ABE also valid as a copy?

Hello, I am currently faced with the following challenge: I would like to buy a vehicle for which no retrofitting soot filter is offered. Now I could find someone who has registered a suitable filter by individual acceptance. Now my question, can I also install and register a filter with the copy of this report or do I need the original copy? And what does the situation look like if I have a few commercial vehicles? Is a copy enough? Greeting Dennis
