INTERNATIONAL MATERIAL DATA SYSTEM (IMDS)

The End of Life Vehicle Directive is a regulation the European Union established to address the environmental impact of end-of-life vehicles. The International Material Data System was created to serve as a material aggregation tool for the various reporting requirements initiated by the 2000/53/EC Directive. The IMDS system also  provides a means to identify components or parts that may contain dangerous or hazardous substances, like the chemicals or elements specified by the RoHS or REACh directives.
