In response to the growing complexity of global chemical substance regulations, aerospace and defense industry companies are urged to maintain rigorous reporting of product-related substance data. The International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) announced the release of Version 9.0 of the Aerospace and Defense Declarable Substances List (AD-DSL).
The newly updated Version 9.0 of the AD-DSL incorporates a revised list of declarable substances that reflects the latest regulatory changes potentially impacting the global aerospace and defense industry. Additionally, it includes updated definitions for regulatory criteria, allowing users to ascertain whether specific substances are subject to product and/or material restrictions, reporting requirements, or a combination of both.
The AD-DSL Version 9.0 is now available for voluntary use by members of the aerospace and defense industry and their associated supply chains. These resources can be accessed and downloaded in various formats, including Microsoft Excel, Adobe Acrobat, and an Extensible Markup Language (XML) version that adheres to the IPC-1754 data exchange standard for materials and substances declaration.
The development of the AD-DSL was made possible through the collaborative efforts of IAEG member companies, which represent a diverse cross-section of the aerospace and defense industry, including product manufacturers, component suppliers, and service contractors.
