This document specifies a procedure relating to the declaration on the use of critical raw materials in energy-related products. Process chemicals, emissions during product manufacturing and packaging are not in scope of this document.The main intended use of this document is to provide a means for information on the use of CRMs to be exchanged up and down the supply chain and with other relevant stakeholders.Potential users of this document are any public, private and social enterprises involved in the production and the treatment of waste of ErP, as well as manufacturers of energy-related products (including SMEs) and other organisations in the product supply chain. It is also relevant to European market surveillance and trade authorities as well as European policy makers.This document does not include product-specific provisions, and can, in fact, be applied directly to any type of energy-related product. It is intended that product-specific provisions that are related to CRM will be fully based on and use the principles and procedures of this document.This document proposes a standardized format for reporting use of critical raw materials in energy-related products by applying the IEC 62474 materials declaration standard. However, it does not provide or determine any specific method or tool to collect critical raw material data.
