No, there isn't (at least, what you are reporting isn't one).

Your server says it is using iso-8859-1.

Validator.nu warns you that it is ignoring that and treating it as 
windows-1252 (which is a superset of iso-8859-1 often mislabelled as 
iso-8859-1 so treating iso-8859-1 as windows-1252 does no harm).

Next, Validator.nu tells you that you are not using UTF-8. (And it 
doesn't matter if you are using iso-8859-1 or windows-1252 because 
neither of them is UTF-8).

The [specification][1] says:
