Discussion of IEC TC111 WG1 and IEC Draft Standard 62474 Eric Simmon Electronic Information Group Semiconductor Electronics Division eric.simmon@nist.gov 301-975-3956

Introduction: Need Material composition information is a piece of a sustainable product lifecycle Environmentally Conscious Design (ECD) and manufacturing Regulatory compliance Flavors of RoHS, REACH Ultimately this provides a competitive advantage

Introduction: Obstacles Complexity of regulatory landscape Many RoHS type regulations Similar but different REACH Future regulation Complexity business responses Simple Yes/No Are yes/no declarations trustworthy? Substance reporting at product level Must request additional declarations if laws change Full declaration Future-proof but presently expensive and difficult

Introduction: Standards Domain: What data to report and why How to measure How to report Implementation: Data types/structure/format Reference tools

MATERIAL DECLARATION FOR PRODUCTS OF AND FOR THE ELECTROTECHNICAL INDUSTRY – TC111 WG1 Describes the procedure, content, and form relating to material declarations for electrical and electronic products Covers materials and substances that are present in a supplied product Does not cover production chemicals and emissions during manufacturing or use Does not specify how to capture material composition data

Three Sub-teams Process Material and substance lists What is the procedure for material declaration? Material and substance lists What are the material groups and substances that must be reported and at what level? Data exchange format What is the format of the data exchange?

Process When shall material data be provided? Electronic product or product family What data shall be provided? Material Group Substance Details Multiple levels (product parts) yes/no questions

Material Group/Substance Lists Criteria Material Group Grouping of materials that effectively describe electronics products to support ECD Declarable Substances Currently regulated Projected to be regulated Industry defined Thresholds Allow user to determine compliance status Allow user to meet “market need”

Data Exchange Format Driven by requirements set in process and criteria sections Data Elements – what data is included Types – what kind of data Structure – how the data is related Format XML – eXtensible Markup Language
