EU Conflict Minerals Regulation 3tg Due Diligence

The EU Conflict Minerals Regulation, binding on importers of tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold since 2021, is under a formal Commission review as of 2026: the first supply-chain due-diligence scheme has been formally recognized, and a voluntary disclosure platform is live for companies to register their sourcing policies.

Why AuthiChain

• Commission recognition of the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process lets importers point to a named, externally audited scheme rather than build a bespoke due-diligence file for each shipment
• A signed, per-batch smelter or refiner provenance record is the kind of evidence the Responsible Minerals Information System is built to receive — checkable by an auditor without a call to the importer
• The regulation is under formal review as of a June 2026 call for tender; what changes procedurally is not yet settled, which is exactly why due-diligence evidence built on open, portable record formats outlasts the review

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $49/mo.

FAQ

Does using signed provenance records satisfy Conflict Minerals Regulation due diligence on its own?

No — the regulation requires a management system, risk assessment, and independent third-party audit under Articles 4 through 7. A signed record is evidence an auditor or downstream buyer can check; it does not replace the due-diligence process itself.

What is the Responsible Minerals Information System?

A voluntary Commission platform, ReMIS, where companies register due-diligence policies and sourcing information. It signals where reporting is heading — it is not a mandatory filing today.
