Annex I Part II(1)Article 13Free

SBOM Validator (BSI TR-03183-2 and CISA 2026 Minimum Elements)

Upload or paste a CycloneDX or SPDX JSON SBOM and check it against BSI TR-03183-2 v2.1.0, the German federal guideline that concretises the CRA SBOM requirement. The validator verifies the minimum specification version (CycloneDX 1.6 or SPDX 3.0.1) and every required data field for the SBOM itself and for each component, including creator, timestamp, dependencies, licences and hashes. Validation runs entirely in your browser. The same document is also assessed against the 2026 Minimum Elements for a Software Bill of Materials, version 2.1, published by CISA with seventeen partner agencies including seven EU national cybersecurity authorities. That document replaced the 2021 NTIA minimum elements and expanded the field count from seven to seventeen. It is not EU law and creates no CRA obligation, but it is increasingly what procurement asks for. The two verdicts are reported separately and never blended, because the frameworks genuinely disagree: TR-03183-2 sets minimum format versions that the 2026 elements do not, and the 2026 elements require transitive dependency coverage that CRA Annex I Part II(1) does not.
