You would need an actual timepoint (anchor) to express an interval with uncertainty. In other words, you would need a YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss in either side of the forward slash separator.
Also, TEDUR is expected to only be used when an element has a fixed duration; therefore, a permissible variable in TE. For example, if you wanted to describe a resting element that lasts up to 3 weeks, then I'd leave TEDUR blank (as long as TEENRL is populated).

Hello Anthony. This is helpful information. We'll review internally to see if it is better to remove that value for TEDUR or to keep it and have the error kick out.
Thanks!
I am checkin the TE dataset using the latest validator with 3.1.1 format. The report kicks out these TEDUR values P1W/P3W and P1D/P14D as errors. However, when I check the manual these ways to designate uncertainty were not supported as correct ISO 8601 duration values. Can someone check this?
Thanks!
