Further information about RMAP conformance

Facilities listed as RMAP Conformant on the Conformant List have been assessed through the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), which validates whether a facility meets the requirements of the RMI’s Global Responsible Sourcing Due Diligence Standard for Mineral Supply Chains – All Minerals and the RMI mineral-specific standards for tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold available here.  

RMAP helps support compliance with: 

• The European Union Conflict Minerals Regulation (EU Regulation 2017/821) 

• In 2025, the RMAP standards for Tin and Tantalum, Tungsten, and Gold were officially announced as the first standards recognized by the European Commission for EU importers’ Conflict Minerals Regulation (CMR) compliance. While EU importers in scope of the regulation are ultimately responsible for their individual compliance, a supply chain due diligence scheme that is recognized by the European Commission can help enable importers to comply with their obligations.

• The U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502 

The conformance determination applies solely to the supply chain due diligence performance of an individual facility and the specific metal(s) in scope, as listed. It is updated periodically to reflect the most recent RMAP conformance determination of participating facilities. Conformance does not extend to the facility’s parent company, subsidiaries, or other related entities. An RMAP conformance determination attests that the facility has OECD-aligned management systems in place to effectively identify, assess and mitigate the risks in scope of the assessment,   

As with any supply chain due diligence assessment, it cannot by nature provide a complete guarantee of the absence of risk.  

Importantly, RMAP Conformance is not:  

• A verification of a facility’s compliance with all applicable laws. 

• Designed to be a full compliance screen against all forms of sanctions, trade restrictions, or other regulatory measures imposed by any government or international body. Other legal limitations apply as described in the Terms and Conditions 

• Applicable to facility operations, i.e., risks within the walls of the facility. These issues are dealt with in the RMI Facility Standard. 

• An indicator of the facility’s social, environmental, occupational health and safety and governance supply chain due diligence practices, beyond OECD Annex II risks. These issues are addressed in the RMI Supply Chain Due Diligence Plus Module. 

• The RMAP is not a material certification. 

In summary, RMAP assessments and the RMI Public List are industry public resources to be used as part of a broader supply chain due diligence strategy.
