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 But this data is often difficult to collect from suppliers due to language barriers, incorrect or outdated contact information, and/or inconsistent parts numbers.
Our Customers
Assent has helped hundreds of companies. We’re proud to work with the following organizations.
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.
