HERNDON, VA -- A new standard for simplifying materials declaration being jointly developed by several leading trade groups will be circulated for industry review in June. In a joint statement, IPC, iNEMI and RosettaNet said the draft of IPC-1752 will be released for a 60-day industry review on June 1. The standard will integrate existing efforts, including recommendations from a pair of iNEMI projects plus RosettaNet's e-business process standards for material composition. The new standard is said to provide a uniform data format to reduce the cost and complexity of RoHS compliance. The standard will build on the formats and data collection processes developed by the two iNEMI projects. It also references the Material Composition Declaration Guide, created by EIA, EICTA and JGPSSI, to define the specifics of reported substances and methodology. IPC will coordinate efforts with a proposed IEC project to promote the document as an international materials declaration standard. Work is also being coordinated with RosettaNet to establish data exchange standards and a form-based input mechanism.
