The Volvo Group works actively to eliminate harmful substances from the products. In order to track and follow up on substances of concern, the supplier shall submit a Material Data Sheet (MDS) consisting of a declaration of all included materials and substances, and their weight. The requirement applies for all parts and materials delivered to the Volvo Group, regardless of design date or application of the part, including spare parts, customer adaptation, etc.
The MDS shall be submitted to the Volvo Group via IMDS, or IMDS or CDX for Volvo CE.
The MDS reporting is important for Volvo in order to secure compliance with the European REACH regulation, European Waste Framework Directive and registration to the SCIP database as well as other product- and chemical legislations worldwide.
