May 31, 2009 // Published as a news service by IHS
IPC, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), DigitalEurope and the Japanese Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI) released "Joint Industry Guide - Material Composition Declaration for Electrotechnical Products - JIG-101 Ed. 2.0."
The publication is an industry materials declaration guide that helps facilitate reporting of material content information across the global electrotechnical supply chain, according to IPC.
It includes regulatory requirements such as EU REACH and sets minimum requirements for a material declaration but does not preclude companies from inquiring about the presence of additional substances if needed.
Referenced in IPC 1752 - Materials Declaration Management, the guide focuses on what substances to declare whereas IPC 1752 covers how to do a materials declaration especially for electronic exchange.
