A document certifying that a product, material or service complies with specified requirements.
A Certificate of Conformance (CoC) is a formal document issued by a manufacturer, supplier or contractor declaring that a delivered product, material or service complies with the applicable specifications, standards, purchase order requirements and contractual obligations. The certificate typically references the relevant standards, inspection records and supporting quality documentation.
A CoC provides documented evidence of compliance, supports quality assurance processes and assists with material traceability and regulatory requirements.
A Certificate of Conformance is frequently supplied with equipment and materials as part of manufacturing records and may reference Material Test Reports, inspection records or factory acceptance documentation.
A Certificate of Conformance declares compliance with specified requirements but normally contains less detailed technical information than a Certified Material Test Report.
