What Factlint checks today
The Croatian invoice is UBL based on EN 16931: the sealed European core validates its heart. The Croatian CIUS itself is not pinned.
EN 16931 is validated and sealed, but the national rules are not applied. The API response states this explicitly rather than letting you assume a national conformity that was never checked.
Do you build invoicing software?
You are the one carrying this deadline for your customers. Factlint fits upstream of your chain: one call validates, fixes what can be fixed without risk, and returns the exact list of what is missing. Above all, every verdict is rendered against a pinned, time-stamped rule set — so you can replay it years later, and test today against rules that are not yet in force.

The mandate is in force, while several comparison sites still listed Croatia among “planned” countries in the summer of 2026.
