Volkswagen Touran Service Manual: Certificate of Conformity

Volkswagen Touran Service Manual / Wheel and Tire Guide Information / Specifications for Retrofitting Wheel and Tire Combinations (Documents) / Certificate of Conformity

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.

EU Type Approval Number, Sales Code and Sales or Trade Name

The Additional Descriptions Only Apply to VW Vehicles.

Since 01/01/1998, all passenger vehicles licensed for road use within the European Union must possess type approval according to EU guidelines . Vehicles licensed for road use with single-vehicle approval according to 21 StVZO in Germany are excepted.

Therefore, the same guidelines apply to all automobile manufacturers. Consequently, international trade within the EU has been simplified.

The certificate of conformity contains the EU type approval number and detailed technical information about the vehicle such as the emissions category and all permitted wheel/tire combinations. Refer to → Chapter "Certificate of Conformity".
