Status: published as ISO/IEC 82474-1:2025#
Note: IEC 82474-1:2025 has been published as a dual-logo ISO/IEC International Standard, Material declaration — Part 1: General requirements. It is a horizontal standard covering products of any industry sector. Adoption is still rolling out, so confirm edition details and any sector-specific guidance against official IEC and ISO sources before relying on them in a compliance decision.
What it is#
IEC 82474-1 carries the material declaration model under IEC/TC 111 beyond electronics. It takes the proven IEC 62474 approach, which combines a data-exchange format with a maintained set of declarable substances, and recasts the industry-neutral parts as a cross-sector, dual-logo ISO/IEC standard. Part 1 sets out the general requirements for the content, format and exchange of material declarations, and adds clauses such as web-service (machine-to-machine) exchange and material efficiency and circularity.
Why it matters#
If you already work with IEC 62474, IPC-1752A or IPC-1754, a converging cross-sector standard can affect which format you exchange data in and which substance list you declare against in the coming years. It is worth tracking.
What to do now#
- Keep using the established standards (IEC 62474 and the IPC-175x family) for live compliance work today.
- Watch IEC/TC 111 and the realignment of IEC 62474 (electrotechnical-specific content) against IEC 82474-1 (cross-sector general requirements).
- Update this entry as adoption and sector guidance firm up.
