The vehicle manufacturer must request an EU type approval for all passenger vehicles (vehicle class M1).

A certificate of conformity is produced based on this type approval.

This document confirms that the vehicle conforms to the EU operating license and is registered in every EU country without the need for individual approval. The issuing applies to all vehicles that were produced in accordance with the EU operating license. These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the driver door area or in the engine compartment on older vehicles. The certificate of conformity has the same importance as the operating license, so the original should not be kept in the vehicle. In the certificate of conformity additional technical data and all permitted wheel/tire combinations are listed.
