Invoices to SGU

All purchases within the public sector are required by law to be electronically invoiced (e-invoicing) according to a new European standard. This means that all suppliers to Geological Survey of Sweden (Sveriges geologiska undersökning, SGU) must send e-invoices that comply with the new standard. Please note that PDF is not an approved format.
