Are you worried that your Smelter or refiner is currently not listed on the Standard Smelter Reference list? Relax!!! RMI has designed a questionnaire template to include the smelter or refiner details to solve the issue.
The term CIQ stands for Company Identification Questionnaire. CIQ was previously known as Smelter Identification Questionnaire (SIQ). This is a key survey tool designed to collect information on a company’s mineral supply chain, minerals operation, production and helps to determine the eligibility of a company to participate in Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP), including any RMI’s due diligence, ESG standard and Downstream Assessment Program (DAP). Any individual Company information collected through the CIQ will not be shared publicly by RMI.
Every manufacture/supplier who wish to participate in RMAP or DAP assessment must first fill the CIQ to start the process.
The general CIQ supports the input for 3TG, Cobalt, Mica and DAP.
The Company Identification Questionnaire can be downloaded using the below link
To add smelters and refiners for any other minerals excluding 3TG, Cobalt and Mica, the Emerging Minerals Company Identification Questionnaire can be used.
The Emerging Minerals Company Identification Questionnaire can be downloaded using the below link
The completed questionnaires must be emailed to [email protected] for further processing.
As a corrective action for suppliers with non conformant smelters in their supply chain can participate in this program with help of ComplianceXL, we shall survey on behalf the suppliers and help smelters refiners to be RMAP audit conformant.
