| Committee Charter |
This subcommittee is responsible for maintenance and further development of a series of standards dedicated to communication between supply chain partners. The format, identified as Product Data eXchange (PDX), is documented in the standard series IPC-257X. The effort is focused on communicating product content information between Original Equipment Manufacturers, Electronics Manufacturing Services providers, and component suppliers. The standard is based on XML DTD (Document Type Definition) and provides a simple flexible way to encode structured data into a format that is both human and machine-readable. The PDX standard consists of the Generic descriptions (IPC-2571), the as built descriptions (IPC-2576), and product design configuration data (IPC-2578). |
