9.6 What is a COC? (Continental European customers only)
In this case, a Certificate of Conformity (COC) is a document that declares that your vehicle conforms to EC standards and is allowed free movement within the European Union. In the COC, the manufacturer declares that the vehicle meets the standards and requirements set by the EC. It identifies the vehicle and the manufacturer, the type approval number, technical specifications and other data. Exactly what the COC needs to include is set by EU regulation (Amendment IX, Regulation 92/53).
Only certain motorcycles, tractors and passenger vehicles qualify for a COC. Vehicles that do not have the EU specification (e.g. vehicles manufactured for the U.S. or Japanese markets) and older vehicles that have not been given the type approval of the EC yet are ineligible for COCs. Converted vehicles are also unable to be issued with COCs. In these cases, we do not provide a COC. This information will be highlighted in the car description, which we advise you to read carefully.
