UNTP Conformity Scheme Register

This page provides a summary of conformity schemes that have committed to publish their scheme as a digital vocabulary that can be referenced by Product Passports, Facility Records, and Conformity Credentials. As described in the UNTP Conformity Vocabulary specification, this is a key activity for scheme owners that want to empower their customers to automate their compliance and due-diligence assessments.

Statement

The Responsible Business Alliance Validated Assessment Program (VAP) is an industry-standard audit protocol for assessing labor, health and safety, environmental, ethics, and management systems performance in electronics and related supply chains. VAP assessments are conducted by RBA-recognised audit firms and result in a facility-level recognition status.

Statement

The Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) is an independent third-party assessment of smelter and refiner management systems and sourcing practices. RMAP assessments determine whether a smelter or refiner has systems in place consistent with relevant responsible sourcing standards for conflict-affected and high-risk minerals including tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and cobalt.

Endorsement

  • RMAP alignment with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
  • Issuing authority: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (https://www.oecd.org)
