1 Scope of application
This standard defines the requirements with regard to prohibited, declarable and restricted substances along the entire
supply chain and for all purchased products (chemicals, mixtures, products, packaging, packaging
materials and raw materials) which are delivered to Schaeffler and all its companies and brands worldwide.
Laboratory chemicals and other products not directly related with saleable Schaeffler products or with their transport,
storage, production or development (e.g. building cleaners, office supplies) are excluded from this standard.
Compliance with this standard does not release the supplier from the responsibilities given in further applicable legislationand specifications.
2 Vocabulary and abbreviations
Purchased product: All purchased products within the scope of application of this standard; such as chemicals, mixtures,products, packaging, packaging materials, traded goods and raw materials.
Substance: Chemical element and its compounds; ingredient, substance
PFAS: PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are aliphatic organic substances in which the hydrogen atoms on the
carbon chain have been completely replaced by fluorine atoms on at least one carbon atom.
BAFF: Application/release form for indirect substances.
Substances with an expiration date: The legal basis listed in Annex A "List of legal and regulatory requirements", but not
exclusively applicable, may contain in annexes or also in the main text lists of chemical substances that are restricted to be
used after a defined date (e. g. substances with sunset date, expiring substances).
SCIP database: SCIP is the database for information on Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects(Products) established under the Waste Framework Directive (WFD).
Mixture: Chemical product composed of two or more substances (e.g. lubricants, anti-corrosion agents, electroplatingchemicals, cleaners).
Product (definition as per REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, article 3): Object which is given a specific form, surface or
shape by manufacturing which determines its function to a greater extent than its chemical composition.
Packaging and packaging materials: A material intended for wrapping products for the purpose of protecting the products,
protecting the environment, of transport and/or storage (e.g. canisters, cardboard, cases, bottles, containers, pallets, blister,
plastic bags and film).
Homogeneous material (according to RoHS directive on restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electricaland electronic equipment or GADSL, guidance document ‘Global Automotive Declarable Substance List): Material thatcannot be separated mechanically into individual components. Mechanical separation means physical separation by meansof cutting, turning on a lathe, grinding, rubbing off; examples include polymer, metal, metal alloy, coating, lubricant,soldering agent.
3 Prohibited and declarable substances
Prohibited substances (chemical elements and their compounds) in terms of this standard are marked in the associated Listof Substances (Appendix A of this standard) with a “P” (Prohibited). They must not be contained in purchased products
delivered to Schaeffler in concentrations above the threshold specified, nor be formed or released in such concentrations bysubsequent processing. Exceptional approval of prohibited substances can be agreed on a case-to-case basis, provided thatno practicable alternative is available (e.g. methanol used for hardening).
Exceptions must be agreed in writing. No special format is provided for this. For example, the documentation of an email orin the BAFF application is enough.
Prohibited substances are subject to a threshold of 0,1 % (w/w) in homogeneous material unless a different value isspecified.
Prohibited substances in concentrations below 0,1 % or the specified threshold must be declared.
Very small quantities of prohibited or declarable substances that are present as impurities and are not intentionally added
do not have to be declared (<< 0.1 % or << threshold).
Substances marked in the List of substances of this standard with a “D” (Declarable) must be declared according to thespecifications of this standard if their concentration is above the limit value. The threshold of declarable substances is 0,1 %(w/w) in homogeneous material unless a different value is specified.
Prohibited and declarable substances are listed in the List of substances provided in Appendix A of this standard. The
declaration format to be used in each individual case, and the procedure for handling the associated declaration ofconformity, is described in the following sections.
All PFAS substances must be declared (see Appendix A, list of substances, item 2).
All substances which are declared in a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), must also be declared in the Schaeffler Format of
the conformity declaration.
S 132030-1: 2023-01-11

Page 2

Application-specific prohibition and declaration constraints (e.g. for medical products and hygiene products) shall beconsidered as early as the product development phase. Where a special application has been agreed for a product or a
mixture, suitable materials and components shall be chosen as early as the product development phase.
Planned modifications of products and components, and of their materials and formulations, must be agreed at an earlystage with the corresponding Schaeffler contact (e.g. local purchasing, substance group coordinator, application engineeringor product development).
This does not replace the change authorization for changes.
Note that for packaging and packaging material of all sorts, declarable (D) and prohibited (P) substances must be
documented in Schaeffler format.
In general, no prohibited substances may be used for packaging materials and packaging.
Substances that must be declared must also be avoided.
Exceptions must be documented in writing.
Packaging of supplied purchased products (chemicals, mixtures, products, packaging, packaging materials and raw materials)
must be able to be disposed of in the country of delivery without violating existing laws or returned to the supplier after
consultation.

Supplier information sheet for Standard S132030-1

Supplier information
The Excel template "Supplier information sheet" is provided in the first sheet of Appendix A to this standard. The supplierinformation can be transmitted either for individual purchased Schaeffler products or, if declaration requirements are
identical (e.g. in the case of identical or comparable materials regarding the composition), for multiple products, series,
product families or for the complete Schaeffler delivery scope.
The proof of supplier consists of sections basic information, declaration of conformity, list of legal and official requirements,
list of purchased parts and declaration in Schaeffler format.
General queries can be addressed to the respective local purchasing department and technical queries regarding theS132030-1 standard to Material Compliance: MaterialCompliance@schaeffler.com
The supplier must inform Schaeffler (responsible Purchasing and Material Compliance:
MaterialCompliance@schaeffler.com) if his delivered purchased products (chemicals, mixtures, articles, packaging,packaging materials and raw materials)
a)contain prohibited and/or declarable substances.
b)
contain prohibited substances below the threshold (declarable!).
c)contain SVHC substances (substance of very high concern).
d)contain substances with an expiration date.
The information must be communicated to Schaeffler immediately or at the latest 2 months after publication of new
substances (with the properties a) - d)) in the form of a conformity declaration (Annex A) and, if applicable, an IMDS entry.
List of purchased products
If the supplier information is intended to apply for multiple products with identical declaration requirements, the relevant
products must be listed, in addition to this template, in the sheet "List of purchased products" contained in the same Excel
document. If the information is expected to apply for the complete delivery scope, it is sufficient to enter a note that the
supplier information applies for all products delivered by the company concerned to Schaeffler as a whole or to a specific
Schaeffler unit.
To simplify the completion and evaluation of the supplier information (list of legal and official requirements and, where
relevant, the list of purchased products), sheets should be completed directly in the electronic Excel template. Because of
the large number of its suppliers, Schaeffler must rely on an automatic evaluation therefore the filled in, signed and scanned
supplier's conformity declaration must always be returned to Schaeffler as a pdf document together with the completed listof legal and official requirements. In addition, the completed Excel document should also be returned.
Supplier information can only be accepted if at least the "Basic information" and "Declaration of conformity" zones in the
Excel template are completed fully and correctly, and if the document is duly signed.
a.) Basic information
The basic information zone of the supplier information shall be entered with information about the supplier and a purchased
product. If the supplier information is intended to apply to more than one purchased product, a note referring to thecompleted list of purchased products is sufficient or the reference to the entire scope of delivery.

S 132030-1: 2023-01-11

Page 3b.) Declaration of Conformity
In the Declaration of Conformity, at first, the category of the purchased Schaeffler product must be selected. If applicable
the category must be agreed with the Schaeffler contact (e.g. local purchasing, substance group coordinator, applicationengineering or product development.
All lines relevant for the product (depending on usage at Schaeffler) must be filled or the answers must be selected from thepre-defined drop-down list.
c.) List of purchased products
If the supplier information is intended to apply to multiple products due to identical declaration requirements, the relevant
products must be listed in addition to this template in the "List of purchased products" sheet contained in the same Excel
document. If the information is expected to apply to the complete delivery scope, it is sufficient to enter a note that the
supplier information applies to all products delivered by the respective company to Schaeffler or to a specific Schaeffler unit.
d.) List of legal and official requirements
For purchased products, Schaeffler also requires current information about compliance with other legal and official
requirements to ensure that Schaeffler products can be sold in certain countries and regions. In this context, the "List oflegal and official requirements" tab sheet can be found in Appendix A. This list should be filled completely to the best of ourknowledge (knowledge of the supplier). For local applications it must be ensured that at least the relevant local laws areobserved. The more legal requirements are met, the greater the range of applications at Schaeffer. In the best case, theproduct can be used worldwide. It is possible that for various reasons not all requirements apply to the purchased product(countries, regions, application, market) or that the supplier is not aware of individual legal requirements, then either select"no" in the "Applicable" column or tick the "Not known" box. All fields in the "Applicable" column must be filled with yes orno!
e.) Declaration in Schaeffler format
This table serves for the declaration of substances contained in materials, see also section 5, declaration of substances.
5 Declaration of substances
Declarable or prohibited substances contained in the relevant purchased products must be declared. The minimum
information to be entered is the name of the substance, its CAS number and the concentration in the homogeneous material(unless otherwise required). Regardless of the declaration format, declarations shall be submitted at the time stated in
Schaeffler standard S 296001-2 “Quality Assurance Agreement with Production Material Suppliers”.
The REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 includes a duty to provide information about substances of very high concern
which are listed in the so-called SVHC candidate list. Schaeffler suppliers are obliged to inform immediately by means of an
updated supplier information and, if necessary, an updated IMDS entry as soon as they have more current information thanthat already reported to Schaeffler about substances of the SVHC candidate list which are contained in concentrations above
0,1% (w/w) in materials supplied by them. If no information about substances in the supplied materials is submitted within
45 days after an update of the SVHC candidate list, it will be assumed that none of the relevant substances are contained ina concentration of more than 0,1% (w/w).
When the obligation to declare SVHCs in the SCIP database under the Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC)
comes into force, this information must be provided in an appropriate manner.
IMDS – International Material Data System of the automotive industry
An entry in the IMDS - the International Material Data System (link: www.mdsystem.com) - is mandatory for the declarationof substances contained in products and their materials purchased by Schaeffler for use in the automotive industry, as well
as for polymer products. The IMDS ID number stated in the supplier information for the product concerned must be enteredunder basic information. If the supplier information is intended to apply for more than one product, a note referring to theassociated list of purchased products is sufficient. In this case, the IMDS ID numbers are entered in the appropriate columnof that list.
The IMDS data must be compliant with the IMDS rules applicable at the moment of its creation. Moreover, the Schaeffler
requirements for IMDS entries stated in Appendix B of this standard, the "IMDS Guideline", must be respected.
A declaration in the form of a data sheet in the IMDS does not constitute an exceptional approval of otherwise prohibited
substances. If a substance is to be declared in the IMDS that is not yet selectable in the IMDS menu, the addition of thissubstance can be requested using the "Basic Substance Request" function in the IMDS main menu.

Appendix B - IMDS (International Material Data System of the automotive industry) Guideline for Suppliers
1. Purpose:
This document is a guideline to ensure the data quality in the IMDS and describes the requirements for IMDS material data
sheets (hereinafter called MDS) submitted to Schaeffler by suppliers of the Schaeffler Group. For any questions related IMDS
reporting please feel free to contact our specialists at IMDS@schaeffler.com.
2. Scope of application:
All Schaeffler suppliers required to submit IMDS data according to the specifications of S132030-1, must comply with therequirements given therein. Current IMDS data must be provided and its status must be accepted for all initial series sample
inspections. Suppliers must ensure that the IMDS data are provided unsolicited and in a timely manner and as well consideringother situations which should trigger IMDS updates: i.e. product/material change, legal requirements updates etc.- as
described in IMDS General Rules and Guidelines - 3.2.1 Basic Rules concerning MDS Revisions.
Depending on the final customer and legal relevance (type approval), IMDS data are needed for prototypes, i. e. components
in the development phase, or in the phases preceding the production start.
Here again, suppliers must ensure, after receipt of the Schaeffler order, that these data are provided in good time and in
conformity with the applicable IMDS guidelines and customer requirements.
3. Rules:All MDSs for parts purchased by Schaeffler must be sent to the IMDS Org-ID 282.
The remarks below on creation of MDSs are based on the currently valid IMDS recommendations and on the specificrequirements of the automotive industry. In addition to this guideline, all applicable recommendations and customer
requirements must be strictly respected and implemented.
The currently valid recommendations can be viewed, after accessing the IMDS-system, in the "Help" menu under"Recommendations". Special requirements of the automotive industry and further information on the IMDS can be found on
the public pages under the menu item “FAQ”.
3.1 Selection of material modules:
In principle, materials shall be reported in the MDS in their final condition. Material compounds reacting with each other orintermediate reaction products must not be reported.
As a matter of priority, the declaration requirements according to GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List:
gadsl.org) must be complied with.
For standard materials, the material modules of the IMDS Steering Committee published according to
IMDS Rec. 001 must be used. Exceptions are only possible if declaration requirements cannot be met by these modules. In
this case, a note to this effect must be entered in the field “Remarks” in the material module.
3.2 Language:
The mandatory system language is English. Additional entries in German language are optionally possible. Entries in otherlanguages cannot be accepted.
3.3 Specific requirements:
The main purpose of the requirements listed in this section is to ensure that the data sheets must be unambiguously correlated
to a product that the requirements of Rec. 001 regarding the description of components are complied with and that Schaeffler
fulfills its OEM-specific requirements.

S 132030-1: 2023-01-11

Page 23

3.3.1 Application code
Some substances require an application code (e.g. Pb, Ni). If a material module shows the tab “Application”, the suppliermust assign the correct application code for this substance.
3.3.2 Polymeric Parts Marking
The question on polymeric parts marking of the material (where applicable) must be answered and the answer should be inaccordance with ISO 1043-1/2, ISO 11469 or ISO 18064.
3.3.3 Recyclate Information
Recyclate information must be entered for materials with classification 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.1 and 7.2 which are referenced in a semicomponent or component.
3.3.4 "Company data"
The following fields have to be completed:“Part/Item No.”, “Description”, “Drawing No.”, “Drawing date”, “Supplier Code”.
Completion of the other fields is optional.
Part/item number
The Schaeffler part number has 13 digits, with the last four digits separated by a “-”:
Example: 054174171-0000
Component / sub-components description
The description of the component must be unambiguous and correspond to the most current
Schaeffler drawing.
The use of supplier specific data, such as internal numbers, are not permitted.
The description must be entered in English.
If the required term is not contained in the translation table, the contact persons named above will
provide assistance.
Example: Sprocket / Kettenrad
Drawing number
The Schaeffler drawing number is brand-specific. This information can be found in the “Document”
field of the drawing.
Example: F-348096.01.KRAD; L-03131-0E96-01
Version / Date
The relevant date is the drawing date which is the basis for series production sampling.
Example: 5/10/2022

S 132030-1: 2023-01-11

Page 24

Supplier no.
The number to be entered here is the specific supplier number assigned by Schaeffler. The supplier
number has a 10-digit format. If necessary, the leading digits are filled with zeros. The supplier
number can be found, for example, in the purchase order. Please do not use the DUNS number.
Example: 0000012345
Examples of drawing title blocks are shown below. The IMDS-relevant information is highlighted:

3.4 IMDS ID:
The IMDS ID numbers are assigned according to the rules of the IMDS Rec. 001, Section 3.2.2. 001,
Section 3.2.2.
An MDS with a new IMDS ID must be created for each component with a new component number.
Where a correction of an existing MDS is to be created, e.g. after an MDS has been rejected or theindex of the drawing number has changed, the MDS must be created as a new version of the existing IMDS ID number.
MDSs whose ID numbers are not assigned in the correct way will not be accepted.

3.5 Revisions:
Revisions of MDSs can be necessary for various reasons:a) Legally stipulated declaration requirements (e.g. REACH SVHC substances) or GADSL have to be updated.
Schaeffler suppliers are expected to meet these declaration requirements promptly and without being
requested, because Schaeffler must fulfill information obligations towards the customer also.
b) Rejections or other requests by Schaeffler.
Data sheets rejected by Schaeffler must be corrected directly on the basis of the reason for rejection.
Schaeffler can request update due to formal changes or new IMDS rules (e.g. drawing change level)c) Product changes
The addition of any new material(s)/substance(s) or the elimination of any already reported material(s) / substance(s)contained in a part requires the revision and resubmission of the corresponding MDS, without being requested.
3.6 Rejections:
In case of rejection of a material data sheet, a detailed reason for the rejection is provided.
4 Additional:
Basic questions on the use of the IMDS recommendations can be clarified with the IMDS-helpdesk. If
you still have any questions, please contact the persons in charge. Contact information can be foundbelow the reason for rejection, or in email received. Data revisions must be done as quickly as
possible, and take into account all reasons for rejection.
