The Tungsten Industry Conflict Minerals Council (TI-CMC) has released an updated version of its Tungsten Framework document. The council acts as a framework through which members can provide industry stakeholders and downstream tungsten consumers with conflict mineral reporting & disclosure obligations, and the public at large with their assurances that the tungsten products they supply are sourced in accordance with the relevant OECD Guidance, appropriate US laws such as Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Regulation (EU) 2017/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council from May 17, 2017, and that the risks highlighted in this guidance are assessed and mitigated as appropriate.
