Meritor International Material Data System (IMDS):
What is IMDS?
The International Material Data System (IMDS) is a web-based data system that is used to create material data sheets. Every component that is registered in IMDS is associated with a unique IMDS ID/Version and IMDS report which contains information like weight, material and basic substance composition for that component. The IMDS report's application is to prove legal compliance, calculated recyclability and to some extent contribute in product development.
