Mr DVLA says:
"The IVA scheme is designed to certify a vehicle’s compliance with National (United Kingdom (UK)) law. There is no obligation on other European countries to accept a vehicle for registration on the basis of this approval and no guarantee that they will accept it." They don't specify how to get a copy of the certificate but a test is £450 so if the frogs will accept it, it is significantly cheaper to have it tested again here than to do it at all there!

Did you have to dislocate any body parts to access it?
