The IMDS: Implementation of the ELV
IMDS：ELV 的实施

The International Material Database System (IMDS) is an online database and archiving system which stores information on the materials that are used to manufacture motor vehicles. 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 End-of-Life Vehicles Directive. Its other aim was to provide quick and secure access to data (see IMDS number).
国际材料数据库系统 （IMDS） 是一个在线数据库和存档系统，用于存储用于制造汽车的材料信息。其主要目标是简化报废车辆及其零件的回收和再利用。IMDS 由 DXC Technology（前身为 EDS）于 1999 年开发。它由汽车行业设立，旨在帮助制造商和 OEM 遵守报废车辆指令 。它的另一个目标是提供快速和安全的数据访问（参见 IMDS 编号）。

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.
IMDS 数据库是由 DXC Technology 的合资企业创建的，该联盟由奥迪、宝马、戴姆勒、福特、欧宝、保时捷、大众和沃尔沃组成的财团组成。此后，其他公司也加入了该联盟，几乎所有具有全球影响力的 OEM 现在都在使用 IMDS。国际材料数据库系统已成为该行业的国际标准。

The End-of-Life Vehicles Directive
报废车辆指令

Development of the IMDS (International Material Data System) was driven by the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (EU Directive 2000/53/EC) and the German End-of-Life Vehicles Ordinance (previously the End-of-Life Automobiles Ordinance). According to the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELV), all vehicles must be almost completely recyclable. Manufacturers and their suppliers across the entire supply chain must therefore carefully document all the materials they utilize in every vehicle they produce. 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. Annex II to the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive is updated on a regular basis and it can be difficult to stay informed. We regularly publish updates in our eZine ipJournal.
IMDS（国际材料数据系统）的开发是由报废车辆指令（ 欧盟指令 2000/53/EC）和德国报废车辆条例 （以前的报废汽车条例）推动的。根据报废车辆指令 （ELV），所有车辆必须几乎完全可回收。因此，整个供应链中的制造商及其供应商必须仔细记录他们生产的每辆车中使用的所有材料。一辆车可以由多达一百万个零件制成，每个零件都必须精确记录。这就是我们的合作伙伴 DXC Technology 开发的 IMDS 数据库和归档系统发挥作用的地方。报废车辆指令的附件 II 会定期更新，因此可能很难随时了解情况。我们定期在我们的 eZine ipJournal 上发布更新。

The IMDS database – one international system for materials compliance
IMDS 数据库 – 一个国际材料合规系统

Data that needs to be recorded when recycling a vehicle component is entered in the IMDS database via Material Data Sheets (MDS). This ensures there is always a detailed and complete record of the materials that were used to manufacture each vehicle. The database makes it very easy to retrieve data and forward it securely along the supply chain. The IMDS also serves as an archive and management system.
回收车辆部件时需要记录的数据通过材料数据表 （MDS） 输入到 IMDS 数据库中。这确保了用于制造每辆车的材料始终有详细和完整的记录。该数据库使检索数据并沿供应链安全地转发数据变得非常容易。IMDS 还用作存档和管理系统。

A global standard for the automotive sector
汽车行业的全球标准

According to the ELV Directive, vehicles manufactured after July 1, 2003, may not contain lead, hexavalent chromium (chromium VI), cadmium or mercury, apart from in exceptional cases, as listed in Annex II. 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 REACH and the Biocidal Product Directive.
根据 ELV 指令，2003 年 7 月 1 日之后制造的车辆不得含有铅、六价铬（六价铬）、镉或汞，除非在附件 II 中列出的特殊情况。这些例外正在逐步撤销。IMDS 提供已被批准为例外的物质的记录，并确保它们以正确的数量使用。后来开发了它，以便可以根据 REACH 和生物杀灭剂产品指令等其他法规生成报告。

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 – the International Dismantling Information System (IDIS) – 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.
该系统使 IMDS 联盟成员及其在供应领域的合作伙伴能够访问所有相关的材料数据。这使得汽车制造商和供应商更容易遵守国家和国际标准、法律和指令。该系统还有助于制造商和供应商节约宝贵的资源，并确保尽可能可持续地回收材料。但 IMDS 不仅仅是一个回收数据库。一个特殊的数据库 – 国际拆解信息系统 （IDIS） – 为参与对报废车辆进行再处理的人员提供回收信息。IMDS 的主要目的是提供有关材料成分的信息。这使公司能够证明他们遵守了相关法规。

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.
IMDS 已发展成为该行业的国际标准。存储在系统中的信息可帮助汽车制造商编译和分析与材料数据表、组件、组件、子组件和整车相关的数据。因此，IMDS 数据可以帮助公司记录复杂部件的整个生产过程。制造商还需要根据全球汽车申报物质清单 （GADSL） 检查材料数据表，然后才能获得批准。

GADSL  加德斯

The GADSL – Global Automotive Declarable Substance List – is a list of materials used in the automotive sector which have to be declared. The de-identification options in the IMDS (for example, for confidential corporate information) may not be used for materials which have to be declared. This may be for different reasons: either because the law states that SVHCs (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 biocide 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 “must be declared/prohibited”. 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.
GADSL – 全球汽车申报物质清单 – 是汽车行业使用必须申报的材料清单。IMDS 中的去标识化选项（例如，用于机密的公司信息）不能用于必须申报的材料。这可能是出于不同的原因：要么是因为法律规定必须注册 SVHC（高度关注物质），要么是出于技术原因。材料也可以完全禁止。在这种情况下，应进行仔细检查以确定禁止使用材料的原因。例如，某种物质可能被禁止作为杀菌剂 ，但允许作为硫化材料。也有可能禁止使用材料，但仍必须申报。这些被指定为“必须声明/禁止”。在实践中，这意味着该材料被禁止使用，但有例外。例如，汽车部件中完全禁止使用铅，但对于特定的车辆部件有明确定义的例外情况。

Who is responsible for IMDS listing?
谁负责 IMDS 列表？

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 End-of-Life Vehicles Directive 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.
自 2009 年以来，欧盟型式认可指令强制要求 OEM 使用类似于 IMDS 的数据库。这以前是自愿的，但现在供应商有义务为车辆中使用的商品创建 IMDS 清单。没有 IMDS 数据，不授予型式认证。IMDS 数据也被传输到型式认证机构。订购零件时，供应商必须签署适当的框架合同。或者，他们必须在合同中表明这些物品将用于车辆，并且已考虑报废车辆指令 。其所依据的欧盟指令具有约束力。即使是样品也必须根据 VDA 第 2 卷签订合同。VDA 第 2 卷现在包括以下规定：可接受的 MDS 是生产件批准程序 （PPAP） 的先决条件。如果满足这些先决条件，如果缺少条目，供应商仍然可以向货物供应商提交缺陷通知。如果商品的供应商是分销商（而不是制造商），他们可以坚持要求供应商列出有问题的商品。

IMDS numbers / MDS ID no.
IMDS 编号 / MDS ID 编号

An MDS ID No. – also known as an IMDS number – is required to create and manage Material Data Sheets for the automotive industry. As there is often confusion regarding terminology in this area, an overview of the most significant numbers in the IMDS is available here.
MDS ID 号– 也称为 IMDS 编号 – 是创建和管理汽车行业材料数据表所必需的。由于该领域的术语经常存在混淆，因此 IMDS 中最重要的数字的概述可在此处获得。

Material numbers  物料编号

A material is generally made up of several basic substances. For example, steel contains both iron and several alloys. If the material is named in an international standard, the given material number must be provided.
一种材料通常由几种基本物质组成。例如，钢同时包含铁和几种合金。如果材料在国际标准中命名，则必须提供给定的材料编号。

CAS numbers  CAS 号

Most basic substances in the IMDS are chemical elements from the periodic table. The CAS number is used to identify these basic substances as chemical or organic compounds. The CAS Number is also sometimes called the CAS Registry Number, the “CAS Number for Basic Substances” 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. “Normal basic substances”, such as water, have a CAS number which allows them to be clearly classified. “Pseudo basic substances” such as acrylic resin or horsehair do not have a CAS number. 
IMDS 中的大多数基本物质是元素周期表中的化学元素。CAS 号用于识别这些基本物质是化学或有机化合物。CAS 号有时也称为 CAS 登记号、“碱性物质 CAS 号”或 IMDS ID 号。IMDS 中列出的基本物质分为三种不同的类型。碱性物质可以有多个同义词，这意味着最好使用 CAS 号查找它们。“正常碱性物质”，例如水，有一个 CAS 号，可以清楚地对它们进行分类。丙烯酸树脂或马鬃等“伪碱性物质”没有 CAS 号。

Wild cards  通配符

There are also place holders, known as wild cards. These are generic groups of materials which are harmless and never have to be declared. Dangerous materials, which fall within the generic material classification, must be specifically named. For example, the wild card “flame retardant” may only be used if the flame retardant used does not pose any safety risks. Any dangerous flame retardant from the GADSL must be stated separately. No more than ten percent of a given material can be made up of wild card substances. Basic substances which have to be declared or are prohibited may not be classified here. The IMDS system lists nine wild cards. The CAS number for these wildcards has the word “system” next to it.
还有一些占位符，称为通配符。这些是无害且无需申报的通用材料组。属于通用材料分类的危险材料必须具体命名。例如，只有在使用的阻燃剂不会造成任何安全风险的情况下，才能使用通配符“flame retardant”。GADSL 中的任何危险阻燃剂都必须单独说明。给定材料中不能超过 10% 的外卡物质组成。必须申报或禁止的基本物质不得在此处分类。IMDS 系统列出了 9 个通配符。这些通配符的 CAS 编号旁边有单词 “system”。

IMDS company ID  IMDS 公司 ID

The IMDS company ID is not to be confused with the MDS ID no. (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 “roof company ID” but can apply for other ID numbers for multiple units with the organization. These are often simply referred to as “IMDS numbers” within companies.
IMDS 公司 ID 不要与 MDS ID 号混淆。（参见上面的 IMDS 编号）。IMDS 公司 ID 是所有使用 IMDS 的汽车供应商的国际注册号。此编号在创建公司帐户时自动分配。由于该号码是由系统生成的，因此它提供有关公司或组织单位在 IMDS 上注册了多长时间的信息。ID 号低于 60,000 的公司比 ID 号低于 1,000 的公司是最近的成员。伞式组织仅分配一个“屋顶公司 ID”，但可以向组织申请多个单元的其他 ID 号。这些在公司内部通常被简单地称为“IMDS 编号”。

IMDS data  IMDS 数据

The information on materials composition stored in the International Material Data System IMDS is known as the IMDS data (Material Data Sheet – MDS). As vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are responsible for manufacturing, recycling and disposing of their products (see End-of-Life Vehicles Directive), they must make sure they carefully manage the data on the materials contained in their products. 
存储在国际材料数据系统 IMDS 中的材料成分信息称为 IMDS 数据（材料数据表 - MDS）。由于汽车制造商和供应商负责制造、回收和处置其产品（请参阅报废车辆指令），因此他们必须确保仔细管理其产品中包含的材料数据。

Creating Material Data Sheets
创建材料数据表

Every Material Data Sheet (MDS) contains all the relevant data on the materials used to make a specific component, semi-finished product, raw material, and basic substance. It is basically a summary of all the materials utilized in the manufacturing process and how much of them are contained in the individual components. 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 “recommendations” apply when creating a Material Data Sheet. Material Data Sheets are forwarded to the customer within the supply chain. The customer then integrates this information into another Material Data Sheet. The last entity to produce an MDS is the organization that supplies the component to the vehicle manufacturer.
每个材料数据表 （MDS） 都包含有关用于制造特定组件、半成品、原材料和基本物质的材料的所有相关数据。它基本上是制造过程中使用的所有材料的摘要，以及各个组件中包含多少材料。这允许按材料的风险级别进行分类。有关组件组成的信息也使它们可以重建。创建材料数据表时，应遵循特定的参赛指南或“建议”。物料数据表在供应链中转发给客户。然后，客户将此信息集成到另一个材料数据表中。生成 MDS 的最后一个实体是向车辆制造商供应组件的组织。

SCIP database and TARIC code
SCIP 数据库和 TARIC 代码

Since January 2021, many businesses, including those in the automotive industry, have also had to submit data on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) to the SCIP database. For this reason, IMDS Release 13.0 onwards has included new attribute fields as well as an interface from IMDS to the SCIP database. SVHC products entered into the SCIP database must have the correct TARIC code in the dataset or dossier. Customs codes already exist for almost every product traded internationally. These codes include information on the good’s classification. The TARIC code is also used when updating the SCIP database with these products. If you create dossiers for the SCIP database, you will have to classify each of your products using the TARIC code system. It is therefore important that you understand these codes and use them correctly.
自 2021 年 1 月以来，许多企业，包括汽车行业的企业，也必须向 SCIP 数据库提交高度关注物质 （SVHC） 数据。因此，IMDS 13.0 版以后包含了新的属性字段以及从 IMDS 到 SCIP 数据库的接口。输入到 SCIP 数据库中的 SVHC 产品在数据集或档案中必须具有正确的 TARIC 代码。几乎所有国际贸易产品都已经存在海关编码。这些代码包括有关商品分类的信息。使用这些产品更新 SCIP 数据库时，也会使用 TARIC 代码。如果您为 SCIP 数据库创建档案，则必须使用 TARIC 代码系统对每个产品进行分类。因此，理解并正确使用这些代码非常重要。
