1. Discussion of IEC TC111 WG1 and IEC Draft Standard 62474
Eric Simmon
Electronic Information Group
Semiconductor Electronics Division

2. 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

3. 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

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

5. 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

6. 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?

7. 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

8. 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”

9. 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
