BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC and International Aerospace Environmental Group issued a statement encouraging use of IPC-1754, Materials and Substances Declaration for Aerospace and Defense and Other Industries, in the aerospace and defense industry and its global supply chain.

Obtaining data from the supply chain to support chemical content reporting for article (hardware) products remains challenging and resource-intensive for industries such as aerospace and defense, the trade group said. Increasing use of materials and substances declaration standards promotes efficiency in obtaining such data, however.

The standard, which is voluntary, supports data acquisition for various substance reporting requirements for article products, including data required by the EU’s Waste Framework Directive for reporting to the SCIP database. Under the WFD, European article suppliers subject to SVHC reporting under REACH Article 33 will also be required to report SVHC data to the SCIP database. However, SCIP reporting will also require additional data elements such as material and product identifiers.

IPC-1754 supports all data elements needed for reporting to SCIP. In support of SCIP reporting, IPC is developing guidance on using IPC declaration standards in acquiring the necessary data. IAEG is also developing supporting general information for the use of IPC-1754 and related IAEG-developed tools in the AD industry supply chain, available on the IAEG website.
