DAAST-1.0-inline-impression
DAAST-1.0-inline-impression
DAAST `<InLine>` must contain at least one `<Impression>`
ErrorDAASTIAB DAAST 1.0 §3.1.4.1DAAST 1.0 and 1.1 (all DAAST documents)
Short answer
At least one <Impression> beacon is required in every DAAST <InLine>. Without it, the impression cannot be measured and the ad violates standard ad-ops contracts.
Why this matters in production
This rule is usually a delivery blocker. Many players, SDKs, and ad servers will discard the response or skip the affected creative once this condition is hit. DAAST rules validate the structural and semantic requirements specific to digital audio ad serving. Audio-specific fields like Category, AdInteractions, and audio MediaFile attributes are required by the spec and are absent from standard VAST validation. Affected scope: DAAST 1.0 and 1.1 (all DAAST documents).
