IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List – Sept 2017 Update

The IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) was updated on September 3, 2017. The updated version (D14.00) includes the additional SVHC added to the REACH Candidate List in July (Perfluorohexane-1-sulphonic acid and its salts) and changes to two existing DSL entries and some maintenance to reference substance list entries, including:

The nickel substance entry (nickel metal) is replaced by a nickel/nickel compounds declarable substance group with tenreference substances;
The numerical part of the reporting threshold of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) was reduced to 0.01 mass% of article to align with the EU POPs regulation; and
The reference substance name “Lead hydrocarbonate” was replaced by “Trilead bis(carbonate) dihydroxide” and the duplicate reference substance “Lead (II) carbonate basic” (same CAS, different name) was delected.

The DSL is used globally by EEE manufacturers, suppliers, and IT solution providers as a common list of substances that should be declared throughout the supply chain, allowing downstream manufacturers to access product compliance to substance regulations around the world. The DSL includes declarable substances and substance groups together with reporting thresholds and reportable applications.

IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List – Jan 2017 Update

The IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) was updated on January 12, 2017 following the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) addition of substances to the EU REACH Candidate List on the same day. The update includes those of newly added REACH SVHCs that may be constituents of EEE products. A few additional maintenance updates were also made.

The update includes:

two of the four SVHCs added to the EU REACH Candidate List on January 12, 2017
reference substances for one of the SVHCs that is a group of substances
an update to the reportable application field of one of the Lead/Lead compound substance groups
deletion of two reference substances

The IEC 62474 data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) was not updated during this maintenance cycle. There were no changes made to the Material Classes.

Declarable Substance List (DSL)

Additions and modifications to the DSL are listed in the table below

ID	Substance Group	Specific Substance	CAS number	Reportable Applications	Reporting Threshold
00141		4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol (BPA, Bisphenol A)	80-05-7	All	Intentionally added or 0.1 mass% of article
00142	Nonadecafluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and its sodium and ammonium salts	See Reference Substances	See Reference Substances	All	0.1 mass% of article
00021	Lead/Lead Compounds	See Reference Substances	See Reference Substances	All, except for: 1. batteries, 2. surface coating material of cables/cords with thermoset or thermoplastic coatings, and 3. paint and similar surface coatings of toys and other articles intended for use by children	0.1 mass% of total Pb in homogenous material

Bisphenol A (BPA) was added to the REACH Candidate List and, given that the substance has several applications in EEE manufacturing, was included in the IEC 62474 DSL.

For the Lead/Lead Compounds entry with ID=00021 a clarification was made to the reportable application field. There are a total of five different Lead/Lead Compound entries with different reporting thresholds for different reportable applications. The clarification helps ensure that the correct threshold is being applied for each application.

IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List is Updated (June 2016)

The IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) and the Reference Substance List (RSL) were updated on June 22, 2016. The substance lists are used globally by EEE manufacturers, suppliers, and IT solution providers as a common list of substances and substance groups that are declared throughout the supply chain. Downstream manufacturers of EEE products need suppliers to declare these substances when they are present in order to determine compliance to substance regulations around the world and as evidence of due diligence in their conformity assessment.

The update includes:

the one substance added to the EU REACH Candidate List on June 20, 2016
The entry for “Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts” was changed from a substance entry to a substance group and the three substances in this group were added as reference substanc.

The IEC 62474 data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) was not updated during this maintenance cycle.

Background

The IEC 62474 DSL is an internationally recognized and harmonized list of substances and substance groups that are regulated and may be constituents of electrical and electronic products and systems. Electrical and electronic manufacturers and suppliers use the DSL in their design and supply chain management operations to specify and control substances of concern. The list is typically updated as needed based on regulatory changes. For additional information about IEC 62474, see the article About IEC 62474.

Additions to the Declarable Substance List (DSL)

Additions and technical modifications to the DSL were driven by EU REACH. The new/modified entries are listed in the table below

IEC 62474 ID	Substance Group	Specific Substance	CAS	Reportable Applications	Reporting Treshold	Reporting Level
00138		Benzo[def]chrysene	50-32-8	All	0.1 mass% of article	Article
00140	Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts	See Reference Substance worksheet for more details	See Reference Substance worksheet for more details	All	0.1 mass% of article	Article

EU REACH Candidate List

Only one substance was added to the REACH Candidate List by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) on June 20, 2016. The subtance has potential applications in EEE and is therefore included in the DSL.

The substance “Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts” had been added to the DSL in December 2015 as a substance. However, it’s actually a set of three substances; therefore it’s listing has been changed to a substance group and the three individual substances have been added to the reference substance list.

The new reference substance entries just added are shown in the table below.

ID	Substance Group	Substance	CAS
R00471	Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts	Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid	375-95-1
R00472	Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts	Ammonium salt of perfluorononan-1-oic-acid	4149-60-4
R00473	Perfluorononan-1-oic-acid and its sodium and ammonium salts	Sodium salt of perfluorononan-1-oic-acid	21049-39-8

Material Classes

There were no changes to the Material Classes.

IEC 62474 DSL Updated to Align with “Article” Interpretation

The IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) was updated (D11.00) on March 28, 2016 to reflect the September 2015 European Court of Justice (ECJ) interpretation of the term “article”. The ECJ ruling is important for OEMS and suppliers in determining whether a REACH Candidate List SVHC is above the 0.1 mass% threshold that triggers communication and notification obligations under the EU REACH regulation. A summary of the ECJ ruling is available from the blog post EU Judgment – SVHC Reporting Required for First Article.

The 71 REACH SVHCs entries in the DSL have had their reporting threshold revised to “0.1 mass% of article” to indicate that the threshold refers to an individual article.

In developing a solution to align the DSL with the ECJ ruling, the IEC 62474 validation team (VT) considered the possibility of using the term “product part” to represent an article; however, a “product part” in a material declaration can be used to represent any of several levels of subassemblies and components in a EEE product. Therefore, in many situations, it may not always be a match for the REACH definition of article.

The VT also discussed the possibility of including some type of guidance to assist manufacturer in using the threshold in the context of electrical and electronic products. However, given that guidance on the practical interpretation of “article” is still the subject of intense discussion by regulators, politicians industry and other stakeholders for the next release of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) guidance document on substances in articles, it wouldn’t be appropriate for the VT to try to second guess the conclusion of this work. Once ECHA publishes its guidance document with examples, the IEC 62474 DSL may be revised again to support the guidance.

Reporting Levels

With the ECJ ruling addressed, the new “ReportingLevel” field, which was recently added to the database, was populated. The ReportingLevel field is intended to simplify for users the interpretation of the more complex reporting thresholds. Some of the reporting thresholds are difficult to interpret because of how they are written in the regulation. For example, some thresholds refer to a part, but the actual intention from the regulation is material.

The ReportingLevel for a given DSL entry indicates one of four possible values: Product, Product Part, Article or Material.

Changes to Declarable Substance Groups

There were a couple of additional minor DSL changes.

The scope of the substance group “Polychlorinated Naphthalenes (PCNs)” was expanded to include all such substances with 1 or more chlorine atoms Previously only substances with more than 3 chlorine atoms were consider to be included in the group. The change is based on the additional requirements of the EU POP regulation.

For consistency in substance naming, the substance group “4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated [substances with a linear and/or branched alkyl chain with a carbon number of 9 covalently bound in position 4 to phenol, ethoxylated covering UVCB- and well-defined substances, polymers and homologues, which include any of the individual isomers and/or combinations thereof]” was abbreviated to “4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated” to align with the IEC 62474 substance naming convention. The portion of the name that appears in square brackets is not actually part of the chemical name but rather a description of the substance group. This description has been moved to the comment field in the DSL entry.

Reference Substances

Given the expanded scope of the Polychlorinated Naphthalenes (PCNs) substance group, a large number of additional references have been added in place of the generic reference substance “Other polychlorinated Naphthalenes”. The added reference substances are listed in Table 1 below.

Four additional reference substances have been list for the substance group “4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated”. The new entries are shown in Table 2.

IEC 62474 DSL Update – Version D10.00

Version D10.00 of the IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) and the Reference Substance List (RSL) were released on December 17, 2015. The substance lists are used globally by EEE manufacturers, suppliers, and IT solution providers as a common list of substances and substance groups that are declared throughout the supply chain. Declaration of the substances are important for downstream manufacturers to determine conformity of EEE products to substance regulations around the world and to perform due diligence in conformity assessment.

The update includes:

four of five substances from the December 17, 2015 SVHC additions to the EU REACH Candidate List and
changes in the reporting threshold of the four phthalate substances that were added to the EU RoHS Directive earlier this year.

The IEC 62474 data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) was not updated during this maintenance cycle. The database update is the final step in maintenance cycle (MC-2015-02) which was started in September.

Background

The IEC 62474 DSL is an internationally recognized and harmonized list of substances and substance groups that are regulated and may be constituents of electrical and electronic products and systems. Electrical and electronic manufacturers and suppliers use the DSL in their design and supply chain management operations to specify and control substances of concern. The list is typically updated as needed based on regulatory changes. For additional information about IEC 62474, see the article About IEC 62474. The IEC 62474 database is available online (free of charge); the standard itself which specifies the material declaration requirements and rules may be purchased in the same manner as any other IEC standard — from the IEC webstore or a reseller.

EU REACH Candidate List

Four of the five SVHCs added to the REACH Candidate List on December 17, 2015 were identified as being possible constituents of EEE products and are therefore included in the DSL. The validation team did not find any evidence that the other SVHC added to the Candidate List would exist in EEE above the reporting threshold.

Note: The reporting threshold for the new REACH SVHC substance entries is listed as “0.1 mass%” in the same manner as the other REACH SVHCs listed in the DSL; however, the IEC 62474 validation team is working on a systemic change to the reporting thresholds to take into account the European Court of Justice ruling in September with regard to the interpretation of article.

EU RoHS

The four Phthalates DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP were added into the EU RoHS Directive with the restrictions taking effect starting on July 22, 2019. Although the restriction date is several years out, some of these phthalates are pervasively used in EEE and will take significant time and effort to eliminate. Adding these substances to the IEC 62474 DSL now is necessary to help manufacturers identify the use of these substances throughout their supply chain.

The original six RoHS substance entries were also updated to reflect the recast Directive 2011/65/EU instead of the original 2002/95/EC. This is a minor editorial change.

New data field for Reporting Level

A number of new features were added recently to the IEC 62474 database. This includes a new data field has been added to all DSL entries for “Reporting Level”. This field is currently blank, but will used in the near future to provide additional information to help users interpret the reporting threshold. You can find additional information on the new features added by the IEC IT team in an earlier posting.

Changes to the Reference Substance List (RSL)

Two minor changes were made to the Reference Substance List (RSL).

The CAS number 31119-53-6 was added to the entry for Cadmium sulfate
The CAS number 7789-12-0 was added to the entry for Sodium dichromate

Material Classes

There were no changes to the Material Classes.

IEC 62474 Database Gets Some New Features

On December 14, 2015, the IEC Central Office rolled out some new features in the IEC 62474 database. The features improve the usability of the database and also provide some new features to support the validation team that maintains the database.

The most significant changes relevant to users include:

A new data field for “Reporting Level” has been added to each Declarable Substance List (DSL) entry (more detail on this is provided below)
The Export button for the reference substance (RSL) list has been moved further left to make it more visible when a user has a narrow browser window.
Users may now export the RSL as an XML file
The header message at the top of the browser window that indicates that database status and version now includes a scroll bar to allow users to review the entire message when using a narrow browser window
The substance drop-down has been narrowed by showing only the first 30 characters and last 20 characters of a substance or substance group name. The drop-down used to be over 200 characters wide due to some very long substance names. Narrowing the drop-down list makes substance selection more practical. When a specific substance is selected, the entire substance name appears in light grey just below the drop-down box.

The New “Reporting Level” field

Some of the reporting thresholds are quite complex and it’s not always easy to determine whether the reporting threshold applies to a material, a product part, or the entire product. The intention of the “Reporting Level” field is to clearly indicate the basis for the reporting threshold (i.e. what should be used as the denominator when calculating the mass percent for comparing to the reporting threshold). The “reporting Level data fields are currently left blank but will be filled in once the IEC 62474 validation team decides how to address the impact of the recent European Court of Justice ruling on REACH interpretation of article.

IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List Update – Version D9.00

The IEC 62474 online database was updated on July 15, 2015. Version D9.00 of the Declarable Substance List (DSL) and the Reference Substance List (RSL) are now available for use by EEE manufacturers, suppliers, and IT solution providers. The data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) is now version X6.01 (this is a minor editorial revision from X6.00). The database update is the final step in maintenance cycle (MC-2015-01) which was started earlier this year.

The IEC 62474 DSL is an internationally recognized and harmonized list of substances and substance groups that are regulated and may be constituents of electrical and electronic products and systems. Electrical and electronic manufacturers and suppliers use the DSL in their design and supply chain management operations to specify and control substances of concern. The list is typically updated as needed based on regulatory changes. For additional information about IEC 62474, see the article About IEC 62474. The IEC 62474 database is available online (free of charge); the standard itself which specifies the material declaration requirements and rules may be purchased in the same manner as any other IEC standard — from the IEC webstore or a reseller.

Additions to the Declarable Substance List (DSL)

A couple of regulatory changes drove the addition of two new entries to the DSL – the EU REACH Candidate List and the Canadian “Products Containing Mercury Regulations (SOR/2014-254) “. The new entries are listed in the table below

DSL Changes Based on Regulatory Changes (MC-2015-01)

Specific Substance	CAS number	Typical Applications	Reportable Applications	Reporting Threshold	Basis
1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C6-10-alkyl esters; 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and hexyl and octyl diesters with ≥ 0.3% of dihexyl phthalate (EC No. 201-559-5)	68515-51-5, 68648-93-1	Plasticisers, lubricants, adhesives, coatings, cable compounding, polymer foils, PVC compound coatings, paints, thinners, paint removers, fillers, putties, plasters, ink and toners, greases, release products, polymer preparations and compounds, and semiconductors	All	0.1 mass%	REACH Candidate List
Mercury/Mercury Compounds	-	Silver-oxide button cells, alkaline batteries, zinc carbon batteries	Batteries	0.005 mass%	Canadian Products Containing Mercury Regulations

EU REACH Candidate List

One of the two SVHCs added to the REACH Candidate List on June 15, 2015 was found to have potential uses within the EEE industry and was therefore included in the DSL. The validation team did not find any evidence that the other SVHC added to the Candidate List (which is used as a fragrance) is applicable to EEE.

Canadian Products Containing Mercury Regulations

The Products Containing Mercury Regulations specifies its mercury thresholds based on homogeneous materials. The 0.1 mass% of homogeneous materials for most products is harmonized with the mercury/mercury compounds threshold of EU RoHS. However, the 0.0005 mass% of homogeneous materials in batteries is stricter than the EU Battery Directive’s threshold of 0.0005 mass% of the entire battery.

The Canadian restriction is clearly stricter than the EU Battery Directive; however, there are other emerging battery regulations in Asia that are also stricter then the EU Directive but still based on the mass of the whole battery (0.0001 mass% of battery). This creates a dilemma in specifying the threshold that is the strictest. The Canadian regulation will typically be stricter in small batteries and the 0.0001 mass% of the battery may be stricter in larger batteries. Given the challenge in specifying which threshold is stricter, both thresholds are now specified as separate entries in the IEC 62474 DSL. Suppliers of a battery containing mercury or a product containing such a battery need to consider both thresholds when determining their declaration requirements. However, even if both thresholds are exceeded, the mercury/mercury compounds would be declared only once for each instance of mercury in the product. If both thresholds are exceeded, both thresholds should be listed in the declaration. In a future article, we’ll be providing information on how to do this in a material declaration.

Substance Groups with an Exhaustive List of Reference Substances.

For most declarable substance groups that are included in the DSL, the reference substance list (RSL) provides a list of example substances that are included in the substance group. These reference substance lists are indicative and no attempt has been made to provide an exhaustive set of such substances.

However, for a few declarable substance groups, the reference substance list is a complete (i.e. exhaustive) list of substances as specified in a regulation. For these substance groups with a complete substance list on the RSL, additional comments have been added to the DSL entries to clarify that the list is complete. The comment field now includes “Note: This declarable substance group has a complete list of substances that is specified in the reference substance list”. This should provide users with additional clarity.

The substance groups with a complete list of reference substances are provided in the table below.

Substance Groups with a complete list of reference substance

ID	Substance Group
00003	Asbestos
00004	Azocolourants and azodyes which form certain aromatic amines
00020	Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and all major diastereoisomers identified: Alpha-hexabromocyclododecane Beta-hexabromocyclododecane Gamma-hexabromocyclododecane
00036	Phthalates, Selected Group 1 (BBP, DBP, DEHP)
00037	Phthalates, Selected Group 2 (DIDP, DINP, DNOP)
00103	Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and individual salts and esters of PFOA
00104	Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and individual salts and esters of PFOA

Changes to the Reference Substance List (RSL)

A few changes were made to the Reference Substance List (RSL).

The reference substances that are part of a complete list (as discussed above) had a comment added “This reference substance is part of a complete list as specified in the regulation or standard indicated in the BasisDescription field of the DSL entry”
The reference substance ” Trichlorotetrafluoropropane” (HCFC-224cc) included in the substance group “Ozone Depleting Substances (CFC, Halon, HBFC, HCFC & others)” had an incorrect CAS number listed. The CAS number was updated to 422-51-5.

Material Classes

There were no changes to the Material Classes.

Data Exchange Format (Developer’s Table and XML Schema)

The IEC 62474 Developer’s Table has been updated with one minor editorial change and no technical changes:

The definition of the “aboveThresholdLevel” attribute (ACB122) was revised to better explain how the field is used. The revised definition states: True/False response stating whether the substance is contained in the product above or below the stated threshold. If the substance is or may be at or above the stated Threshold, the response shall be “True”. If the substance is known to be below the stated Threshold, the response would be “False”.

There were no changes to the XML schema.

Entries that are new or revised will have a LastRevised date of 2015-07-15.

If anyone is aware of errors or omissions in the database (e.g. a regulated substances that is not included in the DSL but has potential EEE applications), please send an email to ECD Compliance and we will review and address with the validation team.

IEC 62474 database: http://std.iec.ch/iec62474

IEC 62474 database will be out of service starting July 11, 2015

The IEC 62474 database will undergoing an update starting this Saturday July 11, 2015 to implment changes for maintenance cycle MC-2015-01. The following information will be updated:

declarable substances list,
reference substance list
developer’s table

There are no changes planned to the XML schema associated with this update cycle.

Updates to the IEC 62474 database are live updates; therefore the database will need to remain out of service until all changes have been made and verified. Extensive verification is performed during each maintenance cycle. The header message on the database will indicate when the system is out of service and when it is back in service.

Update to IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List is Released – April 8, 2015

The latest update to the IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List (DSL) and data exchange format was released on April 8, 2015. The DSL is revised to version D8.00 and the updated data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) are now version X6.00.

The DSL is an internationally recognized and harmonized list of substances and substance groups that are regulated and may be constituents of electrical and electronic products and systems. Major electrical and electronic manufacturers and suppliers use the DSL in their design and supply chain management operations to specify and control substances of concern. The list is typically updated twice a year.

Additions to the Declarable Substance List (DSL)

Regulatory changes drove five additions and modifications to the DSL, namely for the substance entries:

Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene (BNST)
2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4,4-dioctyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate (DOTE)
reaction mass of 2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4,4-dioctyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate and 2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4-[[2-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-2-oxoethyl]thio]-4-octyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate (reaction mass of DOTE and MOTE)
2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-ditertpentylphenol (UV-328)
2-benzotriazol-2-yl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol (UV-320)

Four of the six SVHCs added to the REACH Candidate List in December 2014, have the potential to be final constituents of EEE above the reporting threshold and, therefore, passed the IEC 62474 screening process and were included. The UV-320 substance was already on the DSL based on another regulation, but its reporting threshold has now been updated to include the REACH SVHC threshold. For the other two SVHCs, no evidence was found that they occur in EEE and were therefore not added. If anyone is aware of these substances being used in EEE, please contact the IEC 62474 validation team by sending an email to iec62474(at)rohs.ca.

BNST is restricted in Canada under the Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2012 and has been used as an additive to lubricants to improve performance and reliability in several types of electric motors. The regulations provided an exemption for BNST in lubricants until March 2015 and thereafter only by permit. As the global supply chain gains awareness of the restriction, applications of BNST lubricants have been turning up in a variety of applications from IT equipment, to HVAC equipment and starter motors and alternators.

The new and modified entries in the DSL due to new substance regulations are listed in Table 1 below.

Table 1: DSL Changes Due to New Regulations (MC-2014-02)

Specific Substance	CAS number	Typical Applications	Reportable Applications	Reporting Threshold	Basis
Benzenamine, N-phenyl-, reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene	68921-45-9	Lubricant additive in motors and sliding mechanisms	All	Intentionally added	Canadian Regulation
2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4,4-dioctyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate (DOTE)	15571-58-1	PVC stabilizer	All	0.1 mass%	REACH Candidate List
reaction mass of 2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4,4-dioctyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate and 2-ethylhexyl 10-ethyl-4-[[2-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-2-oxoethyl]thio]-4-octyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate (reaction mass of DOTE and MOTE)		PVC stabilizer	All	0.1 mass%	REACH Candidate List
2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-ditertpentylphenol (UV-328)	25973-55-1	UV stabilizer	All	0.1 mass%	REACH Candidate List
2-benzotriazol-2-yl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol (UV-320)	3846-71-7	UV-stabilizer in adhesives, paints, printing inks, plastics, inked ribbons, putty, caulking or sealing fillers	All	Intentionally added or 0.1 mass%	REACH Candidate List

Cleanup of Declarable Substance List

In 2014, the IEC 62474 Validation Team (VT) launched a major review and cleanup of the substance names and substance group names in the current DSL and reference substance list (RSL). For example, in some cases, regulators have revised the spelling of a substance name, and in other cases alternate spellings may have been introduced by regulations in different countries. Nearly 30 current substance and substance group entries were identified and approved for revision.

As part of the DSL review, the VT also considered how to deal with substance names that are listed by regulators but are not chemically accurate or that include a description or synonym in the substance name. For example, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) is notorious for including a description of the substance in the substance name rather than providing a separate description field. It’s important for the industry to have substance naming information that is meaningful to the upstream global supply base who may be several levels removed from importing products into the final destination country.

The Declarable Substance Group and Declarable Substance entries that were modified are listed in Table 2 at the end of this article.

For two of the substance entries (Dibutyltin dichloride (DBTC) and Cadmium sulphide), the substance group that was previously listed in the substance group was deleted. Declarable Substance groups have not be consistently listed for declarable substances in the IEC 62474 DSL and given that regulations sometimes create overlapping substance groups, the VT has agreed to not prescribe a substance group for declarable substance entries. This provides users with more flexiblity in constructing the material declaration file and will reduce confusion when there there is more than one applicable substance group.

Changes to the Reference Substance List (RSL)

The DSL cleanup also impacted a few of the entries in the Reference Substance List (RSL).

The substance group name for “Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and all major diastereoisomers” was expanded to “Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and all major diastereoisomers identified: Alpha-hexabromocyclododecane Beta-hexabromocyclododecane Gamma-hexabromocyclododecane” to align with the REACH Candidate List;
The declarable substance group name “Shortchain Chlorinated Paraffins (C10 – C13)” was renamed to “Alkanes, C10-13, chloro (Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins)” to better align with he current naming convention that is used internationally;
The declarable substance group “Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), Aluminosilicate” has been deleted (it is no longer referenced by the DSL);
The declarable substance group “Boric Acid” has been deleted (it is no longer referenced by the DSL);
Reference substances have been added for “Hexahydromethylphthalic anhydride”. The four reference substances provide a complete list of substances that are applicable to the substance group as specified in the regulation.

Material Classes

There were no changes to the Material Classes.

Data Exchange Format (Developer’s Table and XML Schema)

The IEC 62474 Developer’s Table has been updated with three minor changes

The reporting obligation for Mass and MassPercent elements in the MaterialClass Class were updated to allow only one of Mass or MassPercent to be provided for MaterialClass , but not both. Similar changes were made to the Part, Material, SubstanceGroup, and Substance classes during the last update cycle. This change makes MaterialClass consistent with the other data elements;
The note associated with the reportableApplication (ACB123) was corrected. The note had previously suggested that reportable applications should be concatenated when multiple reportable applications are simultaneously triggered. For example, this can happen for declarable substance groups such as “lead/lead compounds” which have multiple entries in the DSL with different reportable applications and reporting thresholds. However, since the “Threshold” Class (ACA021) was created, multiple thresholds can now be reported by using multiple Threshold elements; concatenating reportable applications is no longer relevant (nor allowed) .
The definition of the MassPercent and Mass elements in “Material” (ACB048, ACB049) was modified to clarify that they refer to the mass of the material.

The XML Schema and developer’s table are now version X6.00. Changes in the X6.00 developer’s table compared to X5.00 version are shown in red font. There were no changes to the XML Schema in this update. The X6.00 schema is identifical to the X5.00 schema.

Further Information

The declarable substance list (DSL) is available for download at http://std.iec.ch/iec62474. Entries that are new or revised may be identified by a LastRevised date of 2015-04-08 for the DSL and the developer’s table.
