Critical (and non-critical) raw materials factsheets

Definition: Criticality is a screening tool to highlight issues of concern which can subsequently be followed up with more detailed studies and assessments. The results of criticality assessments should therefore be considered a call for attention, not a source of 'panic'. In such a context, it is very unlikely that all aspects that could influence criticality can be included in a screening methodology, while keeping the calculation equations short, simple, and objective. For the above reasons, the EC has developed single raw materials factsheets, where the detailed information and data used in the 2011, 2014 and 2017 CRMs lists are available in a structured and systematic form. Raw materials factsheets equally bring together further information and data that third parties might want to use in their ad hoc criticality assessments.
