The Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) of the Responsible Minerals Initiative: the independent assessment of smelters, refiners and processors against OECD-aligned due diligence standards, namely the Tin and Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold standards (effective 1 June 2018, recognised by the European Commission under the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation in October 2025) and the All Minerals Standard (version 1.1, March 2026) that since 1 January 2026 also covers cobalt, copper, nickel and zinc. Optional Facility and Supply Chain Due Diligence Plus modules add ESG risks.
