Robbos Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 We have been trying to find out how to do this for 3 months (don't move until next Spring but trying to be prepared.........) but no joy. Our lorry is a Ford Iveco, but Iveco won't respond to requests and our manufacturer (Tristar) has never imported to France, and no one can show us what a certificate de conformite pro forma looks like! We have just decided to take the lorry to France ( I really like my lorry and have no desire to get rid of it) and drive to the necessary authority in France and ask for their help. If it turns out impossible within the 12 months then we will return it to the UK and sell, then buy in France. Will watch other answers with much interest!! Good luck.

Will Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 When you get to France, you will need to get the vehicle inspected by DRIRE for the département in which you live. If the horsebox meets French standards DRIRE will issue an attestation which you can use in place of a manufacturer's European certificate of conformity when registering. Find the relevant DRIRE, and more information, at http://www.drire.gouv.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlonghurst Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hi,We have already started the process of registering our Rice Richardson Horse trailer and will keep you posted. Rice Richardson do not export or have offices in france and therefore can provide no Cert of conformity.We went down to the DRIRE and gave them a picture (brochure) with all the tech specs on and also some paperwork (in French and german) which specifies the breaking systems conformance with EU requirements.The lady at the DRIRE has sent all the documents off and will phone us back soon!!!!!!!!!Our problem now is that as we have re-registered our car onto French plates we cannot tow the trailer which is still on UK plates (against the law here).Will keep you posted.Regards, Mike L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
