1. Purpose
These Instructions and Guidelines outline the general requirements that CTT has
established for suppliers with regards to the International Material Data System (IMDS).
These requirements apply to production parts supplied to CTT by both internal and
external suppliers. These requirements may also apply to service parts if requested by
an end customer.
Unless otherwise specified, the information contained in these Instructions and
Guidelines is relevant for all Material Data Sheets (MDS) submitted to CTT as well as
any MDS created for release to any customer.
These guidelines have been compiled based on the requirements of our customers,
and also follow the recommendations of the IMDS Steering Committee.
In line with CTT customer requirements, CTT has adopted IMDS
Recommendation 001 as the only acceptable structural format within IMDS.
Entries not meeting IMDS Recommendation 001 will be rejected.
These instructions are intended to help suppliers start with IMDS and to be clear on
CTT requirements. These instructions and requirements should not contradict
established IMDS rules and regulations. It is expected that suppliers will pursue
additional IMDS training as appropriate.

2. Background
2.1. The ELV-Directive
In 2000, the European End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELV) 200/53/EC was created
with the goal of preventing waste from vehicles at the end of their useful life and
ensuring that reuse, recycling and other recovery efforts are implemented and
controlled. It is also a mechanism to reduce the overall volume of waste being disposed.
ELV specifically prohibits the use of Cadmium, Mercury and Hexavalent Chrome, and
restricts the use of Lead.
ELV (18 Sept. 2000)

3.1.1.
Confidentiality
CTT will treat all MDS data as confidential within the terms of the Supplier
Confidentiality Agreements. Supplied data is for the sole purpose of meeting customer
IMDS reporting requirements.
3.1.2.
Confidential Substances
Page 6 of 21
3.2. Communication
Where IMDS is a requirement, suppliers will appoint an IMDS contact person. Suppliers
are expected to become self sufficient and competent in the use and application of
IMDS.
When there are sub-tier suppliers, it is the responsibility of the direct suppliers to CTT to
cascade information and requirements to their sub-tier suppliers and ensure that the
sub-tier suppliers comply with these same requirements.
Suppliers may be requested to input to IMDS as part of a new product introduction or
as part of a routine customer requirement for current product.
Where an IMDS requirement is part of a new product introduction program, the IMDS
requirement will be a requirement of the PPAP process.
Submitting data into IMDS does not replace the existing change request process.
Suppliers should send the MDS to CTT using the CTT IMDS Id. # 50009.
If any component MDS does not comply with GADSL requirements (e.g. contains a
prohibited substance or a restricted substance that exceeds the permissible
percentage) the supplier must contact their CTT Purchasing contact immediately.
For general questions on CTT IMDS requirements contact the CTT IMDS coordinator:

Application

Substances that may be formed during the lifetime of the product but are not
present when the product is sold.
Materials that are wiped or washed off the products before they are sold (e.g.
detergents).

Semi-Component this would be selected for those items that require further
processing at CTT i.e. we will change the weight. This typically applies to raw
castings and forgings, and items that require cutting to size, such as wire, PTFE
Tape etc. Semi-Components are identified by a yellow circle.
Material this is selected to add the material to the component. IMDS contains
a library of popular materials. The vast majority of CTT parts should be made
from materials found in this library. Fig. 3 below shows the three recognized
IMDS organizations that publish materials in IMDS for all users. NOTE: many
Page 10 of 21
other suppliers also publish materials that can be selected and used; CTT does
not recommend using these. Materials are identified by two green circles.
Fig. 3: IMDS Committee acceptable search criteria.
Material names must be descriptive of the material and not be trade names.
Material names must be chosen from existing standards e.g. EN, ASTM, ISO etc.
Materials are chemical or compound mixtures i.e. metal alloys, plastics or
ceramics composed of basic substances e.g. brass is a material composed of
the basic substances copper and zinc.
Materials cannot be attached to Materials, but Components can be made up of
multiple Materials, e.g. a screw can be made up from the metal Material and a
preservative coating Material.
100% of the Materials must be identified, e.g. the sum of the basic substances
that make up the material must be 100%.
Process materials (paints, greases, adhesives, etc) and surface treatments
should be entered as Materials. For these types of materials, the composition
must be reported for the cured material as it remains on the vehicle, not the
composition of the material prior to its application (e.g. do not include the solvent
content of paint).
Basic Substance the chemical elements that make up each material.
Materials found within IMDS will already have Basic Substances applied in the
appropriate proportions. It should be a rare event that a supplier has to create a
material from scratch and would mainly apply to those supplying proprietary
materials.

Complete the blank areas in the form with the name of the component as detailed on
the CTT print in the Description field. The CTT part number is entered in the Part/Item
No. field. Finally, the measured weight of the finished component or assembly and the
weight tolerance are entered. Allowable weight tolerances depend on the weight of the
component.

4.9.1.
Part/Item Number
Input the CTT part number for the part/assembly. The part number will be a maximum
of seven numeric digits. Do not include dots, hyphens, spaces, etc. This enables CTT
to use its part numbers as the main search criteria in IMDS. The part number may /
may not be the same as the drawing number.
4.9.2.
Description
Input the CTT component or assembly name as stated on the CTT drawing. If the part
is a semi-finished part or casting, please include that in the description.
If joker substances have been used, include a declaration statement as described in
section 4.7.
4.9.3.
Drawing Number
Input the CTT drawing number. It may / may not be the same as the Cummins part
number. The drawing number is usually stated on the top left corner the CTT drawing.
4.9.4.
Drawing Date
Input the date of release of the current revision of the drawing. This is found in the table
on the top right corner of the CTT drawing.
4.9.5.
Include the current revision level as shown on the top right hand corner of the CTT
drawing. This is found in the table on the top right corner of the CTT drawing. (Note: the
date on the bottom right corner shows the date when the drawing was first created and
this should not be used in the MDS)

Click Search and then select apply. Open the searched MDS. Check that it is accepted
by CTT. (You can see the MDS status by reviewing the recipient field.

Only if the MDS is accepted, click on the pdf file symbol (found above the tabs) and
select point of view = CTT (ie customer name).
