A UK ELV certificate term for the document referred to in Part V of the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations.
Certificate of destruction is a practical ELV evidence object: it helps show that an end-of-life vehicle moved into a regulated destruction or treatment pathway rather than disappearing into an undocumented waste stream.
The End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003
the certificate referred to in Part V of these Regulations
Reference: Regulation 2
Implementation records should capture certificate number, vehicle identifier, authorised treatment facility, issue date, vehicle handover or destruction event, responsible actor, and links to depollution, dismantling, recovery, and disposal records.
For Minespider, a certificate of destruction should be treated as a traceability event in the vehicle end-of-life chain, not just a document upload. It should connect the vehicle to the facility and downstream material routes.
