The CRMA assessment concept used to evaluate vulnerability of EU raw-material supply, distinct from supplier due-diligence or procurement scoring.
Supply risk explains why material identity may become policy-relevant. It belongs to the CRMA material-assessment method and should be kept separate from operational supplier performance, country-risk notes, and human-rights or environmental due-diligence findings.
The EU Critical Raw Materials Act uses supply risk in the critical-material assessment framework. The concept should be tied to the methodology and assessment context rather than converted into a generic risk score inside a product record. In CRMA context, supply risk is calculated in line with Annex II, Section 2, not a generic supplier-risk score. North America critical-minerals context: U.S. sources use designation/list logic under 30 U.S.C. § 1606 and the Federal Register 2022 list; Canada Income Tax Act section 127.49 uses qualifying material and qualifying mineral activity for a tax-credit context. Keep these source layers separate from EU CRMA critical/strategic raw material and EU conflict-minerals definitions.

Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with CRMA raw-material priority policy: source-bound category boundaries, concrete implementation objects, and evidence-focused commentary.
Implementation records should capture methodology reference, material record, risk indicator, assessment date, source version, scoring basis where available, related critical-material status, and links to supplier, country, or due-diligence records only when those links are explicitly supported.
Supply risk is a bridge between material classification and risk evidence. It should be connected to CRMA material status while staying separated from supplier-level due diligence and procurement scoring so passports do not overstate what the CRMA category proves.
