While the CRA mentions SBOM in the draft many times, it is not requiring that 
the vendor
provides customers with an SBOM. It says that SBOM is a good tool for 
vulnerability
tracking and opens up for the EU to decide on a recommendation on a particular 
SBOM format.

So yes, it’s mentioning SBOM but it’s not going all the way.
