PennEngineering®
is a registered user of the International Material Data System (IMDS).
The IMDS archives and maintains information on materials that are used
to manufacture vehicles. This materials database will facilitate the
recycling of old vehicles in the future. In addition, the IMDS is used
to demonstrate vehicle compliance to End-of-Life
(ELV) Directive (2000/53/EC). The IMDS is a joint effort between
the world's leading vehicle manufacturers. For a listing of these companies
and more information on the IMDS, go too www.mdsystem.com.
