In accordance with Article 31(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, the statement of conformity shall be made in such a way as to prevent any forgery and allowing verification of the secure electronic file.

2.1. Features to prevent forgery on a paper format

The paper used for the statement of conformity shall be protected by a watermark in the form of the registered mark of the manufacturer and by coloured graphics.

2.1.1.

As an alternative to the requirements set out in point 2.1, the paper of the statement of conformity may be not protected by a watermark in the form of the registered mark of the manufacturer. In this case, the coloured graphics shall be supplemented with at least one additional security printing feature (e.g. ultraviolet fluorescent ink, inks with viewing angle-dependent colour, inks with temperature-dependent colour, micro printing, guilloche printing, iridescent printing, laser engraving, custom holograms, variable laser images, optical variable images, physically embossed or engraved manufacturer's logo, etc.).

Where the statement of conformity has more than one sheet, each sheet shall state:

the title of the statement of conformity; the engine identification number set out in point 3.16 of section 1; a number with the format ‘x of y’, where ‘x’ is the consecutive number of the sheet and ‘y’ is the total number of sheets of the statement of conformity.

2.2. Features allowing the verification of the secure electronic file

The electronic file shall be supplied in a format so that each modification after signing can be easily identified, and it can be incorporated into another document. In addition, it shall be signed by an ‘advanced electronic signature’ according to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, including the signature verification data.
