About the Isuzu IMDS Instruction Manual Purpose: In order to
understand the environmental impact of products, Isuzu collects
material and chemical substance information on it by IMDS. For this
information, Isuzu will make requests to suppliers to send the
required Material Datasheet (MDS) into IMDS. This manual explains
how to create and send an appropriate MDS. About this revision: It
has been six years since IMDS was introduced to Isuzu. Suppliers
had some unclear points in how to create MDS at first, however are
used to create and send MDS now. And almost all the entry of
information peculiar to Isuzu at that time has become mandatory in
IMDS. The revision at this time places an emphasis on the manner of
operating the IMDS rather than on the method of creating individual
MDS. The name was also changed from previous “Isuzu IMDS
Instructions” to “Isuzu IMDS Instruction Manual.” 1. Outline from
Request to Completion of Acceptance There are several steps taken
in order to get complete MDS acceptance. Fig. 1 shows the process
flow from receiving a request for MDS to completing MDS acceptance
at Isuzu.
Fig.-1 Process Flow from request to completion of acceptance
1.1 IMDS Process Flow overview Isuzu will make a request to
create and send MDS using one of the following methods in
Table-1.
Table-1 How a request is made for sending MDS
Upon receiving a request, the supplier should create MDS and
send it at the appropriate time. For creating MDS and sending MDS
please read Section 2, 3, and 5 of this manual.
When MDS is received, Isuzu will check and judge whether it is
“accepted” or “rejected”. Each time an MDS is checked, the supplier
will receive an e-mail notification of the result. For any MDS that
is “rejected”, Isuzu will clearly state what should be corrected
and how to correct it in our result notification e-mail. Please
make necessary corrections by referring to this notification.

2. Basic Points Common to Creating and Sending of MDS 2.1 Part
Number, Description, Supplier Code, Datasheet Type, and Data
Acceptance Completion
Time Limit When MDS was requested from Isuzu, suppliers should
create using part number, description, supplier code, and datasheet
type as specified and to send it in advance so that it will be
accepted before acceptance completion time limit as specified. In
case these items are not specified, suppliers should create and
send MDS according to Table-2 and Table-3.
Table-2 Part number, description, supplier code, datasheet type
and data acceptance time limit
Table-3 Selection of data sheet type
2.2 IMDS Recommendations The MDS to be sent to Isuzu should be
created according to the latest IMDS recommendation in principle.
The IMDS Recommendations are displayed by clicking “Recommendation”
on the left side in the main menu after login on the IMDS.
2.3 Module ID
2.3.1 How to use module ID A module ID must be used only for one
part number. If the suffix is changed due to design change, etc.,
please change module ID to new one, do not use the module ID used
before the change. MDS are managed by module ID at Isuzu. If the
same module ID is applied to MDS with different part numbers, it
causes confusion in managing MDS. This rule should be strictly
observed.
2.3.2 Module ID for correction data When correcting MDS, a new
version must be created with the same module ID as a rule.
Form of a part delivered to Isuzu Motors Datasheet type
Complete assembly, Component Component
Casting/Forging blanks, Semi-finished product Semi-Component
Material, Quasi-direct material Material
Item When Isuzu specified usingthe request list How to handle
each item if not specified by Isuzu
Part number Use Isuzu’s part number by part. (Drawing number
unacceptable)
Description Use Isuzu’s part name written on the drawing. *See
Note
Supplier code Use the supplier code of the supplier delivering
the relevant part or material toIsuzu.Example: Tier 2 supplier
needs to input Tier 1 supplier code.
Datasheet type Select datasheet type from Table-3.
Data acceptancecompletion time
limits
For a drawing with the statement “The restricted or
reportablesubstances for parts shall be as specified in
ISC-A00-008Y”, the acceptancecompletion time limit is prior to the
delivery of initial parts in mass production.
*Note: Be sure to enter RH, LH, FT or RR indicating the mounting
position of the relevant part, if written.

2.4 MDS of Parts / Materials Supplied by Isuzu
2.4.1 Creation of MDS using the MDS of parts / materials
supplied by Isuzu If any MDS of an Isuzu-supplied parts or
Isuzu-supplied materials are required for creating your MDS, please
check if you have already received the MDS from Isuzu. If the
received MDS is old or is information required missing, please
contact Isuzu by using the sheet already delivered to suppliers
from the Purchasing Operations Dept. of Isuzu. We will send you the
current MDS Isuzu accepted. Please create your MDS by using it.
2.4.2 Materials supplied by Isuzu If the chemical composition of
an Isuzu-supplied material is defined in public norm or standards
and the material corresponds to those in the published MDS by the
IMDS-Committee, IMDS-Committee / ILI Metals or Stahl und Eisen
Liste, please use the published MDS.
2.5 MDS for Public Standard Materials
If a public standard material corresponds to those in the
published MDS by the IMDS-Committee, IMDS-Committee / ILI Metals,
or Stahl und Eisen Liste, please use the published MDS.
2.6 Creation and Sending of multiple MDS with Similar Component
Information
For multiple MDS, please create, send one representative MDS,
and complete acceptance. Then create and send the remaining MDS by
referring to the accepted MDS. To avoid requiring the same
correction for multiple MDS, please do not send all data at one
time. This also delays completion of acceptance.
2.7 Contact Person
Isuzu inquire the Contact Person in supplier data about the
contents of MDS. The client manager of each supplier should
periodically check if the information of the contact person is
updated with the most recent information.

6. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I cannot create MDS and
complete acceptance within two months after request of sending
data.” A1. IMDS has now become an environment responsive tool in
common used. Most of the suppliers
start collecting MDS of materials and component parts or
equivalent information from the preproduction stage of components
and are always prepared for the sending of MDS for parts and
materials to be delivered to Isuzu. They seldom start collecting
the MDS and the information after receiving request for MDS as in
the past. Please be always prepared to send MDS as a routine
task.
Q2. The sub-tier supplier would not disclose some chemical
substances of a material that compose
the part for confidentiality reasons. A2. Please explain the
following rules to the sub-tier supplier.
1) Entry of all the names of sub-parts and materials forming the
part is mandatory as a rule. 2) It is not necessary to disclose
100% of chemical substances that compose each material. 3) When
making chemical substances undisclosed because of confidentiality,
nondisclosure is
possible within a limitation of 10% for each material. However,
the prohibited substances and the substances to be declared in the
GADSL cannot be made undisclosed. The above are basic rules for
IMDS and are internationally performed in the automobile
industry.
Q3. The person in charge of our IMDS service or the relevant
part that are registered in Isuzu, was
changed. Please tell us how to change contacts such as telephone
number and e-mail address. A3. If the person in charge of the IMDS
data, the relevant part, or your e-mail address was changed,
please notify Isuzu of the change by e-mail, etc. Isuzu will
send the form for entry of the changed contents to you. Please fill
out this form and return it to Isuzu.
Q4. I do not know how to operate IMDS system.
A4. For a question about how to operate the IMDS system, please
