Matthew Griffin – Jaguar & Land Rover Materials Engineering
June 2004

2. Introduction ELV Directive became effective 1/7/03
3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
Introduction
ELV Directive became effective 1/7/03
This Directive severely restricts the use of Pb, Hg, Cd and Cr6+
Annexe II provides a list of exemptions
Interpretations confusing (differ from State to State)
Issues in receiving information from Suppliers
Requirements for Whole Vehicle Recyclability
85% Re-use and energy recovery in 2006
95% Re-use and energy recovery in 2015
Confidential

3. OEM Concerns / Issues Spare Parts ELV versus WEEE discrepancies
3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
OEM Concerns / Issues
Spare Parts
Taking some Member State interpretations, we will not be able to sell spare parts for some applications, from July 2003.
ELV versus WEEE discrepancies
Hg in DVD / entertainment screens vs. instrument panel displays
Instrument panel displays containing Hg are acceptable
DVD screens containing Hg are acceptable according to WEEE
DVD screens according to ELV – confusion.
Vulcanising Agents / Stabilisers in elastomers
Alternatives available have not been validated for all applications
Vulcanising agents – Current PbO2 – excellent high temp / pressure / water resistance.
Alternatives:
Butyl Rubbers – Sulphur / ZnO systems
-Phenolic / SnCl2 systems
Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene Rubbers (CSM) – MxO (most commonly Mg)
- peroxide / acid acceptor – excellent heat ageing
ECO – Triazine curing systems
Confidential

4. OEM Concerns / Issues Carbon brushes for electric motors Valve seats
3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
OEM Concerns / Issues
Carbon brushes for electric motors
Alternatives available but lifetime / reliability studies are incomplete
Valve seats
Validation of current production engines incomplete
Impurity levels versus intentionally added amounts
Disparity between impurity and intentionally added amounts
A maximum concentration of up to 0.1% lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium and 0.01% for cadmium will be tolerated providing it is not intentionally introduced
Any levels of these metals added in formulations are prohibited – difficult to assess impact due to insufficient knowledge
Why differentiate?
Vulcanising agents – Current PbO2 – excellent high temp / pressure / water resistance.
Alternatives:
Butyl Rubbers – Sulphur / ZnO systems
-Phenolic / SnCl2 systems
Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene Rubbers (CSM) – MxO (most commonly Mg)
- peroxide / acid acceptor – excellent heat ageing
ECO – Triazine curing systems
Confidential

5. 3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
OEM Concerns / Issues
OEM’s have difficulties introducing the ELV legislation because of:
Inconsistent interpretations
Ad-hoc introduction (e.g. not aligned to Type Approval)
Insufficient time for validation
Conflicts / disparity with other legislation
Annexe II revisions - responses collated and communicated to DG Environment / EU through trade associations such as SMMT and ACEA
Vulcanising agents – Current PbO2 – excellent high temp / pressure / water resistance.
Alternatives:
Butyl Rubbers – Sulphur / ZnO systems
-Phenolic / SnCl2 systems
Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene Rubbers (CSM) – MxO (most commonly Mg)
- peroxide / acid acceptor – excellent heat ageing
ECO – Triazine curing systems

7. International Material Data System (IMDS)
3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
International Material Data System
(IMDS)
The majority of major OEMs subscribe to IMDS, including Jaguar & Land Rover as part of Ford Motor Company
IMDS facilitates the transfer of basic substance data and material data from the raw material suppliers right through the supply chain, to the OEMs
Tier 1 suppliers send data to the OEMs for each part that they supply.
Ford Motor Company require all parts to be recorded in IMDS, as dictated in the Trustmark standard WSS-M9999-A1
IMDS is a PPAP requirement

10. 3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
For all OEMs using IMDS – ALL SUBSTANCES IDENTIFIED ON THE INTERNATIONAL LIST OF REPORTABLE SUBSTANCES (ILRS) MUST BE DECLARED
All materials identified for sub-components
Basic substances identified for materials
Confidential

11. 3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
The material classification is required to assist in calculating the recyclability rate.
Therefore ALL materials are required to be reported.

12. How do we determine ELV Compliance?
3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
How do we determine ELV Compliance?
Application codes must be assigned for restricted substances by the Tier 1 Supplier
Data sheets are analysed automatically for their quality and for prohibited substance content
Suppliers contacted automatically if their data sheets contain prohibited substance applications.
Vehicle reports / metrics available internally to track status of individual vehicle programmes
Confidential

13. 3/31/2017 7:30:31 PM
All data sheets sent to Ford Motor Company require “application codes” to be selected for all ILRS basic substances.

Complying with with the Type Approval requirements for recyclability
Assessing the impact of proposed substance prohibitions
E.g. deca – PBDE prohibition proposals for some Nordic countries
U.S and Nordic studies into BFR’s
Complying with JAMA voluntary lead reduction programme
Complying with Non EU substance prohibition legislation
Complying with Non EU recyclability / ASR calculations and requirements
Answering customer queries on allergenic issues
