The abbreviation COC stands for “Certificate of Conformity.” It is a document issued by the manufacturer of a vehicle confirming that it complies with EU standards and directives.
The COC contains all information relating to the vehicle in question. This includes, among other things:
General data
Technical specifications
identifying characteristics
The COC forms the basis for registering a vehicle in the EU. The vehicle documents are created on the basis of the COC. In the past, this was a lengthy process in which all data had to be entered individually. It also facilitates EU-wide trade in vehicles, as the COC is recognized throughout the EU.
