Regulatory framework
Conflict Minerals rules (EU Regulation 2017/821, customer requirements such as SEC / OECD Due Diligence) require reasonable diligence on tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) from conflict-affected or high-risk areas.
Industrial buyers must collect CMRTs, identify smelters and manage upstream gaps beyond a simple supplier attestation.
What the buyer must require
Evidence needs to be verifiable, dated and tied to a specific reference. A generic statement isn't enough.
- Up-to-date Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).
- List of smelters / refiners and RMAP status where applicable.
- Signed Conflict Minerals policy and supplier commitment.
- Corrective plan if a smelter is non-compliant or origin is at risk.
Manage compliance over time

- Prioritise materials with high 3TG content.
- Alert on expired CMRTs or unlisted smelters.
- Cross-check Conflict Minerals and tier-2 supply-chain mapping.
