Material Disclosure Requirements:
The European End-of-Life-Vehicles (ELV) Directive 2000/53EC that was entered into force on Oct. 21, 2000 imposes specific rules for materials used in cars. All suppliers are responsible to ensure that the ELV Directive is fulfilled and must inform us about the contents of every part delivered through full materials disclosure (FMD) in the appropriate format.
To ensure regulatory compliance to the ELV Directive and any applicable substance regulations over time, it is necessary to document the material and substance composition of the entire vehicle. The International Material Data System (IMDS) and CDX allow companies to manage the information regarding the material and substance composition of all the components of a vehicle so that compliance to the ELV Directive is documented.
For more information, please visit Cummins' Materials Disclosure and Guide.
