Automotive Manufacturing
One Missing IMDS Declaration Blocks Your OEM Shipment. You Have 15,000 Components to Track.
Automotive supply chains span 10+ tiers with 2-year certificate cycles. CBAM requires verified emissions data for every steel and aluminum component. IATF 16949 demands traceable supplier compliance. ISO 21434 and UN R155 require documented TARAs from every cybersecurity-relevant supplier. Your team is chasing IMDS uploads, TARA artifacts, and Cybersecurity Interface Agreements while customers wait for declarations you can’t assemble. Manual compliance processes can’t scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.
CBAM Deadline Approaching
Your EU customers need embedded emissions data on steel and aluminum components. CBAM certificates are required starting January 2026. You have hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with no systematic way to collect carbon data. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.
Your Compliance Person Just Left
The one person who managed IMDS uploads, tracked REACH SVHC declarations, and knew which suppliers had current IATF 16949 certificates just resigned. Institutional knowledge is walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.
OEM Production Line Stopped
A missing material composition declaration triggered a line stoppage at your OEM customer. The supplier’s IMDS entry was incomplete. You lost $500K in expediting costs and damaged the relationship. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.
Board Asking About USMCA Exposure
Executive team wants to understand compliance risk. "Can we prove 75% regional value content? What’s our CBAM exposure? Do all suppliers have valid IATF certifications and ISO 21434 TARAs?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don’t have answers.
Not Another Point Solution. A Platform.
Horizontal Platform vs. Point Solutions
One platform covers IATF 16949, CBAM, USMCA origin, REACH, ELV, ISO 21434 TARA, UN R155, and OEM-specific mandates. Stop buying separate tools for each regulation. Achieve integrated PLM ERP compliance connectivity.
Spreadsheets vs. Point Solutions vs. Certivo

Automotive Compliance Is Broken
Certificate and Declaration Chaos
Before
IATF certificates in supplier portals, IMDS data in the database, REACH declarations in email attachments. Nobody knows what’s current. Material composition data doesn’t match what’s in IMDS. No centralized system of record.
After

- Certificate status by supplier, commodity, and regulation (IATF, REACH, CBAM, ISO 21434)
- 90-day advance expiry alerts with automated renewal campaigns
- Gap analysis showing missing documentation by market (EU, US, USMCA)
- Drill down from vehicle program to component to supplier certificate or TARA artifact

Why Now - Deadlines
January 2026
CBAM Certificates Required
EU customers must have emissions data for imported automotive components. Without verified data, default penalty rates apply—2-3x higher than actual emissions. Multi-tier supply chain transparency required now.
July 2026
USMCA Joint Review
The scheduled USMCA review may increase regional value content thresholds to 85-90%. Programs bid now will be delivered under new requirements. BOM-level compliance intelligence essential for calculations.
November 2026
Euro 7 Type-Approval
New Euro 7 standard phases in with stricter emissions, durability, and cybersecurity requirements. All technical documentation must be updated. Digital product passport enablement preparation begins now.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Certivo handle certificates from suppliers who don’t respond?
CORA achieves 85%+ supplier response rates through automated multi-language outreach via centralized supplier self-service portals and smart follow-up sequences. For non-responsive suppliers, we flag the compliance risk in supplier risk scoring ecosystems, suggest alternative data sources, and help you make informed decisions about supplier qualification.
Can Certivo calculate regional value content for USMCA?
Yes. Certivo collects country of origin data from suppliers, applies AI-powered origin determination when data is incomplete, and calculates regional value content against 75%, 85%, and proposed thresholds. BOM-level compliance intelligence provides complete component-to-product traceability. You get OEM-ready origin certifications backed by supplier evidence.
How do you handle multi-year vehicle programs?
Certivo is built for long program lifecycles with continuous audit-ready documentation. We maintain historical compliance records, track certificate renewals across extended timeframes, match alternative suppliers when original sources change, and ensure components specified years ago have current compliance documentation. Supplier risk scoring identifies suppliers at risk of discontinuation.
What CBAM data can you collect from suppliers?
Certivo’s standardized supplier questionnaire frameworks collect embedded emissions factors for steel, aluminum, iron, and other covered materials through centralized supplier self-service portals. We validate supplier responses, flag inconsistencies, and generate CBAM-ready declarations. For suppliers who can’t provide data, we help you understand default rate exposure.
Does Certivo support ISO 21434 TARA collection from automotive suppliers?
Yes. Certivo automates the collection, validation, and lifecycle management of supplier TARAs required under ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155. CORA ingests TARA artifacts in any format, validates them against ISO 21434 Clause 15 requirements—asset identification, threat scenarios, attack feasibility, and risk treatment—and links supplier-level TARAs to vehicle-program TARAs and CSMS documentation for type approval submissions. Cybersecurity Interface Agreements (CIAs) are tracked per supplier and per program. When new vulnerabilities are disclosed against supplier components, Certivo triggers TARA refresh workflows automatically.
How does Certivo integrate with IMDS and existing systems?
Certivo provides integrated PLM ERP compliance connectivity with IMDS, ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), PLM tools, and OEM supplier portals. We import your existing data during implementation and maintain sync with your master component and supplier records. Multi-tier supply chain transparency extends across all connected systems.
