New Substance Declaration Subschema Published for Discussion

A new "Substance Declaration" subschema has been added to the VDA 231-301 GitHub repository, alongside several improvements to the generic schema.

A new “Substance Declaration” subschema has been published for discussion in the VDA 231-301 GitHub repository. This extends the existing structure with an additional building block for the standardized description and exchange of substance-related information.

In addition, several improvements have been made to the generic schema. These include structural optimizations, clarification of definitions, and enhancements to improve consistency and usability across different material sampling use cases.

These developments demonstrate how actively the community is driving the digitalization and standardization of data exchange across the automotive supply chain. Anyone working with VDA 231-301 should take a look at the latest discussions and updates — especially if topics such as material data, substance declarations, and digital test reports are relevant.
