This space is used for discussions and announcements around INSPIRE validation & conformity testing. Before reporting a problem or making a pull request, please read the contribution guidelines. Also, please follow our Code of Conduct anytime when you interact with the INSPIRE community in this space.
NOTE: Following the discontinuation of the central instance of the INSPIRE Reference Validator on 1 April 2026, INSPIRE implementers and data providers are recommended to setup their own instance of the Validator. Hence, support in the helpdesk will only be provided for interpretation/clarification of test results obtained using your own instance of the INSPIRE Reference Validator. Instead, no support will be provided on deployment issues.
Use the Issue tracker to report a problem with the interpretation of results using your own instance of the INSPIRE Reference Validator.
Use the Discussions tab to start a discussion or raise a question of interest to the community around the INSPIRE Reference Validator, choosing the appropriate category.
Please do not use the helpdesk to report security vulnerabilities of the INSPIRE Reference Validator. To report these, please contact us at JRC-INSPIRE-SUPPORT AT ec.europa.eu.
Please note that the Issue tracker and the Discussions tab should not be used to report generic issues with INSPIRE implementation (for these, please use the generic INSPIRE helpdesk), but only to report problems of the INSPIRE Reference Validator.
Please check the changelog of the current and past releases to access the full set of releases of the INSPIRE Reference Validator.
