New Conflict Minerals Reporting Template Version 6.3 Released

Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) 6.3 now available to download

On May 5, the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) released an updated Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) version: CMRT 6.3.

CMRT forms are used to exchange conflict minerals data across the supply chain in order to comply with the U.S. Conflict Minerals regulation (U.S. Dodd-Frank Act of 2010).

Changes to CMRT 6.3 from the prior version include:

•  Corrections to all reported bugs and errors
•  Updates to tips on the Instructions tabs
•  Enhancements which do not conflict with IPC-1755A
     – Update to ISO short names for countries, states / provinces
•  Updates to the Smelter Reference List

CMRT forms are typically updated once per year by the RMI organization. The last major CMRT update was to version 6.22 in May 2022. The next version of the CMRT is anticipated to be released in Spring 2024.

RMI recommends using CMRT version 6.01 or higher for current reporting year declarations. The new CMRT 6.3 form can be downloaded online.
