Criterion ID: AM11-Supply-Chain-Risk-Inputs-CAHRA-Determination Category: Risk Management
Description
CAHRA procedure, resources, criteria, sanctions considerations, reasonableness, implementation, and CAHRA records.
Assessment Coverage
Assessors review whether the facility has a written procedure to identify Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs), covering the resources and criteria used, consideration of sanctions lists, and the review frequency. They assess whether the procedure is reasonable and consistently implemented, and verify that the facility maintains a record of all countries and areas identified as CAHRAs within its supply chain during the assessment period.
Conformance Claim
Conformance with this criterion indicates that the facility has implemented a documented process to identify conflict-affected and high-risk areas and maintains records.
Profiles using this criterion
Responsible Minerals Assurance Process
Conformity Alignment
Conform
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The facility is conformant with a requirement if no non-conformances are identified - i.e., significant deviations from the Standard requirements or the Assessment Criteria.
"
Conform Continual Improvement
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The facility has developed the required policy, procedure, or process but has only partially completed its implementation. The facility must formally acknowledge that not all due diligence has been completed and provide a plan or road map for full implementation. Outstanding items must be resolved within the following assessment period.
"
Conform Observation
Pass: Yes
Definition: "The assessor notes information that does not constitute a non-conformance, including limitations encountered during the assessment, unique aspects of facility operations, or other relevant feedback. Non-conformances addressed during the on-site assessment are reclassified to this level in the final report.
"
Non Conform
Pass: No
Definition: "The facility's systems, processes, and practices deviate from the Standard requirements or the Assessment Criteria. Deviations are substantive gaps in policy, process, or implementation that constitute a non-conformance as supported by sufficient and appropriate assessment evidence.
"
Zero Tolerance
Pass: No
Definition: "A zero-tolerance situation exists where access to the facility, documentation, or key personnel is denied; any bribe or gift is offered to the assessor; documentation has been falsified; the facility deliberately misrepresents facts through deception, coercion, or interference; or any other action or absence thereof risks the credibility or integrity of the RMAP system. The assessor stops the assessment immediately and notifies RMI.
"
Not Applicable
Pass: No
Definition: "The criterion or assessment activity does not apply to the facility based on its operations, sourcing profile, or assessor determination of applicability conditions.
