A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is a document that states vehicle particulars in relation to the European Commission (EC) Type Approval standards, along with other important information and vehicle specifications.

Certificate of Conformity’s are a legal requirement for new motor vehicles and were introduced in 1998; the Certificate of Conformity’s have 51 numbered lines and are generally not available for any new model of motor vehicle manufactured and type approved before early 1998. 

Certificate of Conformity’s are a legal requirement for new motorcycles and were introduced in 2001. In 2004 Certificate of Conformity’s became a legal requirement for all vehicles.

In addition, please be aware that the EWVTA Certificate of Conformity (CoC) applies to products built for the EU market only, if the vehicle is a non-EU build, then a Certificate of Conformity will not be in existence.

This is also referred to as a ‘Dating Letter’ and may be available where the required manufacturer information can be obtained and verified by Suzuki GB. A Certificate of Construction contains the date and country of manufacture and where if available, is issued in absence of a Certificate of Conformity. 

Certificates of Construction/Dating Letters cannot be issued where the necessary manufacturer information is unavailable or cannot be verified. This may include vehicles independently imported into the UK from Japan or other non-European markets.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle was originally supplied through Suzuki GB's authorised distribution network, please contact our Customer Services Team before submitting an application.

We suggest that you discuss your circumstances with the local authorities of the country you intend on registering the product with, prior to completing the forms, to ensure the correct document is requested. Failure to do so may result in further delays and financial expense.
