Full Material Disclosure (FMD) Module
Increase Efficiency with a Full Material Disclosure Module; The Full Material Disclosure (FMD) Module, available on the Assent Compliance Platform (ACP), prevents the need for repeated supply chain queries to update material declarations as restricted or declarable substance lists change. It automates the complexity of supply chain outreach by leveraging Assent’s industry-leading supplier portal, renowned for achieving exceptional supplier response rates for our clients. Collecting FMDs is straightforward and provides organizations with visibility into the entire materials composition of their products.
The Full Material Disclosure (FMD) Module is designed to save clients time, effort and money. Once FMDs are collected, the Assent Compliance Platform (ACP) maps suppliers to the parts, components and products they contribute to an organization’s bills of materials (BOMs). Assent then integrates the FMD data into an intuitive hierarchical roll-up, allowing engineers to manage various declarable substance lists, including REACH, RoHS, Proposition 65, customer specifications and lists of restricted substances. The data provided within FMDs can be leveraged to satisfy a wide range of existing and emerging compliance objectives, product lifecycle assessments, material footprinting and rare earth elements tracking. Assent provides an easy-to-use FMD generator tool that allows suppliers to create their own IPC-1752A XML material declaration and guides them through the completion of FMDs.
