Question 1:

We are to create an IMDS entry with different materials for our customer. We get these materials from our sub-suppliers and then combine them into a complete IMDS entry.

Now we have an adhesive in use, which burns completely at about 150 degrees and is no longer present afterwards (adhesive is only used to fix two other materials). The component where the adhesive is used reaches a temperature of far more than 600 degrees.

My question is: Should the adhesive be included in the

Since 4 July 2020, PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), its salts and other compounds related to PFOA have been banned in the EU. It was regulated in Annex I of the EU Regulation 2019/1021 (so-called POP Regulation). It is the European implementation of the UN Stockholm Convention, which replaces the previously valid restriction of PFOA under Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation.

By definition, suppliers are obliged to always check the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (www.gadsl.org) for

The deactivation of the Rec019 data sheets of the ZVEI has been postponed to March 2021. However, many car manufacturers already reject MDS in which these data sheets were used. We, therefore, recommend that the IMDS data, according to Rec001 to be made available for electronic components and materials at all levels of the supply chain.

We have provided examples and explained the challenges for correct reporting in an interesting blog post.

1. Increased precision for portions
   The maximum number of floating point digits in portions is increased from 6 to 9 to allow the input of tiny fragments (e.g. for substances like PFOA)
   
   
2. Wizard for metallic materials
   This wizard helps users to select a material MDS name (MMDS) and a default material number. Suppose a default MMDS already exists for this material. In this case, a message will inform the user when releasing or referencing an MMDS.
   
   
3. Support for multi-sourcing
