Upcoming IMDS Changes
Due to feedback from the IMDS Community, the IMDS Steering Committee decided to apply small changes to current IMDS rules and behavior.
1. Application Code defaults
If application codes have to be entered, the default is the one with the lowest threshold that is applicable. Since the application codes 1, 2 and 5 were decomposed on December 5th 2018, there have been more than one applicable with the same threshold and the default was always the first of those. This led to incorrect entries.
Therefore, the Steering Committee decided that in such cases the default value should be blank.
2. Convert Error to Warning on deleted substances in Forward MDSs
Deleted substances in referenced MDSs produce a Warning in IMDS and you can still use legacy data. Only if you have a forwarded MDS, this is not a Warning, but an Error.
The IMDS Steering Committee decided, that this Error is changed into a Warning.
3. Convert Error to Warning on ranges of recyclates
Since IMDS Release 12.0 you can only enter a range of maximum 20% for recyclates, if you enter a higher range, you will get an Error. We have received a lot of feedback on this change. To relieve the situation, the IMDS Steering Committee decided to change this Error into a Warning.
Changes 1 and 2 will be released to IMDS on August 21st, 2019.
Change 3 will be released on September 25th, 2019.

IMDS Release 12.0 was rolled out today as previously announced.
02-May-2019
The following file contains a list of substances which will be marked SVHC in IMDS on 17th May 2019. These are currently flagged only as D on GADSL as they belong to the 'Nonylphenol ethoxylates, all members' GADSL group. This is in response to information from ECHA that considers isomeric mixtures of nonylphenol ethoxylates as belonging to the '4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated' REACH Candidate List entry. This is because commercially manufactured nonylphenol ethoxylates are normally substances predominantly consisting of C9 alkyl substituents in position 4 (para-) of the phenol ring. The '4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated' REACH Candidate List entry is included in entry 43 of the REACH Authorisation list and therefore these substance will also be added to the Annex XIV substance group in IMDS.
