Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: 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“. |
