In month of June 2020, USFDA updated header of Structured Product Labeling (SPL) XML:
- Updated xml-stylesheet reference
- Updated the schemaLocation of the urn:hl7-org:v3 namespace
Error during the Pragmatic SPL Data Validation with old header:
- There must be an xml-stylesheet reference to “https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/spl/stylesheet/spl.xsl“.
- The schemaLocation of the urn:hl7-org:v3 namespace must be provided as “https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/spl/schema/spl.xsd“.
