Developing Resources for a Sustainable Aerospace Future

Materials and Substances Declaration Development Document

The Declaration Support team within Work Group 1 of the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) has published V3.0 of its “Materials & Substances Declaration Development”. This document provides basic information, discussion, and illustrative examples on calculation of substance content in products. The enhanced document provides further insight into the challenging and poorly understood subject areas of reactive and transformational materials. These transformational materials have a different final composition after incorporation into a product than the material(s) initially had prior to processing and application to the product (e.g., a two-component paint system). This valuable free resource also provides useful tips for substance identification and mass calculation and works through several examples of declarations including a small complex article that highlights usage of multi-part materials/mixtures containing both volatile and reactive substances. A jacketed cable calculation along with a homogeneous material (RoHS) declaration round out the helpful examples. The document also contains important information about Safety Data Sheets, surface finishing processes, and helpful references, websites, and tools that readers can utilize to create more accurate and meaningful materials and substances declarations.

Aerospace Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Datasets

This document is released for purpose of providing a shared vision of the environmental datasets specifically needed by the aerospace sector when conducting LCAs. It is intended for aerospace sector actors as well as for environmental data providers looking to have a vision of inputs most commonly used throughout the sector.

IAEG PFAS List (AD-PFAS)

Update to the IAEG review of Aerospace and Defence dependencies and regulatory action relating to PFAS

Global Battery Regulations and Implications for the Aerospace and Defense Industry

IAEG Work Group 9 is pleased to share the report entitled “Global Battery Regulations and Implications for the Aerospace and Defense Industry.” The report, sponsored by IAEG Work Group 9, presents a strategic, high-level assessment of the evolving global battery regulatory landscape and its implications for compliance obligations and operational risk across the aerospace and defense sector.

Aerospace and Defense Industry: Recurring Regulatory and Sustainability Reporting Obligations

The report, sponsored by IAEG Work Group 9, provides IAEG members and their supply chain with a structured, global inventory of major recurring reporting obligations relevant to the A&D sector. It aims to enable efficient horizon scanning and planning for submissions.
