The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, widely used and recognized by its acronym ACEA was formerly identified under the French name L’Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobile. As a result of the 1991 merger of BMW, DAF, Daimler-Benz, FIAT, Ford, General Motors Europe, MAN, Porsche, Renault, Rolls Royce, Rover, Saab-Scania, Volkswagen, Volvo car, and AB Volvo, the company was founded.
There is a lot of regulation in the automotive industry in the EU region, making it one of the most complicated and heavily regulated sectors. The automotive industry is governed by more than 150 regulations and 30 directives. It is of vital importance to the EU automotive industry that the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) streamlines and harmonizes regulations with national and international regulations.
A list of regulatory substances has been compiled by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) to improve the IMDS reporting process and support the supply chain. ACEA owned and maintained this regulatory list. As regulations in the automotive industry are frequently updated, the list will be updated accordingly.
A new list has been added to the IMDS called the ACEA regulatory list by the IMDS steering committee. The ACEA regulatory list differs from the GADSL list, a substance that is included in the GADSL list might not be included in the ACEA list. In order to comply with national and international regulations, ACEA provides a substance list to the automotive industry, but does not relieve companies of their legal obligations.
To comply with the environmental standards imposed on automotive manufacturers in the EU region, they make their best effort to achieve all of them. By adding this regulatory list to a centralized portal like IMDS, OEMs and their suppliers will have an easier time achieving compliance.
