IPC-1752A as a starting point for a global inter-sector standard

Free webinar series: Global Inter-Sector standard for Substances in Articles (SiA) Communications

Following a discussion at our Global Business Summit in March 2018, the Proactive Alliance held its first Technical Coordination meeting for an inter-sector communication standard on Substances in Articles in May.

The Proactive Alliance's objective is to define a standard to allow 'proactive' companies to provide Full Material Declarations, and can also be used by companies to provide Compliance Declarations based on??a list??of regulated substances and industry lists of prohibited and declarable substances.??

The Alliance features representatives from a range of sectors - including automotive,?? furniture, childcare products, electrical and electronic, mechanical, textiles, sporting goods and medical devices - since being able to track substances in products as they pass through the supply chain is a huge issue for many sectors.

This series of free webinars had been arranged to explain the work of the Proactive Alliance and examine the need for a global inter-sector standard for Substances in Articles (SiA) communication.

The first webinar in the series looked at IPC-1752A as a starting point for a global inter-sector standard. The end of the webinar provided attendees with the opportunity to have their questions answered by the speakers from the Proactive Alliance.

Chair:?? Emma Chynoweth, Chief Customer Officer, Chemical Watch

Speakers:??Martin Fuehr??(Introduction to the Proactive Alliance),??Mark Frimann,??Texas Instruments and??Aidan Turnbull, BOMCheck (IPC-1752A)

The second webinar in the series,??RSLs and related standards in different industry sectors??will run on 6 September at 08:00 and 16:00 BST.
