    Summary: By means of a certain conformal covariant differentiation process explicit formulae are derived for (i) a conformally invariant generalized Bach tensor in dimension 6 (ii) conformally invariant differential operators acting on weighted functions, especially one with leading term \(\square^4\) (iii) conformal covariants on symmetric, trace-free \(p\)-tensor bundles, especially one with leading term \(\square^2\) (iv) conformal covariants on differential forms. Furthermore, theorems for uniqueness, existence and non-existence of conformal covariants, in particular in dimension 4, are given.
