CDX & IMDS
Compliance Data Exchange & International Data System

DXC develop two systems to collect substances information: IMDS and CDX. 

• IMDS is only for Automotive supply chain and their legislation (REACH, ELV), 

• CDX is for any other companies, and enlarge the scope also to other regulation such as RoHS, Prop 65

Define by company

Check if your product is 
an article

CREATE A MATERIAL-CLASSIFICATION

Add a classification

12
CREATE A MATERIAL-ADD SUBSTANCES

Add substances

Search by CAS No. or name

Click on the material, repeat the 
steps to add more substances

CREATE A COMPONENT

Check for 100% declaration
(allow 10% joker/confidential 
substances)

Check for SCiP Compliance and 
fill in Article Category

Fill in your company part name 
and part number

15
CREATE A COMPONENT

Fill in part weight

The difference between measured weight (real weight manually inserted) and calculated

weight (automatic calculation of weight from the structure) fulfills the following range:
0-0.99g +/- 20%;
1-99g +/- 20%
99-999g +/- 5%;
999-9.99kg +/-2%
9.99kg-99.99kg +/- 1%;
>99.99kg +/- 0.5% limit

CREATE A COMPONENT

This field gives an overview about all ingredients in the tree, which are included 
in the specified regulation (REACH, RoHS, Batteries, Packaging…)‐defined in your 
company administration information or by the client required regulations.  
The regulations are divided by regulations that are in scope of the manufacturer 
and those in scope of recipients.  

In the “Confirmation” section you can state, if your Component/Semicomponent
complies to a regulation (in scope) and if you’ve provided all relevant data.

to add another component by 
Searching from reference searching from reference

18
CREATE A COMPONENT
ATTACHING A COMPONENT-REFERENCE

Fill in the quantity of the 
reference component in the 
component created.

CDX takes the Quantity and multiplies 
by the Measured weight per item to 
calculate a weight for this portion of 
the complete assembly

In this case, 10 x 800g (0.8kg)=8000g, 
measured weight is 10000g, so the 
Deviation is ‐20%

products and company and provide them to their customers at no charge.
Data sheets for own components can also be imported from other formats (IMDS, IPC1752, IPC1754 or IEC62474).
Incorporate Received MDSs - Prices for Material Data Reporting
A CDX MDS license is required if you want to receive and continue processing MDSs from your suppliers. You can
purchase the appropriate license thru the integrated order process.
Each license is valid for 12 months.The number of received data sheets per supplier is not limited.
