IPC-1752A establishes a standard reporting format for material declaration data exchange between supply chain participants and supports reporting of bulk materials, components, printed boards, sub-assemblies, and products. This standard is not supported directly by a PDF form. Third party software developers are invited to supply the implementation tool, and one organization has already made a free download implementation tool available. In the A revision, the data exchange format is specified as Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Amendment 2 provides important enhancements to the standard including: new Reportable Application field for use with new IEC 62474 Declarable Substances list in Appendix F to align with IEC 62474; clarification on the use of SubProduct in Class D XMLs to align with IEC 62474; clarification on reporting RoHS Exemptions tied to RoHS Exemption Lists in Class D XMLs and: addition of a new list for ELV exemptions in Appendix B. 53 pages.
