What is IPC-1752A?
Institute of Printed Circuits
⬥ Created a data exchange standard to support not only the requirements of RoHS and REACH, but also those to come in the future IPC-1752
⬥ First released as a PDF, but has not been supported in years
⬥ Currently available in XML
⬥ The most highly adopted standard for materials data exchange

What is Full Material Disclosure?
Depends on who you ask
In the electronics industry, this would mean 100% disclosure of every substance down to the homogeneous level
◆ Without this level of disclosure, an FMD would not demonstrate compliance to the RoHS Directive
In an industry which does not have any regulatory requirement to restrict or disclose substances at the homogeneous level, this could mean 100% disclosure at the “Article” level (i.e. total concentration)
◆ Having 100% disclosure at the Article level would support compliance to REACH SVHC communication requirements and a variety of other legal requirements

Best Practices
❖ Immediately input FMD data into an accepted standard — IPC-1752A schema — in the form of an XML file
❖ Include a Class A (high-level REACH or RoHS statement) or Class C (statement of threshold exceedance at the substance level for REACH or RoHS) statement in conjunction with your Class D FMD
Note: If you make an error upon input of the substance data, our software FMD validation will catch the discrepancy upon submission into our system. If you use our XML generator (FMDComplete) we can
catch the error before the file is generated.

Best Practices
❖ Know your Articles! Your high-level product is typically a “Complex Article” — meaning it is built with several other Articles or even several other Complex Articles
❖ Understand what you are asking of your supply chain and clearly establish those expectations
