IMDS – International Material Data System 2026

  • IMDS – International Material Data System 2026

    In the automotive sector, automakers are being encouraged to establish a strategic alliance to develop a common Information Technology system to collect data on product materials, called the International Material Data System (IMDS), which will allow manufacturers of every part of the supply chain to enter data on their products. As a hierarchical database, it will enable car manufacturers to collect information at different levels in order to provide reports on the composition of the vehicle itself.
