IPC–Association Connecting Electronics Industries(R), the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) and RosettaNet today announced development of a new IPC standard that will establish electronic data formats and supporting standardized forms to simplify the exchange of materials declaration information between trading partners in the electronics industry. This standard will integrate and leverage existing industry efforts in this area, including recommendations from the iNEMI Materials Declaration and Material Composition Data (MCD) Exchange projects and RosettaNet’s e-business process standards for material composition.
