64 SMT007 MAGAZINE I MARCH 2025 and JSON structures. ose gaps will be filled via collaboration between the associated IPC- 1750 standard task groups and the Critical Components Traceability Task Group. e end result will be a mapping between all IPC-1782 data collection requirements and JSON schemas for automated population of traceability data. In addition to this mapping, the task group is adding component-level authentication requirements and validating all the traceabil- ity requirements to ensure they are set in such a way as to be dynamically collected/reported using the JSON schemas. Generic Requirements for Digital Twin Task Group Tuesday, March 18, 1:30–3 p.m. Because so much data being collected by IPC-1782 can be applicable to digital twins, the Generic Requirements for Digital Twin Task Group, which manages IPC-2551, Inter- national Standard for Digital Twins, will be keeping close tabs on the activities of the Crit- ical Components Traceability Task Group's JSON schema mapping project. at is because one of the upcoming activi- ties of this task group is to build upon the cel- lular structure for digital twins laid out in the standard and map those structures to IPC- 1750 JSON schemas. e end goal is to have a standard that fully supports interoperability of digital twin systems. Data Collection and Reporting for Sustainability Compliance Task Group/ Data Collection and Reporting of CO2 Equivalent (CO2e) Emissions Task Group Wednesday, March 19, 1:30–3 p.m. Two new task groups that are just forming to address sustainability reporting efforts will hold kickoff meetings at APEX EXPO. e Data Collection and Reporting for Sus- tainability Compliance Task Group and Data Collection and Reporting of CO 2 Equiva- lent (CO 2 e) Emissions Task Group will meet jointly to introduce a new series of IPC stan- dards to support industr y as it works to meet sustainability reporting regulations and other requirements. IPC-1783, International Standard for Data Collection and Reporting for Sustainability Compliance, will provide a framework and mechanisms for the collection and report- ing of data for sustainability compliance and requirements. It will establish overall guidance on collect- ing and reporting data for sustainability mea- surements. is will not be a standalone stan- dard but will serve as a top-level standard to support the use of sectional standards in a new IPC-1783 series for sustainability data collec- tion and reporting. e sectional standards
