What is Certificate Of Conformity (CoC)?

It is issued by the manufacturer. It is needed for import and registration. It lists technical data. It is especially important when importing a car from another EU country, as it simplifies registration. Manufacturers can issue duplicates, often for a fee, using the VIN. Cars made for markets outside the EU may not have one and need individual approval.

How it works

It links the car to its type approval.

Why it matters for your car

Replacements can be ordered. Check it when importing.
