Steel & Metals
Metals are the test case for the EU’s new evidence regime: your emissions, your alloy composition and your smelters all have to be traceable to the installation that made the goods.
TRADE LANE
Non-EU mill or service centre selling coil, bar, section or castings into EU importers and manufacturers.
FIRST THING THAT BREAKS
An EPD is sent where CBAM asks for monitored actuals from one named installation.
REGULATIONS THAT REACH YOU
What each of these wants from you.
Your sector is a starting point, not a determination. Which regulations reach a company depends on its products — that is what the platform works out.
They ask overlapping questions — composition once, emissions once — but each one names a different artifact and a different signer.
CBAMMonitored actual emissions per tonne, per installation and production route, with an accredited verifier’s statement.OPEN →REACHAlloying and coating substances screened against the SVHC candidate list, at 0.1% w/w on the article.OPEN →ESPR / DPPSteel is named in the first working plan — expect a digital product passport carrying composition and recycled content.OPEN →Conflict MineralsTin, tungsten and tantalum in alloys and coatings: smelter list and origin, confirmed when a buyer invites you.OPEN →Scope 3A per-tonne product footprint with a stated method your buyer can put in its own value-chain reporting.OPEN →
ON THE GROUND
Four things a mill hits in the first month.
01Emissions live in the plant, not the sales fileFuel, reductant and process logs sit with production; the buyer asks the commercial team.
02One product, several production routesThe same CN code made on two routes has two emission figures — and they cannot be averaged.
03Scrap content is an answer to three questionsRecycled input feeds CBAM, ESPR and the buyer’s Scope 3 — usually collected three times.
04Alloy specs were never written for regulatorsTrace elements are stated as ranges; REACH and Conflict Minerals need them as facts.
IN THE PLATFORM
Exposure for one steel supplier.
