End Life Vehicle Directive; 2000/53/ECDemonstrating Compliance through IMDS.

Matthew Griffin – Jaguar & Land Rover Materials Engineering

June 2004


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

Introduction


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

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?



OEM’s 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?


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

International Material Data System(IMDS)


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)


All sub-components identified for assembly


All materials identified for sub-components

Basic substances identified for materials

For all OEMs using IMDS – ALL SUBSTANCES IDENTIFIED ON THE

INTERNATIONAL LIST OF REPORTABLE SUBSTANCES (ILRS)

MUST BE DECLARED


The material classification is required to assist in calculating the recyclability rate.

Therefore ALL materials are required to be reported.


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

How do we determine ELV Compliance?


All data sheets sent to Ford Motor Company require “application codes” to be selected for all ILRS basic substances.


Example of application codes available for lead.

User selects from a pre-defined list.


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 / FAQ’s / OEM specific requirements

Training available from EDS and MDSMap (in the UK)

Publication of expected part numbers on the Ford Supplier Portal

Activities / Tools to assist Suppliers with IMDS inputs


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 BFR’s

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
