A comprehensive guide to Full Material Declarations (FMD) and use in sustainability compliance


A Full Material Declaration (FMD) is a detailed list of all the materials used in the production of a product, including the concentrations of any substances present. This information is typically used to ensure compliance with regulatory thresholds for substances that may be harmful to human health or the environment.


An FMD typically includes information on the materials used in each layer of a product, as well as any additives or substances that may be present. For example, a laptop manufacturer might provide an FMD for their products that lists the materials used in the plastic housing, the circuit board, and the display, as well as any substances that may be present in these materials at concentrations above regulatory thresholds.


To ensure compliance with these regulatory thresholds, manufacturers and suppliers can use a tool like Cloudsyte, a Sustainability Compliance software, to manage and track their FMDs. This software makes it easy for manufacturers and suppliers to create and maintain FMDs, and to track changes to the materials used in their products over time.


Using Cloudsyte, manufacturers and suppliers can quickly and easily create FMDs for their products and share them with relevant stakeholders, such as regulators or customers. The software also provides tools for tracking and managing changes to the materials used in a product, making it easy to ensure compliance with regulatory thresholds at all times.


Overall, Full Material Declarations (FMDs) are an important tool for ensuring compliance with regulatory thresholds for substances in products. By using a tool like Cloudsyte, manufacturers and suppliers can easily create and maintain FMDs for their products, ensuring that they are always in compliance with relevant regulations.
