Is the 15 hour rule in any oficial document?

… or is it just by virtue of reducing the daily rest to 9 hours?

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter Gentleladies and Gentlemen.

It states that at least 9 hours in rest needs to be taken IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD beginning with the end of the last daily/weekly rest.

Daily rest periods
A driver must take a daily rest period within each period of 24 hours after the end of the previous daily
or weekly rest period. An 11-hour (or more) daily rest is called a regular daily rest period.
