IPC-1752 outlines a materials declaration format and process that provides an effective approach to assist companies in meeting environmental regulation compliance. The standard provides a content declaration form, which will simplify and improve materials data exchange throughout the supply chain, driving cost savings and efficiency. Data entered into the form is forced to conform to the schema requirements because the form design tool binds the schema elements directly to the form fields, thereby ensuring a higher level of data quality. The data captured by these forms can then be extracted and exchanged in XML format. This facilitates three levels of declaration using two different forms: a general yes/no RoHS compliance declaration, a Class I JIG (Joint Industry Guide) declaration at the part level (IPC-1752–1), and a Class II declaration which includes RoHS and JIG substances at the homogeneous material level, along with related manufacturing parameters (IPC-1752–2). The forms can be exchanged electronically.
