As announced at our IMDS user meeting in October, Rec019 will be disabled for reporting E/E components. The latest IMDS newsletter states the following:

„It is planned to deactivate the published semi-components of the ZVEI-Rec019 registration in IMDS. After that these semi-components cannot be referenced resp. used anymore in new created MDSs.The IMDS SC is in ongoing discussion with representatives of ZVEI and the supplier associations (AIAG, CLEPA and JAPIA) about the planned deactivation of IMDS Recommendation 019 and how to accomplish future reporting for electronic components in compliance with legal requirements.”

In our training "IMDS - Electrical/Electronic Components" (6173) we will inform you about the current developments and how you can report the affected components.
