Product Feature
See which parts carry tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, and cobalt exposure, where CMRT and EMRT documentation is missing, and what puts your Dodd-Frank or EU filing at risk.
Overview
Conflict minerals reporting forces electronics OEMs to trace tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (3TG) from finished product back to the smelter, then prove that sourcing does not finance armed conflict. Part Risk Manager makes that scope visible at the BOM level: it flags which line items contain 3TG and cobalt, which suppliers have not returned a current CMRT or EMRT, and which smelters are high risk. Instead of a once-a-year scramble, you see exposure beside lifecycle and supply chain risk every time your BOM changes.
The hardest question in a conflict minerals program is the first one: which parts are even in scope for Dodd-Frank Section 1502 or the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation. A part is in scope when 3TG is present and necessary to its function, and answering that across thousands of line items by hand is impractical. Part Risk Manager reads each component's full material declaration and marks where tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold, and the EMRT minerals cobalt and mica appear, giving you a BOM-level map to start your reasonable country of origin inquiry. Because the analysis ties to the same records that drive risk scoring, scope updates as parts are added or substituted, so an alternate that introduces tantalum shows up immediately.
A conflict minerals filing is only as complete as the supplier documentation behind it. Part Risk Manager shows, per line item, whether the supplier has a current Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and, where cobalt or mica are present, an Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT). Missing declarations, outdated templates, and non-responsive suppliers are flagged against the BOM lines they affect. That turns a vague worry into a worklist: you see which suppliers are holding up your Form SD submission, then route those gaps into Z2's Responsible Minerals workflow instead of chasing them in spreadsheets.
Smelters are the real traceability point: determining which smelters processed the 3TG in a part is what establishes whether a conflict-free claim holds. Part Risk Manager links the smelter list in each supplier CMRT back to the parts on your BOM, so you can trace from a finished assembly down to the refiners feeding it. Where a smelter sits in a covered conflict zone, is scored high risk by the Responsible Minerals Initiative, or is connected to forced or child labor, those parts are surfaced for review in the same language as the rest of your part risk picture.
Conflict minerals status is one layer of the unified part view inside Part Risk Manager. The same line item shows lifecycle stage, supply and sourcing risk, substance compliance, and conflict minerals exposure together, so a procurement engineer sees the full picture in one place, then links into Z2's compliance and Responsible Minerals tools for screening, CMRT collection, and filing support. Because Z2 maintains an out-of-the-box database of CMRTs, EMRTs, and AMRTs from suppliers worldwide, many parts already resolve to known smelter documentation rather than starting outreach from zero.

Common Questions
It analyzes each component's full material declaration to detect tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold, plus cobalt and mica for EMRT. Parts where these minerals are present and necessary to function are flagged in scope at the BOM level, giving your country of origin inquiry a concrete starting point instead of a manual guess.
The CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template) covers the 3TG minerals and is the RMI industry standard. The EMRT (Extended Minerals Reporting Template) extends disclosure to cobalt and mica. Part Risk Manager flags missing or expired CMRTs and, where cobalt or mica are present, EMRTs as well.
Part Risk Manager surfaces conflict minerals exposure and documentation gaps in your BOM view, then links into Responsible Minerals for the deeper workflow: run supplier campaigning to collect missing templates, track smelter status against RMAP, and generate the completed CMRT for your team to file with SEC Form SD.
