Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: EU general type approval number, sales type and sales or trade designation
| The designations below are only applicable for VW vehicles |
| Since 1.1.1998, all passenger cars licensed within the European
Union must have a type approval corresponding to EU guidelines. Vehicles
licensed for road use with single-vehicle approval according to § 21
StVZO in Germany are excepted. |
| This means the same guidelines apply to all vehicle manufacturers.
This makes it easier to trade across national borders within the EU. |
| The COC document contains the EU general type approval number and
detailed technical information on the vehicle such as emissions
classification and all the permitted wheel and tyre combinations
→ Chapter. |
