KBA IVI 2.0 Transition: Prepare Your eCoC Process for November 2026 | Electronic COC

KBA plans IVI 2.x testing for October 2026 and live operation from 5 November. Prepare eCoC data, validation, eIDAS signing and correction workflows now.

Electronic COC helps authorized teams prepare, review, sign and manage electronic certificate workflows with clearer ownership. The guide connects daily certificate work with clear operating decisions.

KBA IVI 2.0 Transition: Prepare Your eCoC Process for November 2026

KBA's information dated 16 September 2026 sets out an important transition window for IVI 2.x. The test environment is expected during October 2026, live use is planned from 5 November 2026, and the legacy InterIVI-CoC interface is planned to close on 29 November 2026. The exact test-opening day had not yet been stated in the information available for this article.

For manufacturers, the practical task is wider than generating an XML file. Vehicle data, approval context, IVI 2.0 validation, eIDAS signing or sealing, the applicable KBA or NAP route, acknowledgements and correction records all need to work as one controlled process. Dates and operating details remain subject to later KBA updates.

The KBA IVI 2.0 dates manufacturers should track

October 2026 is the expected window for the IVI 2.x test environment. Manufacturers should enter that window with representative records, known data owners and signing preparation already in place, so testing can focus on real submission and correction scenarios rather than basic data discovery.

Live use, access for registration authorities and routing through KBA to EUCARIS are planned from 5 November 2026. The legacy InterIVI-CoC interface, which combines CoC and national data, is planned to close on 29 November 2026. Treat these as planning dates and confirm them against KBA's latest technical communication before production activity.

Turn vehicle data into submission-ready eCoC records

A successful transition starts with source data. VIN, approval number, extension, variant, version and technical values should be mapped to an accountable source and reviewed before the IVI 2.0 record is released. A technically well-formed message can still be wrong when the underlying vehicle or approval context is wrong.

Electronic COC helps manufacturer teams create structured eCoC records, review missing information and run IVI 2.0 validation before the applicable external delivery step. Platform validation improves readiness; it is not a guarantee of KBA, EUCARIS, NAP or registration-authority acceptance.

Coordinate electronic signing and delivery evidence

KBA's information also draws attention to the eIDAS suitability of certificates. Manufacturers should confirm certificate ownership, signing authority, validity, trust chain and operational access before testing. Electronic COC supports signing-readiness and evidence coordination but does not act as a certificate authority, qualified trust service provider or governmental authority.

The applicable KBA or RDW/NAP route depends on manufacturer authorization and authority-specific onboarding. Electronic COC can keep the record, validation state, signature status, delivery response and next action visible in one workflow when the required customer connection is authorized and configured.

Plan correction records, not deletion

A key operational point in KBA's communication is that an IVI 2.x record cannot simply be deleted by KBA after submission. The information is distributed through EUCARIS before storage in the KBA context, so an error must be handled with a correction record.

Testing should therefore include more than a successful first message. Teams should deliberately test an invalid record, interpret the response, correct the source data, issue the appropriate correction and preserve the relationship between the original and replacement evidence.

Send national data in the right order

KBA states that national data should follow the related IVI-CoC record and recommends sending it one day later for a safe operating sequence. This makes correlation, status tracking and retry control essential, especially when production volumes increase.

The waiting period and continuation rules should be confirmed against the latest KBA technical guidance. A manufacturer workflow should show which IVI-CoC record was sent, which response was received, whether the required interval has passed and whether the national-data step is permitted to continue.

KBA IVI 2.0 readiness checklist

Prepare representative vehicle and type-approval records before the test environment opens.
Validate IVI 2.0 structure and business rules against the current applicable package.
Confirm eIDAS certificate suitability, signing authority and operational access.
Document the authorized KBA or RDW/NAP delivery route for the manufacturer.
Test acknowledgements, errors, corrections, retries and archive evidence.
Keep IVI-CoC and national-data sequencing visible and configurable.
Reconfirm dates and technical rules against KBA's latest communication before going live.

Where Electronic COC fits

Electronic COC brings eCoC record preparation, IVI 2.0 validation, signing-readiness coordination and delivery-response tracking into one manufacturer-side workflow. It supports readiness and controlled operations; authority authorization, legal responsibility and final acceptance remain with the manufacturer and the relevant external parties.

Frequently asked questions

When is KBA planning the IVI 2.x test and live transition?

KBA's 16 September 2026 information points to October 2026 for the test environment, 5 November 2026 for planned live use, and 29 November 2026 for planned closure of the legacy InterIVI-CoC interface. Check later KBA notices before acting.

Can an incorrect IVI 2.x record be deleted after submission?

KBA's communication says the record cannot simply be deleted; the error should be handled through a correction record. The exact technical process should follow current KBA documentation.

Does Electronic COC guarantee KBA or EUCARIS acceptance?

No. Electronic COC supports preparation, validation, signing-readiness and response tracking. Acceptance depends on the applicable authority route, authorization, data and technical rules.

How the certificate workflow is organized

Authorized teams need to understand how certificate records, approval references, vehicle data, review responsibility and final output preparation fit together in daily work. Electronic COC focuses on this operating layer, so the team can see what exists, what is missing, who owns the next action and whether a record is ready to move forward.

The platform is intended for manufacturers and authorized teams managing eCoC workflows. It is not an individual vehicle-owner COC ordering service. This distinction matters because repeatable certificate work needs process control, traceability and rollout planning rather than a one-off document request.

How Electronic COC supports eCoC

A strong digital certificate workflow starts before output generation. The team should know which vehicle information is authoritative, which approval references apply, which users review completeness and which records require follow-up. Electronic COC gives the organization a shared workspace for this preparation work, so eCoC readiness can be reviewed before pressure builds at the final stage.

For technical topics such as eCoC, Electronic Certificate of Conformity, Vehicle COC, IVI, EUCARIS and XML, the daily problem is often coordination. Raw data, XML preparation, EUCARIS or NAP delivery, signing responsibility and type approval context can involve different people. A visible workflow helps those people work from the same record instead of reconstructing status from emails, folders or spreadsheets.

Where Electronic COC fits

Electronic COC helps Malaysian vehicle manufacturer, regional compliance team and type approval teams prepare certificate records, check missing information, keep approval context attached and follow the status of each record. The platform is useful when a manufacturer wants to start with a controlled scope, prove the workflow with real records and then expand after users understand the process.

The goal is not to add another isolated tool. The goal is to make certificate work easier to see, assign, review and finish. That includes commercial planning through a scope-based quote, implementation planning around real vehicle groups and practical user adoption for compliance, operations and management teams.

Implementation checklist

Define the first manufacturer team, vehicle group or certificate workflow in scope.
List the approval and vehicle data that must be attached to each record.
Clarify who owns data completion, readiness review and output preparation.
Identify IVI, XML, EUCARIS, signing, VECTO, ERP or API requirements early.
Decide how exceptions, missing information and repeated checks will be handled.
Keep the first rollout narrow enough for users to adopt, then expand with evidence.

How to decide the next step

The practical question is whether your current process can support repeated certificate work with clear data ownership, traceable review and predictable rollout. Electronic COC is built for that manufacturer-side question. It helps teams turn regulatory and technical context into a process people can operate every day.

The strongest results usually come from combining process clarity with technical readiness. That means the team understands what data is required, which records are blocked, who should review the next action and how the first implementation scope will become a larger operating model.

Certified information security and quality management

Electronic COC operates under ISO/IEC 27001 information security and ISO 9001 quality management systems for the relevant certified scope.

What to evaluate before choosing software

Manufacturers should evaluate whether the platform supports real daily work: record status, ownership, missing-data review, approval references, user roles and a clear path from pilot scope to wider rollout. A good eCoC workflow should help both technical and non-technical users understand the same process.

Electronic COC is designed around that practical operating model. If your team is comparing options, focus on how quickly users can understand the workflow, how clearly readiness is visible and how well the platform supports your actual certificate volume and rollout constraints.
