IMDS

International Material Data System

Benefit from Our IMDS Expertise:
Interdisciplinary process integration, legally compliant data services, and practical training

Material data documentation through the International Material Data System (IMDS) is a requirement governed by both international and national regulations. Supplemented by customer-specific standards and product requirements, IMDS has become the established standard for manufacturers and suppliers across the automotive industry.

Within IMDS, all materials used in vehicle production are communicated, researched, validated, and monitored. This ensures that OEMs and suppliers comply with all applicable laws, directives, norms, and standards.

A key component of this process is the submission of IMDS data as part of the Initial Sample Inspection Report. Failure to submit the data on time can result in the product being classified as non-compliant and, in most cases, lead to rejection of the report.

With experience from over 400 projects each year, we provide you with expert know-how, fast implementation, and a clear competitive advantage.
