Deformable element and documentation system for deformable elements for use in a vehicle

The invention relates to a deformation element (1) for use in a vehicle, which comprises at least one passive, inductive identification element (2) having a read-only function as an integral component. Furthermore, the invention relates to a documentation system for deformation elements, which comprises at least one deformation element (1I, 1II) with a passive, inductive identification element (2I, 2II) having a read-only function as an integral component, and a central unit (14) in which the information stored in the individual identification elements (2I, 2II) can be queried and processed.
