Description / Abstract:
This standard establishes the requirements for exchanging
packing declarations between members of a supply chain. Section 3.1
Terms and Definitions defines "packing." Although this standard
contains only generic information regarding packing declaration,
when combined with the latest version of the IPC-1751 sectional
standard, the resulting document set defines the declaration
information.
This standard pertains to both hard copy and electronic data
descriptions. This standard provides for the creation of a record
between trading partners, and therefore the data communicated may
be used to help support and demonstrate due diligence in any
subsequent representation based upon its contents. This standard is
not intended for use by the public when making purchasing
decisions.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to establish a data exchange
standard for packing related information including a method for
declaration of substance content and recycled content of packing
materials between suppliers and their customers. The form,
structure, and content of the declaration are intended to be
conveyed electronically in a standard format, thereby providing
consistency, efficiency, and integrity to the declaration
process.
This sectional standard may be invoked several times depending
on the nature of the Material Declaration Classification (see 1.2)
and the appropriate "Use Case" describing Multiple Packing
Configurations (see 5.) Each time this sectional is included in the
"MainDeclaration" file, the name of the sectional shall be
used.
The enumerated string "name" for the requirements of the
IPC-1758 is identified as "PackingProductsDeclaration" as shown in
Figure 1-2. The "names" of the subsections refer to the Declaration
Classification and the Multiple Packing Configuration.
