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

OEM Concerns / Issues

Carbon brushes for electric motors


Valve seats


Alternatives available but lifetime / reliability studies are incomplete
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 Concerns / Issues


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?

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

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

For all OEMs using IMDS – ALL
SUBSTANCES IDENTIFIED ON THE
INTERNATIONAL LIST OF
REPORTABLE SUBSTANCES (ILRS)
MUST BE DECLARED
All materials identified
for sub-components
Basic substances
identified for materials

The material classification is required to
assist in calculating the recyclability rate.
Therefore ALL materials are required to be
reported.

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
Matthew Griffin, Materials Engineering

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 predefined list.

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 / FAQ’s / OEM specific requirements

Training available from EDS and MDSMap (in the UK)

Publication of expected part numbers on the Ford Supplier Portal

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 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
