The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI), an industry-led consortium focused on strengthening the global electronics manufacturing supply chain, today announced that a significant number of its members - OEMs, EMS providers and suppliers - are committed to implementing IPC-1752, Materials Declaration Management.
This standard, which is expected to be published by IPC this quarter,
establishes uniform electronic data formats and standardized forms to
simplify the way industry collects, tracks and discloses material
content information. IPC-1752 is intended to reduce the cost and
complexity of RoHS compliance, while increasing data quality and
decreasing response times.
The following companies have committed to implementing processes for
material composition data exchange that will be based on IPC-1752:
Agile, Celestica, E2open, Foxconn, Jabil Circuit, Lucent Technologies,
PCNalert, PTC, Sanmina-SCI, Speedline Technologies, Solectron, Sun
Microsystems, Teradyne, Texas Instruments and Tyco
Electronics.
A number of other iNEMI member companies have played an active role on
the iNEMI materials declaration projects as well as the IPC 2-18
Subcommittee that developed IPC-1752. These firms will be evaluating
IPC-1752 for incorporation into their materials declaration processes. www.inemi.org.
