A new material declaration standard for the aerospace, defense and heavy equipment industries is being developed as IPC-1754. The standards development committee officially kicked off development of the standard in October 2015. The IPC-1754 standard came out of a initiative started by the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG(tm)).

ECD Compliance principal, Walter Jager, has been appointed as co-chair and will help lead the committee (which now includes over 100 members) in developing the standard.
