Its primary aim was to simplify the recycling and reutilization of end-of-life vehicles and their parts. The IMDS was developed in 1999 by DXC Technology, which was previously known as EDS. It was set up by the automotive sector to help manufacturers and OEMs comply with the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/HTML\/?uri=CELEX:32000L0053&amp;from=DE\">End-of-Life Vehicles Directive<\/a>. Its other aim was to provide quick and secure access to data (see IMDS number).<\/p><p>The IMDS database was created through a joint venture between DXC Technology, and a consortium composed of Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, Opel, Porsche, VW, and Volvo. Other companies have since joined the consortium and almost all OEMs with a global presence now use the IMDS. The International Material Database System has become the international standard for the sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dee942 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6dee942\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1151\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1151\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The End-of-Life Vehicles Directive<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1151\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1151\"><p>Development of the IMDS (International Material Data System) was driven by the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/DE\/ALL\/?uri=celex%3A32000L0053\">EU Directive 2000\/53\/EC<\/a>) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmu.de\/en\/law\/ordinance-on-the-transfer-collection-and-environmentally-sound-disposal-of-end-of-life-vehicles\">German End-of-Life Vehicles Ordinance<\/a> (previously the End-of-Life Automobiles Ordinance).

A single vehicle can be made from up to one million parts and each of these must be precisely documented. This is where the IMDS database and archiving system developed by our partner DXC Technology comes into play.

These exceptions are being gradually revoked. The IMDS provides a record of substances that have been approved as exceptions and ensures they are being used in the correct quantities. It was later developed so that reports could be generated in accordance with other regulations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imds-professional.com\/en\/reach-regulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REACH<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imds-professional.com\/en\/biocides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biocidal Product Directive<\/a>.<\/p><p>The system gives the IMDS consortium members and their partners in the supply sector access to all the relevant materials data. This makes it easier for automotive manufacturers and suppliers to comply with national and international standards, laws, and directives. The system also helps manufacturers and suppliers to conserve precious resources and ensures that materials are recycled as sustainably as possible. But the IMDS is not just a recycling database. A special database \u2013 the International Dismantling Information System (IDIS) \u2013 provides recycling information for those involved in reprocessing end-of-life vehicles. The main purpose of the IMDS is to provide information on the composition of materials. This allows companies to prove that they are complying with the relevant regulations.<\/p><p>The IMDS has evolved into the international standard for the sector. The information stored in the system helps vehicle manufacturers to compile and analyze data relating to Material Data Sheets, components, assemblies, subassemblies, and complete vehicles. IMDS data therefore helps companies to document the entire production process for complex components. The manufacturer also needs to check the Material Data Sheets against the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL) before they can be approved.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1154\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1154\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">GADSL<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1154\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1154\"><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadsl.org\/\">GADSL<\/a> \u2013 (\u201cGlobal Automotive Declarable Substance List\u201d) is a list of declarable substances in the automotive industry and is updated regularly. No wildcards may be used in the IMDS for declarable substances. This may be for different reasons: either because the law states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imds-professional.com\/en\/reach-regulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SVHCs<\/a> (Substances of Very High Concern) must be registered or for technical reasons. A material can also be completely prohibited. In this instance, careful checks should be carried out to establish why a material is prohibited. For example, a substance may be prohibited as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imds-professional.com\/en\/biocides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biocide<\/a> but allowed as a vulcanizing material. It is also possible that materials may be prohibited but still have to be declared. These are designated as \u201cmust be declared\/prohibited\u201d. In practice, this means the material is prohibited with exceptions. For example, lead is completely prohibited in automotive components but there are precisely defined exceptions for specific vehicle components.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1155\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1155\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Who is responsible for IMDS listing?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1155\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1155\"><p>Since 2009, the EU Type-Approval Directive has made it mandatory for OEMs to use a database similar to the IMDS. This was previously voluntary, but suppliers are now obliged to create an IMDS listing of the goods that are utilized in vehicles. Type approval is not granted without IMDS data. The IMDS data are also transferred to the type-approval authorities. The supplier must sign an appropriate framework contract when the parts are ordered. Alternatively, they must indicate in a contract that the items are going to be used in vehicles and that the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/DE\/ALL\/?uri=celex%3A32000L0053\">End-of-Life Vehicles Directive<\/a> has been taken into consideration. The EU Directive this is based on is binding. Even samples must be contractually agreed in accordance with VDA Volume 2. VDA Volume 2 now includes the provision that an acceptable MDS is a prerequisite of the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). If these prerequisites are met, the supplier may still file a notification of defect against the supplier of the goods if there is a missing entry. If the supplier of the goods is a distributor (and not the manufacturer), they can insist that the supplier lists the items in question.<\/p><p>Our customized services help companies minimize liability risk and the risk of returns, which helps to safeguard an organization\u2019s corporate image and reputation.

The CAS Number is also sometimes called the CAS Registry Number, the \u201cCAS Number for Basic Substances\u201d or the IMDS ID Number. The basic substances listed in the IMDS are sorted by three different types. Basic substances can have several synonyms, which means it is best to look them up using the CAS number. \u201cNormal basic substances\u201d, such as water, have a CAS number which allows them to be clearly classified. \u201cPseudo basic substances\u201d such as acrylic resin or horsehair do not have a CAS number.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1159\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1159\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Wild cards<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1159\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1159\"><p>There are also place holders, known as wild cards.

(see IMDS number above). The IMDS company ID is an international registration number for all automotive suppliers who use the IMDS. This number is automatically allocated when a company account is created. As the number is generated by the system, it provides information on how long a company or organizational unit has been registered on the IMDS. A company with an ID number below 60,000 is a more recent member than a company with an ID number below 1,000. Umbrella organizations are only allocated a \u201croof company ID\u201d but can apply for other ID numbers for multiple units with the organization.

This allows materials to be classified by their level of risk. The information about the composition of the components also makes it possible for them to be reconstructed. Specific entry guidelines or \u201crecommendations\u201d apply when creating a Material Data Sheet. Material Data Sheets are forwarded to the customer within the supply chain.

For this reason, IMDS Release 13.0 onwards has included new attribute fields as well as an interface from IMDS to the SCIP database.
