This is an operational compliance update for supply-chain due diligence programs that require EMRT submissions: companies should update internal SOPs, supplier instructions, and any portal/import validations to the v2.11 file. RMI also reiterates template control expectations (e.g., it does not recognize modified versions not developed via its consensus process), which is relevant for governance and auditability of supplier submissions.
RMI released the EMRT 2.11 Completion Guide on April 17, 2026, providing detailed instructions for completing the Extended Minerals Reporting Template version 2.11. The guide covers Declaration Questions 5 & E, Smelter List input guidance, mineral scope selection (cobalt, copper, natural graphite, lithium, natural mica, nickel), and proper handling of mineral order shifting in Declaration responses. A Japanese translation is available through JEITA. Companies conducting extended minerals due diligence should use this guide alongside EMRT 2.11 for the current reporting year.
The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), the governing body for the Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT), released EMRT version 2.1 and states it is the recommended version for the reporting year. The EMRT v2.1 update includes structural/field changes that impact supplier survey collection and internal data validation, including: (1) an added notice of “Select Minerals/Metals in Scope,” (2) Product List updates adding “Requester Product Number” and “Requester Product Name,” and (3) updates to the Smelter List and Mine List tabs and to the Smelter Reference/Standard Smelter List content. Compliance teams using EMRT for customer due diligence requests should update internal templates, instructions, and validation checks to align to v2.1.
RMI released the EMRT 2.1 Completion Guide corresponding to EMRT revision 2.1. The guide provides authoritative instructions for completing the EMRT and includes a revision history noting guidance updates, including guidance for selecting smelters from the drop-down menu on the Mine List tab (Oct 17, 2025 entry) and prior guidance additions tied to the Apr 25, 2025 release. This is operationally relevant for compliance teams because it affects how suppliers are instructed to complete the template and how recipients validate completeness/consistency of Mine List and smelter selections.
The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) EMRT landing page indicates EMRT v2.1 is the recommended template for the reporting year and summarizes template changes (e.g., added “Select Minerals/Metals in Scope” notice; expanded Product List fields for requester product number/name; updates to Smelter List, Mine List, Smelter Reference List, and Standard Smelter List). The page also notes governance/quality points (RMI does not recognize modified templates outside its consensus process; guidance on CID issues and use of reference lists). RMI further states the next EMRT version is anticipated to be released in Spring 2026, which compliance teams should track for upcoming supplier survey/template updates.
RMI published the EMRT 2.1 Completion Guide (released October 17, 2025) corresponding to EMRT Revision 2.1. The guide provides official instructions for completing the template (including updates reflected in the revision history) and reiterates EMRT scope expansion that began with EMRT 2.0 (adding copper, natural graphite, lithium, and nickel alongside cobalt and mica). Compliance teams should use the guide to update internal work instructions, training, and data validation approaches when collecting supplier EMRT declarations.
The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) EMRT page indicates that EMRT v2.1 is the recommended template version for the reporting year and provides official download materials. RMI also flags a data-quality issue in EMRT 2.1 where certain facilities display incorrect CIDs (providing correct vs. incorrect CIDs) and advises users to verify against the online smelter reference information. RMI further states that the next EMRT version is anticipated in Spring 2026, which compliance teams should track for upcoming template/process changes and supplier communication updates.
RMI issued the EMRT Completion Guide corresponding to EMRT Revision 2.1 (released Oct 17, 2025). The guide provides authoritative instructions for completing EMRT tabs (e.g., Declaration, Smelter List, Product List) and explains alignment to IPC-1755 and OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
