If previous material was standard FR-4: "Material should meet or exceed requirements of IPC 4101/121". I use 121 instead of 101
because it is open to the use or exclusion of fillers, which are just characteristics of different resin systems. Basically, you want
the population of allowable materials to be as large as possible to keep costs down.

If previous material was 170Tg FR4: "Material should meet or exceed requirements of IPC 4101/129 (or /124 if you can go down
to 150Tg)".
