Automotive Compliance Reporting
Navigate complex industry regulations with confidence.
MEET TODAY’S AUTOMOTIVE COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES
The automotive industry and its suppliers must meet demanding data quality requirements by reporting chemical and substance-level data to keep products compliant and on the market.
- Requirements From Regulatory Authorities
Companies in the automotive industry must meet requirements from governmental entities, often with shifting regulations and aggressive deadlines. These include EU REACH, SCIP, Conflict Minerals and RoHS.
- Requirements From OEMs
Regulatory and quality requirements also come from customers and are sometimes even more demanding than those from regulatory authorities.
- Chemicals Reporting
Regulatory reporting in automotive involves collecting chemical product data, both for what you manufacture and what you obtain from your suppliers. Your access to the market depends on your accurate reporting.

This new version adds new features, deactivates others and offers additional functions such as compatibility with SCIP database compliance reporting. Recommendation 019 use will also be terminated, which will require users who submitted electronics components to re-think their approach to compliance.
These changes can and will impact your future IMDS reporting. Tetra Tech will be creating an IMDS Release 13.0 Certification Training, which will be available online starting March 10, 2021; email us for pre-registration.
