Conflict Minerals
The global trade volume in the heavy equipment and machinery industries in 2012 and 2013 was approximately 1 trillion dollars with the United States and China being the largest single markets. Germany is the worldĀ“s largest exporter (16.3%), followed by China (11.7%) and the US (11.4%). A variety of materials are used in these products produced in these industries, and many of the materials require material compliance reporting.


CDX is a ready to use service. Companies can immediately start collecting materials information from their suppliers. Recognizing that material compliance is a dynamic area with ongoing additions to the hazardous material lists, there is no need to wait for the ideal list of substances to be reported. With CDX it's easy to start collecting data now and to run updates when necessary.
The REACH Article 33 decision is already reflected within CDX, further showing the outstanding functionality of CDX.

CDX Program for AEM
The purpose of the CDX program has been to provide an opportunity for selected AEM member companies and their suppliers to use CDX in a low volume production capacity and obtain real world experience and practical lessons learned. Since the start of the CDX program several AEM members have become more actively involved and have defined several important best practices.
No GADSL in CDX and agreement on declaration scope:
Leveraging IMDS experience and previously collected product declarations is beneficial, yet there are some key differences that require modified methodologies. As an example: in IMDS, the detail level is always 100 % declaration, and the declarable substances are always GADSL. In CDX, various industries accept multiple detail levels, and are concerned with a wider range of regulations. The CDX MDS Request permits clients to communicate their specific requirements all in one IT solution.
AEM Specific DSL: There should be an AEM industries specific substance declaration list to facilitate alignment across AEM on regulatory compliances. Leveraging GADSL and tailoring it to AEM Industries.
Agreement within the participants that 100 % declaration is desired. A partial declaration may be permitted while the supply chain develops 100 % declaration capability.
Clients have expectations regarding supplier submissions, therefore, a data guide is necessary to help supplier understand what customers expect them to do. An AEM Data Guide Rules and Guidelines; first version of this document has been made available (see the link).
