A CRMA risk event term for an unexpected significant decrease in raw-material availability or significant price increase beyond normal market volatility.
Supply disruption is the CRMA event concept for raw-material availability or price shocks. It points to a disruption in material availability or abnormal price movement, not a routine procurement delay, ordinary supplier underperformance, forecast uncertainty, or normal commodity-market volatility.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 24. The definition has two triggers: unexpected significant decrease in availability of a raw material, or significant price increase beyond normal market price volatility. It should stay tied to raw-material evidence rather than general operational risk language.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
the unexpected significant decrease in the availability of a raw material or significant increase in the price of a raw material beyond normal market price volatility

Public draft page. EU Critical Raw Materials Act direct definition; keep source-specific and avoid treating it as a generic global supply-chain concept.
Use this term when records need to distinguish an actual or anticipated disruption event from everyday procurement management. Relevant evidence can include affected material identity, availability indicators, price movement, supplier or region exposure, strategic stock context, and mitigation strategies prepared by the economic operator.
The useful distinction is between ordinary supply-chain friction and a disruption that changes resilience planning. Minespider can connect supply-disruption records to material identity, sourcing routes, strategic stock decisions, and mitigation actions so teams can explain why a risk response was triggered rather than treating every delay as a regulatory disruption.
