IPC 2-18, 1752 Standard for Materials Declaration

Co-Chairs:

Eric Simmon, NIST

Mark Frimann, Texas Instruments

Revision

1752 V1.x to 175X V2.0

Update

Why Material Declarations?• Electronic Equipment Manufacturers want to

– Ensure products do not contain banned / restricted materials.

– May want to know about the presence of other materials for other reasons:

• Recyclability• Sustainability targets/goals• Green marketing• WEEE

• With data, product decisions can be made– Information based on manufacturing and process

knowledge– Provides an alternative to costly testing regimes

Why the IPC 1752 Standard

• Many different data management solutions are used across the supply chain• These data management solutions must

work together• Establish standard electronic data formats • Support the exchange of Materials

Declaration information between trading partners (B2B)

• Reduce burden on the supply chain

The IPC 1752 Standard

5

• The IPC 1752 standard is a data exchange tool for materials and substances

– Designed to help the electronics industry comply with the regulations effecting their products

– Companies can understand if possible materials of concern are contained in their products

– Allows companies to make more accurate assessments of their products in an environmentally conscious society

IPC 175xXML FORMAT

IPC 175x AdvantagesOver Current Data Request Formats

Customer(Requestor)

Supplier(Sender)

o Current methods for data requests There are almost as many different types of forms as there are customers requesting data

o Using the IPC 175x format allows 2 ways to exchange data Customer sending a form and Supplier fills in data (return form or XML data) Automation possible by using it as a data translator from Supplier database to Customer database

• Supplier uploads data being requested - Customer down loads information into their database

Data can resideIn ANY format Data can reside

In ANY format

The IPC 1752 Standard

7

• Company information (required)

• IPC 1752 was designed to help industry comply with the restricted substance regulations effecting the electronics industry– Data exchange format companies can use to transfer information on

materials contained in their product from an upstream supplier to a downstream requestor

• Yes/No compliancy to a stated regulatory requirement• “Negative” declaration for a list of substances not contained within

the product– If contained, amount in mass and/or ppm may be required over

maximum concentration values• Full declaration of materials actually contained in the product

– EU RoHS compliancy and exemptions

• Manufacturing information

• Legal signatures

Limitations of IPC 1752 V1

• Limited multiple part reporting

• Data authenticity - no XML signature

• No language for new legislation

• Limitations in pdf implementation

Updating 1752

• New regulations are effecting the electronics industry

• The supply chain has a better understanding of how to handle material declarations

• IPC 175x v2 is designed to meet these new needs

Solution - IPC 175x v2

• Full system approach– Integrates all types of supplier declarations into one

framework with modularized information:• Business Information & Basic Product declaration –

1751• Material - 1752• Manufacturing - 1756• Production chemicals - under development in 1757

– Uses UML domain modeling to improve understanding of the domain

175x V2.0 Updates – major changes

• Move from Adobe solution to 3rd party solutions– XML schema supported by 3rd party suppliers

• Move from one form/expression (1752) to modular solutions– 1751: Controlling Requirements

• Supplier / Requestor info• Legal statements and “signature”• Component name(s) & weight(s)

– Support multiple parts• Modules available (1752 – A, B, C and/or D, 1756, etc.)

– 1752: Material Declaration• Level A = Yes/No ===> was Class 1 & 2

– Type of declaration (EU, China, REACh and/or others)• Level B = Material Group Level (NEW)• Level C = Product Level (JIG-101) ===> was Class 3 & 4• Level D = Material Level (Substances) ===> was Class 5 & 6

– 1756: Manufacturing information• Was a part of Class 2, Class 4 & Class 6

Solution - IPC 175xv2 (cont)

• Support for multiple parts– Part families– Multiple levels

• A generalized declaration query list supports– requester queries– Future regulations

• Improved Modularity– Manufacturing information moved to separate sectional

• Electronic signature for XML data

Example: Visual of 1751 Module

1752 v2 ClassesClass Description Declaration Type Detailed Requirements

A-Reporting in Query/Reply

formatQuery/Reply

- Supplier states whether the product meets defined query list as determined by Section 5.4).

B Material group reporting Material Group- Supplier states the amount of different

groupings of materials within a product.

C

- JIG substance category reporting for the product

- Additional substance categories reporting at the product level

JIG formatted substance categories

- Supplier provides mass and/or concentration of JIG substance category at the product level if above thresholds.

- Additional substance categories can be added and reported at the product level.

D

- Substances reporting at the homogeneous material level

- JIG substances and additional substances are accommodated

Full substances- Supplier provides location, mass, and/or PPM

of substances at homogeneous material level

1752 v2 – Class A Query List Declaration

• Uses multiple “query” statements with a Boolean true/false response

• Eases the addition of declarations to support new legislation– Can be added without modifying the XML– Easy for the solution providers to adapt to new declarations– Allows requester to provide custom declaration queries

Example: Class B China RoHS queries

• Product(s) requires marking for the presence of restricted substances and must be marked with an Environmental Protection Use Period under China’s “Measures for Administration of the control of pollution by Electronic Information Products” (China RoHS)

• Product(s) is eligible for marking with the green e code under China’s “Measures for Administration of the control of pollution by Electronic Information Products” (China RoHS)

175x V2.0 – 1752 Class B (new)• A higher level of material summarization

is available– Material groups – 1752 Class B

Data Entry Tool

• Separation of data and tool– V2.0 will no longer support a reporting tool (like Adobe)– Move from Adobe solution to 3rd party solutions– Schema available for companies and 3rd party solution

provider to develop and support tools – Schema and XML standard will ensure easy data transfer

from one tool to another

• NIST providing a reference tool – Scriba– Freely available for supply chain to use or modify

Conclusion• IPC1752 v1 provided industry with the much needed

ability to report material composition data at a critical time

• IPC1752 v2 is the next generation declaration and provides more flexible approach including– Multiple parts– Tool independent data exchange– Electronic signature– More regulations (not EU RoHS centric)

• Current time schedule for IPC-175x release is 3Q2009
