EIGP 114 Rev A Labeling Standard, ‘Labeling Specification for Product and Shipment Identification in the Electronics Industry - 2D Barcode
The ECIA’s Global Industry Practices Committee (GIPC) is pleased to announce the publication of its EIGP 114 Rev A Labeling Standard, ‘Labeling Specification for Product and Shipment Identification in the Electronics Industry - 2D Barcode (Including Human Readable and 1D Barcode).” This milestone represents the culmination of several years of work by the GIPC committee identifying and standardizing the common requirements of distributors and end customers, which has allowed the creation of standardized formats that suppliers can use with all of their ECIA trading partners. These specifications further refine the use of ANSI MH10 Data Identifiers and are intended to bring usage into closer alignment with the existing standards.
This 55-page document suggests recommendations for symbology(s), dimensions, print quality, standardized sets of data, and data identifiers, as well as specific barcode placement for each applicable level of labeling applications used in the electronic component supply chain.

EBITDA Coalition Update: Tax Deal Announced
The Chairs of the House Ways & Means and Senate Finance Committees announced a bipartisan tax deal this morning that would restore the EBITDA standard for interest deductibility retroactively to 2022 and prospectively through 2025. The legislation, called the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, would also restore domestic R&D expensing and full expensing for capital equipment purchases.
The NAM (National Association of Manufacturers) is leading a business sign-on letter in support of the deal to encourage congressional leadership to bring it to a vote as soon as possible. In the interest of showing the business community’s immediate support, the deadline to sign the letter is COB this Thursday, January 18.
