Registration is still open for the 2023 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference October 17-18 at Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan. Regular registration pricing ends Oct. 10, with late registration beginning Oct. 11. Less than one month away, this always-popular hybrid event will cover global legislative issues, IMDS topics, and sustainability, including product carbon footprint (PCF) reporting.
Extended to two full days to make room for focus on sustainability issues, the theme is Transitioning IMDS from Materials Compliance to the Circular Economy.
Along with sustainability-specific topics, presentations will explore LCAs, updates to the battery legislation and Digital Products Passport, TSCA, responsible sourcing, recyclate, and PFAS, along with numerous IMDS updates, including what’s new in version 14.0, 14.1, and what's coming next in version 15.0.
We'll hear from various suppliers and those in the heavy equipment industry, and the IMDS Steering Committee will provide updates on ELV and REACH, as well as details on the new IMDS data structure.
Product Carbon Footprint Reporting
Starting this year, the AIAG IMDS & Product Compliance Conference will include sustainability topics such as product carbon footprint in preparation for Part & Material Level Emission reporting — a new 2024 IMDS Reporting Requirement! This is one of the most fundamental changes made to the IMDS system in many years. It is imperative that suppliers understand their responsibilities to comply with this new reporting requirement.
Along with PCF-specific content — e.g., why PCF tracking is so important and the specifics of its inclusion in IMDS — our 2023 event will explore a wide range of issues, including REACH, ELV, and ECHA updates, CLEPA and JAPIA activities, responsible materials/sourcing, and much more.
