1. Introduction

The International Material Data System helps to archive and manage all the

materials/parts used in the vehicle manufacture. IMDS plays the crucial role in

complying with the E.U. ELV Directive 2000/53/EC as well as for RRR and REACh.

Material data are passed along the supply chain (tier n, tier n-1,…to the

automobile manufacturer). It is the data creator’s responsibility to ensure that

requirements are passed downstream in the supply chain to assure that

compliance and data reporting of the material formulation is accurate.

From 2006, REACh, the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of

Chemicals has started within the EU. A candidate list of SVHCs (Substances of

very high concern) was established since 2008 under the REACh regulation.

Nissan requires suppliers who supply parts and related products, materials,

preparation (mixtures), indirect materials and packaging materials to Nissan to

identify if any of the substances on this list is contained in their products, for

example articles with more than 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) concentration. If

the products have a SVHC contained, Nissan requires suppliers to report to us

inputting the name and CAS number of the SVHC and the quantity into IMDS or

by other specified methods.

The RRR Directive (Reusability, Recyclability and Recoverability) requires the

manufacturer to evaluate the technical ability to reuse (reusability) recycle

(recyclability) and recover the energy embedded in the materials (energetic

recoverability). The sum of these three elements (recoverability) must reach 95%

for new vehicles.

The ultimate goal of Nissan’s environmental policy is managing the environmental

impact generated by the corporate activities, customer use of Nissan vehicles,

and the company's use of resources on a level that is within nature's capacity to

absorb. Nissan’s aim is to minimize the impact on the earth from Nissan's

business. Nissan defined three key issues to be tackled; reducing CO2 emissions,

reducing other emissions (to protect the air, water and soil) and recycling

resources.

This document gives an overview of the Nissan’s IMDS reporting requirements.

This will help Nissan’s suppliers to submit datasheets that are acceptable to


Nissan globally. Supplier shall comply standards and processes required by the

ANPQP (Renault/Nissan Alliance New Product Quality Procedure); IMDS, being an

ANPQP requirement is mandatory.

Company ID; failure of this will result in rejection of the datasheets.

4.3.7. Status Confirmation

Once the data has been submitted to Nissan, please verify the status. If you find

the data as ‘rejected’, please verify the rejection reasons entered by the Nissan

IMDS person, make necessary corrections and resubmit for approval.

5. Frequently Occurring Errors

These are some examples of the errors that Nissan has come across in the data

submissions from suppliers. The screenshots given below give a better

explanation of the errors and the corrections required in specific cases. Some of

these are pertaining to Nissan specific requirements while some others to the

IMDS recommendations in general.

Example SolutionＡ No input has been made for the Parts name. Input the Parts name.

ＢThe Parts name has been left as a component number. Input the Parts name.

Ｃ The Supplier Code is small capital letters. Be sure to input data in upper case half sized capital letters.

Ｄ The Supplier Code is missing Input the data.

ＥThere is no “N” at the beginning of the Supplier Code.

If it is a domestic supplier, the input should have N + 1 English letter + 3 digits such as “NS101”

ＦThe Supplier Code has been inputted into the column for the Bill of Delivery No. Input it into the Supplier code column.

ＧThe Supplier Code has been inputted into the space for the Report No.

Input the Supplier code specified in the Parts List provided by Nissan into the Supplier code column.

Ｈ There is a hyphen in the Supplier Code. Do not use hyphens, etc. in Supplier Codes such as in “NH-000.”

ＩThe Part No. is not a 10-digit number. It contains letters more than 11 digits.

Be sure not to indicate parts number in the following manner: [00000 11111] or [H000-1111-222].

JSmall capital is included in the English letters of the Part No. Please be sure to input data using capital letters.


Chemical Presence Type

Please refer the below link for definition of each option shown above:

https://www.mdsystem.com/imds/html/mdb/kap1/proc_chem_help_en.jsp

Application Code

Application code “Concentration within acceptable GADSL limits” should be

selected if the presence of heavy metal is below the threshold indicated in Annex

II of ELV directive.

Material Name

Trade Name as Material Name


Indescriptive Material name

Trade Name should not be entered as material name.

If the material is described in a public standard or if the nomenclature for

materials of a certain type is described in a public standard (example: ISO 1043-

1 to 4 for plastics, ISO 1629 for elastomers or ISO 18064 for thermoplastic

elastomers), then the material name according to this public standard must be

entered, example:

• For steels – EN 10027, JIS norms, example: STM-C 540

• For aluminum alloys – EN 573, JIS norms, example: Al-Si12

• For copper alloys – ISO norms, example: CuAl5

• For plastics – ISO 1043-1 to -4, example: PE-LD

• For elastomers – ISO 1629, example: ACM, NBR

• For thermoplastic elastomers – ISO 18064, example: TPA-ES

Default Name ‘Copy’/ ‘Kopie’

Remove the “kopie” or “copy” from the part or material description when an MDS

is copied to a new ID.

Material Breakdown


All the substances are listed down under one material under components/semi

components which is an improper tree structure breakdown. Please report the

substances under separate materials as how it exists originally.

Masterbatch structure

Wrong structure

Correct Plastic Masterbatch structure

Material Classification and Symbol

‘Plastics (in polymeric compounds)’ is not an acceptable classification. Please use

specific classifications like unfilled thermoplastics, filled thermoplastics or

elastomers. Standard symbols should be used as defined in respective ISO

standards. Please refer IMDS Recommendation 001_Annex I for the symbols of

polymers and fillers.


Substance Composition of Plastic Material

A plastics material should be described as it will be in the final part, e.g. only

those basic substances that are present in the final part should be disclosed.

Material and submaterial datasheets must not contain reactive basic substances

(monomers, vulcanization reagents, etc.) unless there are requirements for

reporting (potentially for residues).

6. FAQ

Category Question Answer

Registration with IMDS

Our company is already registered on IMDS in relation to another company. Does our company have to register again in relation to business with Nissan?

There is no need to register again.

Our company would like to register with IMDS, but how do we go about it?

Registration can be completed online at the IMDS website.

How much fees are charged for using IMDS?

There are no charges for suppliers. The OEM side (Nissan) pays HP charges based on the total number of MDSs.

Contact Person, Client Manager

We are not sure about what kind of person is appropriate as a Contact Person or Client Manager.

The Contact Person is a person who is familiar with materials. A Client Manager is a person who manages the User IDs in your company and who is the contact person with HP.

PasswordAlthough I inputted the password, a lock was applied and I was unable to log in. What do I do?

There is nothing that Nissan can do. You should ask the Client Manager of your company to reset your password. If the problem remains unresolved, you should contact the IMDS Service Center of HP.

Operationality Can’t I input data in Japanese?

No, it is not possible. This is a system that was developed in Europe and all data must be inputted using half-sized English letters.

Data Transmission

I have registered with IMDS but when I actually go to use the system, it takes a long time to switch from one page to the next. Is there anything I can do?

It depends on the internal internet connection environment but it could also be because the IMDS server is located in Europe.

If we send our company’s data to Nissan, is there a possibility that it will be seen by other suppliers?

No. Basically, only companies whose address you specify will be able to view your company’s information. However, if when you transmit your information you press the “Publish” button, your company’s information can be viewed by all IMDS users.

When you try to transmit data sheet to Nissan after “Internal” data transmission, you cannot see the “Send” button. (“Propose” and “Published” are only indicated into the IMDS.)

You should choose “Send” button.If you choose “Publishing” button, everyone can freely look at the data sheet.


7. Nissan Specific Checking

When the IMDS Company ID of Nissan is selected by the supplier for submitting material datasheets, Nissan Specific Checking is done in addition to the normal check in IMDS.
