For vehicles for which EC whole vehicle type approval (EC-WVTA) applies, each Member State shall register or permit the sale and entry into service of new vehicles only if they are accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity (CoC). In accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of the Directive, the manufacturer has the obligation to deliver an original hard copy of the CoC to the purchaser of the vehicle.
A certificate of conformity is, in effect, a statement by the manufacturer that the vehicle conforms to the relevant EC WVTA. Member States cannot refuse to register vehicles if they are accompanied by a valid CoC, proving compliance with the Community legislation.
