IMDS DQR Code 174

Issue: Application 71 used, part is not a Legacy Spare Part and part contains more than 0.4% Pb

This application code covers three exemptions for lead (Pb) CAS# 7439-92-1 as an alloying element in aluminum alloys.

Application Code Language

Exemption Language including Scope & Expiry Date

2(a),(b),(c)(i) – Alloying element in aluminum for machining purposes

Language: 2(a).  Aluminium for machining purposes with a lead content up to 2 % by weight Scope and Expiry Date: As spare parts for vehicles put on the market before 1 July 2005 —————————————- Language: 2(b).  Aluminium with a lead content up to 1,5 % by weight Scope and Expiry Date: As spare parts for vehicles put on the market before 1 July 2008 —————————————- Language: 2(c)(i).  Aluminium alloys for machining purposes with a lead content up to 0,4 % by weight

NOTE:  Some IMDS Steering Committee published aluminum alloy materials do not conform to current ELV Annex II exemptions regarding Pb in aluminum alloys.  For example published MDS 79468908 / 3 contains 0.2 to 0.6% Pb.  If your part is a new part, this material could not be used becaus it exceeds the 0.4%of Pb allowed under 2(c).  While Committee published materials are normally considered acceptable on their face, this is not the case with aluminum alloys.  

Action Required:

Application Code 71 can only be used for new parts if the material in question contains 0.4% or less of Pb.  Your alloy contains more than 0.4% Pb, contact your customer to discuss a solution to this issue.

If this part is a Legacy Spare Part, check the Legacy Spare Part checkbox on the Recipient Data tab and resubmit the part.  You may need to select a different application code as 71 applies only to Legacy Spare Parts that contain no more than 2% Pb for exemption 2(a) or 1.5% Pb for exemption 2(b).

If you incorrectly selected Application Code 71, then revise the part as appropriate and resubmit to your customer. If there is no appropriate application code for the use of lead (Pb) in this part, contact your customer to discuss a solution to this issue.
