IATF 16949 & IMDS Compliance Matrix

(Integrated Quality, Material Reporting & Sustainability Controls)

IATF 16949 Clause	Key Requirement	IMDS Integration	Activity	Data Tracked	Monitoring Method	Documentation	Example 2024 Data
4.4.1.1 (IMDS)	Material Composition Reporting	- IMDS submissions per part	- Collect/material declarations	- % parts with valid IMDS IDs	- IMDS software audits	IMDS Submission Log	100% parts reported (Q1)
8.3.2.1	Design Risk Analysis	- Restricted substance screening	- DFMEA with IMDS checks	- # of RoHS/REACH exemptions	- PLM system flags	Design Compliance Report	0 violations (2024)
8.4.2.3	Supplier Material Compliance	- IMDS data from suppliers	- Supplier IMDS validation audits	- % suppliers IMDS-compliant	- Automated scorecards	Supplier IMDS Tracker	98% compliance
8.5.1.1	Production Traceability	- IMDS-linked batch records	- Scan IMDS IDs at receiving/production	- Traceability events/day	- MES system logs	Traceability Logs	100% batches tracked
8.7.1.6	Non-Conforming Material Control	- IMDS-blocked material quarantine	- Auto-alerts for non-compliant materials	- # IMDS-related NCs	- QMS auto-flags	NC Material Log	3 quarantined (Q1)
9.1.1.1	Material Performance Monitoring	- IMDS vs. actual composition audits	- Lab tests vs. declared data	- % material deviations	- Spectrometry/XRF reports	Material Test Reports	0.2% deviation rate
10.2.1	Corrective Actions for IMDS	- Root cause analysis	- CAPA for IMDS discrepancies	- Days to close IMDS CAPAs	- 8D reports in QMS	IMDS CAPA Register	Avg. 5 days resolution
Annex B (CSR)	Conflict Minerals Reporting	- IMDS + CMRT integration	- Smelter validation per Dodd-Frank	- % 3TG minerals traced	- Third-party audits	CMRT Reports	100% smelters verified

Critical Data Sheets for Compliance

1. IMDS Master List – All parts with IMDS IDs, submission dates, revisions

2. Restricted Substance Database – RoHS/REACH/ELV thresholds with IMDS cross-references

3. Supplier IMDS Compliance Certificates – Signed declarations + audit reports

4. Material Test Records – Lab reports (XRF, ICP-MS) vs. IMDS declarations

5. IATF 16949 Audit Checklists – Clause-by-clause compliance with IMDS evidence

Key Performance Indicators

KPI	IATF Link	Target	2024 Performance
IMDS submission completeness	Clause 4.4.1.1	100%	100% (Q1)
IMDS-to-production traceability	Clause 8.5.1.1	100%	100%
IMDS-related CAPA closure time	Clause 10.2.1	≤7 days	5 days avg.
Supplier IMDS compliance rate	Clause 8.4.2.3	≥95%	98%

Automation & Tools

• IMDS Software: Auto-validate compositions against REACH/RoHS (e.g., IMDS Professional)

• PLM Integration: CAD/design files linked to IMDS IDs (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter)

• QMS Alerts: Non-compliant materials blocked in ERP (e.g., SAP S/4HANA)

Example Compliance Proofs

• IMDS ID: IMDS-2024-XXXXX (logged in BOM Tracker)

• Conflict Minerals: CMRT-2024-YYYYY (verified via RMI Audit)

• Material Test: XRF Report #12345 (0ppm Cd/Pb, Lab Files)

Audit Tip: Use filtered views in IMDS software to show only IATF-relevant materials during audits.

This matrix ensures full traceability from IATF 16949 clauses to IMDS data sheets, supporting certification and customer PPAP submissions. Let me know if you need additional columns (e.g., customer-specific requirements like VDA 6.3).
