IMDS - the International Material Data System, is a product of HP Enterprise Services, a division of Hewlett-Packard Co. The base of the system are the black and gray lists of prohibited and declarable substances. These substances, when used in materials and components for the automotive industry, are of concern to human health, environmental safety and recycling. Prohibited substances, like hexavalent chromium, are forbidden due to legal or internal regulations. Declarable substances should not be construed to mean that the substance is prohibited from being used in a vehicle part, or is to be de-selected from use. Until now, most OEMs had their own list of prohibited and declarable substances.
