Need for Product Material Information

• Acquisition and management of product material
  information is critical business requirement for
  multiple reasons
• Required to Prove Compliance with Environmental
  Regulations
• New laws and regulations designed to protect
  human health and the environment are being
  established all over the world.
• Non-compliance can result in fines and being
  banned from markets
• To Promote Social and Environmental
  Responsibility
• Consumers now consider environmental aspects when
  buying products
• Companies seeking a competitive advantage are now
  developing and advertising eco-friendly products
• Management of Material Resources
• Increasing world wide demand is limiting
  availability for key resources
• Detailed material information will enable
  companies to manage their costs and find suitable
  alternatives

4
Current Directives

• RoHS - Restriction of the Use of Certain
  Hazardous Substances
• bans the placing on the EU market of new
  electrical and electronic equipment containing
  more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium,
  mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated
  biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether
  (PBDE) flame retardants.
• WEEE - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
• Sets collection, recycling and recovery targets
  for all types of electrical goods
• Imposes the responsibility for the disposal of
  waste electrical and electronic equipment on the
  manufacturers of such equipment

5
RoHS Hazardous Substances
Materials Maximum Concentration Values (MCV)
Lead (Pb) 0.1 by weight
Mercury (Hg) 0.1 by weight
Cadmium (Cd) 0.01 by weight
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-VI) 0.1 by weight
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) 0.1 by weight
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) 0.1 by weight

  array systems, network infrastructure equipment
• List is changing
• Exemptions are reviewed periodically

Applying the Approach to an Industry Standard
IPC 1752 Materials Declaration

• The International Electronics Manufacturing
  Initiative (iNEMI) identified material
  declaration as a major issue in their roadmap
• IPC, an industry association for printed circuit
  board and electronics manufacturing service
  companies, worked with iNEMI, created IPC 2-18
  Supplier Declaration Subcommittee
• The resulting standard, IPC 1752, was published
  in 2006 prior to EU RoHS going into effect and
  provided the ability to provide multiple levels
  of declarations including yes/no, Summary (JIG),
  and full.
• IPC 1752 was created to assist the electronics
  industry in complying with the European Union
  RoHS directive
• Created using the alternative standards
  development process built around UML
• The core of the standard is built around a data
  model that captures the needs of exchanging
  product material composition information
• NIST developed a PDF based tool to populate the
  XML structure of IPC 1752, using on Adobe Acrobat
  Reader

10
IPC 1752 Background

• Designed to help industry comply with new
  material regulations effecting the electronics
  industry Part of 1750 series Supplier Declaration
  Version 1.0 included simple tools to support
  material data management
• Supports
• RoHS yes/no
• JIG A and B lists (From JIG-101)
• Full substance declaration
• Provides
• An electronic data format for material
  declaration
• Standard PDF forms Data entry tools and
  container for data
• Created using software design approach
• Scope/requirements
• Business/use cases
• Modeled using UML
• Uses XML Schema to define data structure
• Releases
• v1.0 Spring 2006
• v1.1 Spring 2007
• v2.0 Summer 2009

11
Benefits of Modeling

• Helps team envision final result
• Ensures designers intent is communicated to the
  development team
• Less expensive to improve the model than to
  improve the thing being modeled, which means more
  design iterations/money
• These ultimately lead to
• Better coverage of the domain space
• Deeper understanding of the product
• Fewer design gaps during implementation
• More maintainable product
• A higher quality product overall

Going from Data Exchange Standard to A Data
Management System

• The next step was to show that a data exchange
  standard built with this method would facilitate
  the development of a data management system.
• The Test system was comprised of two components
  a database and a software tool to handle data
  entry and manipulation.
• A test database management system was
  successfully created from the IPC 1752 standard
• Database schema generated from design model
• Implemented using MySQL
• Developed software to import and export XML files
• While limited it can easily be extended to
  provide full DMS capabilities

15
Limitations of IPC 1752 V1

• Limited multiple part reporting
• Only one sub-level within the product
• Data authenticity - no XML signature
• No language for new legislation
• Implementation limitations

16
IPC-1752 Version 2.0

• Modular - allows for easy modification to support
  other types of declarations and new regulations
• Support for new legislation - general
  declaration, no longer focused on RoHS
• Multiple parts - more robust support for
  reporting multiple parts in a single declaration
• No forms - work with solution providers to
  create supporting tools
• Improve support for multiple product IDs
• Part families - similar
• Shopping cart - different
• Support for multi-level sub-components
• A part is a part is a part
• Better BOM integration

NIST Data Entry Tool - Scriba

• Version 1.0 of the 1752 standard included a PDF
  document designed to provide users with a basic
  software tool to implement the standard
• This tool was removed for version 2.0.
• To address this need and to prove the validity of
  the proposed method a software tool called
  Scriba was developed
• Basic details of NIST reference tool Scriba
• Written in Java
• Public domain
• Simple tool Create-Update-Delete
• Multiple parts - multiple levels
• Data Validation
• Electronic Signature
• Merge Ability
• Generate presentation format
• Reference Implementation for 1752

20
Improved Implementation Scriba

• Dissociate tool from data
• Need tool for XML files
• Additional functionality using full programming
  environment
• Improve performance with large data files
• Not limited by page based format

21
XML Signature

• Allows supplier to digitally sign XML file using
  w3c XML Signature recommendation
• The XML Signature is embedded in the document
  that is signed
• Easily implemented
• Java XML Digital Signature API

IPC plans 175X to cover

• EuP Energy Using Products
• energy used to produce, transport, sell, use, and
  dispose of almost every one of its products
• Eventually will even include energy to extract
  raw materials
• eco-design requirements for energy using products
  that must be meet in order to be placed on the
  market or into service
• REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization
  and Restriction of Chemical substances
• progressive substitution of the most dangerous
  chemicals when suitable alternatives have been
  identified
• RoHS Restriction of the Use of Certain
  Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic
  Equipment
• Version 1 2006
• Version 2 Announced December 2008, release some
  time in 2009
• WEEE Waste from Electrical and Electronic
  Equipment
• mandates the treatment, recovery and recycling of
  electric and electronic equipment
• Anti-counterfeiting
• Prevent counterfeiting by unique Product ID

24
Why do we care?

• IEC TC111 - Environmental standardization for
  electrical and electronic products and systems
• WG1 - Material declaration for electrical and
  electronic equipment
• 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
• Product view, not chemical view
• Does not cover production chemicals and emissions
  during manufacturing or use
• Will be compatible with IPC 1752
• How can STEP take advantage of the IPC
  Environmental work?
• Can we pool efforts with iNEMI/IPC to accomplish
  work?
• RosettaNet already has
