This is where Brexit can step up to the mark and clarify...
Other markets have "stamps" on for example wheel rims which clarify which parts can fit which vehicles. When you go for an MOT they scan the mark and if the computer says OK, then no problem, if the computer says NO, then you provide the paperwork that says YES, or it's NO.
You then have the option to buy those parts for your vehicle based on this approved number. It's not rocket science and it takes out the IMHO argument because it is either in the catalogue for the vehicle or it is not. It also gets rid of unapproved parts overnight,
The old E mark used to do the trick but that is no longer applicable to the UK since Jan. 31st.*
*It won't be once the E Kite is the new standard.
