What is CMRT?

The Conflict Mineral Reporting Template (CMRT) is used in Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold(3TG) supply chains to determine the country of origin and to transfer the information of smelters and refiners being utilized as part of the Conflict mineral compliance. This template is developed, maintained and updated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and follows the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance. The CMRT is designed to follow the IPC-1755 Responsible Sourcing of Minerals Data Exchange Standard. The standard originally addressed conflict minerals within the scope of the US Dodd-Frank Act and now addresses global responsible minerals sourcing.
