PIETER PRETORIUS - CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER - AZOTEQ (PTY) LTD
Hi David, Since this project was Azoteq's first experience in the submission of IMDS
it would have been impossible for us without your knowledge and understanding
of what is required to have achieved success. What impressed me was the fact that
even though we are in different parts of the world, and different time zones we
could successfully complete our submission within time. We really appreciated the
extra effort that was put in by you personally even on weekends to meet the final
deadline. I would recommend IMDS Experts as a one stop IMDS service without
hesitation.
TRESSA RADEN - DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS - COMMERCIAL IMPORTS AND ASSEMBLY
David, The response time and follow up e-mails is what I like best. Once a request
is made the information is put the IMDS system an e-mails sent and the process is
complete within hours of the request being made.
DAVE CRISP - THE REYNOLDS COMPANY
IMDS Experts provides with all of our IMDS with promptness and accuracy. We
could not respond as well if we did it internally.
TERRY ARMSTRONG - QUALITY CO-COORDINATOR - HD BROWN ENTERPRISES
We were quite happy with your companies services. I think we received good value
for the money and the knowledge of what the IMDS submission requirements
where was also very good, even when not being familiar with the product for which
we were submitting. Our project was completed in a timely manner, all information
deadline requests were met, and any questions were answered in a way that could
be understood. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone that
requires help with an IMDS submission, especially if they are not familiar with IMDS
and it's submission requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for IMDS?
You register your company on the official IMDS website, mdsystem.com. You’ll provide your company details and set up an administrator account, which then creates logins for your other users. Once registered, you can create Material Data Sheets (MDS) and send them to your customers. Many suppliers ask an IMDS consultant to handle registration and setup. [contact us to setup an account with IMDS.]
Do I need IMDS training to get started?
IMDS registration doesn’t depend on formal training, but the system has a learning curve. Mistakes in material data are a common cause of rejected submissions, and rejections slow down your customer approvals. Some suppliers train a team member, while others outsource IMDS data entry to an IMDS expert who already knows the rules and can start right away. [Talk to an IMDS expert.]
How do I create and submit an MDS to my customer?
Log in to IMDS and create a new Material Data Sheet. Add each component, its materials, and the substances they contain, linking any MDSs you received from your own suppliers. After checking the data, send it to your customer using their IMDS ID. They will either accept it or reject it with comments. If it’s rejected, correct the issues and resubmit. [contact us for help.]
Can I outsource my IMDS work to an IMDS consulting company?
Many suppliers outsource IMDS work to an IMDS consulting company so their engineering and quality teams can stay focused on their core work. An IMDS expert can check your IMDS registration, create and submit your MDSs, respond to customer requests, and fix rejected submissions. Outsourcing typically saves time and reduces errors. You can outsource all of it or just the parts you need. [Explore our IMDS outsourcing services.]
How much do IMDS services cost?
The cost depends on the scope of the work: how many parts or MDSs you need, how complex they are, and how much material data you already have from your suppliers. Some projects are one-off submissions, while others are ongoing support. The simplest way to get an accurate figure is to share your requirements and request a quote, and we’ll confirm the scope and pricing before any work starts.
What information do I need to create an MDS?
You need a breakdown of the part: its components, the material used for each one, and the weight of every component. For each material, you need its composition, meaning the substances it contains and their percentages. You also need the MDS or supplier data for any purchased components, and your customer’s IMDS ID so you can send the MDS to them. [Talk to an IMDS expert.]

Why was my IMDS submission rejected, and how do I fix it?
Customers reject an MDS when something in it doesn’t meet their requirements. Common causes include incomplete or inconsistent weights and compositions, missing substance data, incorrect material classification, or customer-specific rules not being followed. Start with the rejection comment, which usually explains the problem. Correct the data and resubmit. If the reason isn’t clear, an IMDS expert can review and fix it. [Get help with rejected IMDS submissions/contact us.]
How long does it take to create and submit an MDS?
It depends on how complex the part is and how much material data you already have. A simple part with complete supplier data can be created and submitted quickly. Parts with many components, or missing composition data from your own suppliers, take longer. Customer review time and any rejections also affect when you get approval. Share your part details, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline
