Full Material Disclosures (FMD)

A full material declaration (FMD), also known as a full material disclosure, is a comprehensive list of substances within a particular product or material. Assent uses FMDs to help you deep-map the complex manufacturing genome.

Secure Compliance Using Full Material Declarations

An FMD provides full transparency into the substances that make up a product. These disclosures show product composition, including substance concentration, and whether they exceed regulatory thresholds. But this data is often difficult to collect from suppliers due to language barriers, incorrect or outdated contact information, and/or inconsistent parts numbers.

Grow Better With Full Material Declarations

Repeated supply chain queries to update material declarations as restricted or declarable substance lists change requires internal resources to dedicate their time to data collection rather than the jobs they were hired to do. With FMDs, identifying if a product contains a restricted substance takes minutes instead of hundreds of hours.

Assent’s Full Material Disclosure Solution Is the Answer

Assent simplifies FMD collection with a solution built specifically for the world’s most complex manufacturing supply chains. Our approach creates full supply chain transparency, preventing the need for repeated supplier queries when restricted or declarable substance lists change. Assent also streamlines supply chain outreach by using our dedicated Supplier Portal.

Improve Supply Chain Transparency

Deep visibility into product composition preemptively addresses delays in material sourcing by supporting quick action when substances are made unavailable or regulated.

Automate Supply Chain Queries

Prevent the need for repeated supply chain queries to update material declarations by simplifying supply chain outreach and collecting complete parts and supplier data at regular intervals, rather than on an as-needed basis.

Be Strategic With Internal Resources

Reassign internal resources to revenue-boosting activities rather than data collection.
