End Life Vehicle Directive 2000/53/ECDemonstrati
ng Compliance through IMDS.

• Matthew Griffin Jaguar Land Rover Materials
  Engineering
• June 2004

Introduction

• ELV Directive became effective 1/7/03
• This Directive severely restricts the use of Pb,
  Hg, Cd and Cr6
• Annexe II provides a list of exemptions
• Interpretations confusing (differ from State to
  State)
• Issues in receiving information from Suppliers
• Requirements for Whole Vehicle Recyclability
• 85 Re-use and energy recovery in 2006
• 95 Re-use and energy recovery in 2015

OEM Concerns / Issues

• Spare Parts
• Taking some Member State interpretations, we will
  not be able to sell spare parts for some
  applications, from July 2003.
• ELV versus WEEE discrepancies
• Hg in DVD / entertainment screens vs. instrument
  panel displays
• Instrument panel displays containing Hg are
  acceptable
• DVD screens containing Hg are acceptable
  according to WEEE
• DVD screens according to ELV confusion.
• Vulcanising Agents / Stabilisers in elastomers
• Alternatives available have not been validated
  for all applications

4
OEM Concerns / Issues

• Carbon brushes for electric motors
• Alternatives available but lifetime / reliability
  studies are incomplete
• Valve seats
• Validation of current production engines
  incomplete
• Impurity levels versus intentionally added
  amounts
• Disparity between impurity and intentionally
  added amounts
• A maximum concentration of up to 0.1 lead,
  mercury, hexavalent chromium and 0.01 for
  cadmium will be tolerated providing it is not
  intentionally introduced
• Any levels of these metals added in formulations
  are prohibited difficult to assess impact due
  to insufficient knowledge
• Why differentiate?

5
OEM Concerns / Issues

• OEMs have difficulties introducing the ELV
  legislation because of
• Inconsistent interpretations
• Ad-hoc introduction (e.g. not aligned to Type
  Approval)
• Insufficient time for validation
• Conflicts / disparity with other legislation
• Annexe II revisions - responses collated and
  communicated to DG Environment / EU through trade
  associations such as SMMT and ACEA

How do OEMs Demonstrate Compliance?
7
International Material Data System (IMDS)

• The majority of major OEMs subscribe to IMDS,
  including Jaguar Land Rover as part of Ford
  Motor Company
• IMDS facilitates the transfer of basic substance
  data and material data from the raw material
  suppliers right through the supply chain, to the
  OEMs
• Tier 1 suppliers send data to the OEMs for each
  part that they supply.
• Ford Motor Company require all parts to be
  recorded in IMDS, as dictated in the Trustmark
  standard WSS-M9999-A1
• IMDS is a PPAP requirement

8
This is the top-level screen in IMDS
Various tools / options available to help you
search for data, create data sheets, manage data
and view recommendations on how to construct data
and report typical systems and complex components
(e.g. electronics)
9
All sub-components identified for assembly
10
All materials identified for sub-components
Basic substances identified for materials
11
The material classification is required to assist
in calculating the recyclability rate. Therefore
ALL materials are required to be reported.
12
How do we determine ELV Compliance?

• Application codes must be assigned for restricted
  substances by the Tier 1 Supplier
• Data sheets are analysed automatically for their
  quality and for prohibited substance content
• Suppliers contacted automatically if their data
  sheets contain prohibited substance applications.
• Vehicle reports / metrics available internally to
  track status of individual vehicle programmes

13
All data sheets sent to Ford Motor Company
require application codes to be selected for
all ILRS basic substances.
14
Example of application codes available for
lead. User selects from a pre-defined list.
15
Activities / Tools to assist Suppliers with IMDS
inputs

• Publication of universally agreed recommendations
• An OEM agreed list of reportable substances
  (ILRS)
• Incorporation of ILI database for a large number
  of standard materials
• Off-line tools available from EDS to speed up
  input
• IMDS-a2 (Advanced Accelerator)
• Integrated Corporate Material Management System
  (icm2)
• OEM requirements / guidelines published on IMDS
• Ford Requirements found on public pages of IMDS /
  FAQs / OEM specific requirements
• Training available from EDS and MDSMap (in the
  UK)
• Publication of expected part numbers on the Ford
  Supplier Portal

16
Conclusions

• IMDS information is used for
• Determining compliance to the substance
  restrictions of the ELV Directive
• Complying with with the Type Approval
  requirements for recyclability
• Assessing the impact of proposed substance
  prohibitions
• E.g. deca PBDE prohibition proposals for some
  Nordic countries
• U.S and Nordic studies into BFRs
• Complying with JAMA voluntary lead reduction
  programme
• Complying with Non EU substance prohibition
  legislation
• Complying with Non EU recyclability / ASR
  calculations and requirements
• Answering customer queries on allergenic issues
