The chromatic polynomial P(G,λ) gives the number of proper colourings of a graph G in at most λ colours. If P(G,λ)=P(H1,λ)P(H2,λ)/P(Kr,λ), then G is said to have a chromatic factorisation of order r with chromatic factors H1 and H2. It is clear that, if 0≤r≤2, any H1⁄≅Kr with chromatic number χ(H1)≥r is the chromatic factor of some chromatic factorisation of order r. We show that every H1⁄≅K3 with χ(H1)≥3, even when H1 contains no triangles, is the chromatic factor of some chromatic factorisation of order 3 and give a certificate of factorisation for this chromatic factorisation. This certificate shows in a sequence of seven steps using some basic properties of chromatic polynomials that a graph G has a chromatic factorisation with one of the chromatic factors being H1. This certificate is one of the shortest known certificates of factorisation, excluding the trivial certificate for chromatic factorisations of clique-separable graphs.
