A user guidance document for the IEC 62474 materials declaration standard is in the works. The guidance, which will be designated IEC 62474-1, is being written by the original working group that developed IEC 62474. The expected publication date is late 2014. It will provide information on:

• how to create a materials declaration in xml;
• how to handle many complex (and sometimes confusing) declaration situations
• examples of typical material declarations
