (MATCH) | The citation is matched to a single standard by the query server; no comment is added. |
OK with auto corrections | (MATCH_WITH_CORRECTIONS) | The citation is matched to a single record by the query server, but it is not an exact match. The citation in the manuscript is updated automatically using the data returned by the server. |
The reference is to a withdrawn standard which has been replaced | (MATCH_NEWER_EDITIONS) | The citation is matched to a single record by the query server, but the corresponding standard has been withdrawn and replaced by a newer standard. No change is made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
The reference is to a withdrawn standard | (MATCH_WITHDR) | The citation is matched to a single record by the query server, but the corresponding standard has been withdrawn. No change is made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Not publicly available, {0} | (MATCH_NOT_PUBLIC), where the placeholder “{0}” stands for the current stage of the standard as returned by the query server. | The citation is matched to a single record by the query server, but the corresponding standard is not currently available. No change is made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Not found, but similar references exist | (NO_MATCH_WITH_PROPOSALS) | The citation is not matched to a single record by the query server, but the server returns several proposed matches, which are listed in the comment. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Project canceled | (NO_MATCH_PROJECT_CANCELED) | The citation is matched to a single record by the query server, but the corresponding standard has been canceled. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Not found | (NO_MATCH) | The citation is not matched to an existing standard by the query server. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Invalid reference | (ERROR_INVALID_BIBL) | The citation is not considered to be a standard citation by the query server. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
The originator of the reference is unknown and cannot be validated | (ERROR_UNKNOWN_PUBLISHER) | The citation cites a standard to a publishing body not supported by the query server, such as “EN” or “IEC”. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |
Validation service returned error: {0} | (ERROR_SERVICE), where the placeholder “{0}” stands for the error message returned by the server. | The query service encountered an unhandled error attempting to match the citation occurring in the manuscript. No changes are made to the text of the citation in the manuscript. |

Note that regardless of the type of comment and response code, eXtyles may adjust the formatting and punctuation of a citation in addition to the behavior determined by the query response. |
