Speaking as a quality manager responsible for product compliance and international certification the words "in my opinion" count for nothing.
If I want to issue a COC for our products then it stays on file and I am responsible for it in perpetuity, even if I leave this company and move to another. I recently dealt with a case of a faulty product manufactured over ten years ago, the first thing the investigator did was 'caution' me - "anything you say etc"
Whoever signs that COC is making themselves responsible, in moderns times of high fines for non-compliance and no-win no fee legal people signing stuff is not something you do based on opinion.
I can see why it may take some persuading for somebody to do this.
