When it comes to conformation sometimes customer tend to request document to verify it.One of it which a lot of us encountered as QA Engineer was COC a short term for Certificate of Compliance (COC) or some people would prefer it as Certificate of Conformance (COC).
Bare in mind no matter which Certificate of Compliance (COC) or Certificate of Compliance Certificate of Conformance (COC) requested, it depends solely on customer.They need clarification so they request COC as a gurantee letter on behalf of the supplier to customer.These also include what content to include into the COC, what key item needed to attached with it.So, asked your customer the sample or format if they have any.If not then you have create one for them based on what they need us to declare on that COC.
However below is one example of sample/template of COC regarding RoHS requirement for your understanding and reference.
