Any other business (I) • Rejections by FIAT (2% tolerance issue)Information from IMDS responsible person at FIAT (Mrs. Katia Zardo)FIAT reduced their IMDS tolerance to 2%. FIAT is automatically rejecting datasheet, if any assembly or subcomponents has more than 2% deviation (driven by requirements of local authorities)Workaround (proposed by FIAT)Mrs. Zardo offered to manually accept all those datasheets, where the (sub)components exceed 2% tolerance as long as the (sub)components weight is below 100g. Please act as following in such cases:1) submit IMDS datasheet as usual2) next day call Mrs. Zardo and tell her the IMDS ID then she will accept itRemark:* This is an interims solution, until FIAT adapted their systems (timeline??)* It is not necessary to change the "tolerance" field in IMDS to 2% - just the calculated deviation must be <2% No "official" statement from FIAT on this issue (in spite of several request)
Any other business (II) • Experience exchange "Warnings" What are your experiences with the new "checks" in IMDS (https://www.mdsystem.com/html/data/why_more_material_warnings.pdf) If you feel that a specific warnings is not appropriate, please communicate it to SC or helpdesk! • We asked Steering Committee to publish a clarification on how to proceed with warning, including a clear message that a warning does not necessarily mean that a rejection is necessary SC promised (several times) to do so, but did not publish it until today • In discussions with AIAG we learned, that the term "warning" has a very strong meaning in the US(e.g. "Tornado warning") that's for sure one of the reasons for so many rejections on warnings"Warning" has a stronger meaning than "error" in English we proposed to SC to change the word "warning" into "hint", but could not convince them
