E1M-X V2N Conflict Minerals Declaration
1 Declaration
Alp Lab AB is committed to the responsible sourcing of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) used in the E1M-X V2N System-on-Module (base variant). Alp Lab's exposure is entirely downstream, through the electronic components in the module. Diligence is aligned with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), reported via the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).
2 Scope & Regulatory Framework
Covers the assembled E1M-X V2N module (base variant). Addresses conflict-minerals obligations under US Dodd-Frank §1502, EU Conflict Minerals Reg. (EU) 2017/821, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, and the RMI CMRT / RMAP.
3 3TG Content Analysis
Derived from the released BOM and the Pb-free SAC assembly.
| Mineral | Present | Primary source | Where in the module |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tin (Sn) | Yes | SAC solder + terminations | Assembly solder and tin-plated terminations of every placement — board-wide |
| Gold (Au) | Yes | Finishes + bond wires | IC/SoC bond wires; BGA/QFN/WLCSP finishes; gold-plated connector contacts |
| Tungsten (W) | Trace | IC die metallization | Tungsten plugs/vias inside IC silicon; via supplier CMRT |
| Tantalum (Ta) | No | — | Not intentionally present — all decoupling is ceramic MLCC; no tantalum capacitors in the BOM |
Key simplification: the V2N contains no tantalum (all ceramic MLCC decoupling). The tantalum row is declared "not contained". Tin and gold are the materially-present 3TG; tungsten is trace. The lithium supercapacitor (RTC backup) and the LPDDR/flash devices contain no tantalum.
4 Due-Diligence Approach
Alp Lab cascades the CMRT request to suppliers and aggregates declared smelters: collect a current RMI CMRT from each supplier (Section 5); aggregate the declared Sn/W/Au smelters; screen each against the RMI RMAP conformant-smelter list; report on the RMI CMRT XLSX, re-issued as data and the RMAP list change.
5 Supplier CMRT Collection Basis
The module smelter list is a roll-up of supplier CMRTs. Tantalum-only sources are not applicable (no tantalum). Every supplier is a potential tin source; IC/SoC/ connector suppliers are gold sources.

Most suppliers publish a company-level RMI CMRT on their compliance/CSR pages. Sources maintained in supplier-cmrt-index.md.
6 Declaration Level
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Company (default) | A single Alp Lab AB CMRT across all products. Lower maintenance, recommended. |
| Product | A CMRT scoped to the V2N smelter roll-up. Available on request. |
7 Smelter / Refiner List
Pending supplier CMRT collection. The aggregated Sn/W/Au smelter list — each with its RMI Standard Smelter ID and RMAP conformance status — is populated here once the supplier CMRTs in Section 5 are received. The tantalum section is declared not contained.
8 Limitations
- Downstream declaration — only as complete as the supplier CMRTs aggregated.
- Per-revision / periodic re-issue — on BOM change and as RMAP/CMRTs update.
- XLSX is the formal artifact — this document is the companion statement.
