Valid: It has been verified as a smelter/refiner by a third-party such as the CFSI, or independently by Assent.
Invalid: It has been confirmed not to be a 3TG smelter/refiner.
Undetermined: It is a new entry that is not confirmed as Valid or Invalid. These profiles require further investigation via our research and outreach program. The conclusion of this process is the candidate smelter being labeled Valid or Invalid.
When a candidate smelter entry is received from an industry organization or by supplier submission on a CMRT, the first step is to cross-reference the incoming data against existing profiles in the Assent Database for a match based on indicators such as: unique smelter ID (CID#), metal, facility location and name.
If a match is found in the database, the duplicate information is merged into one accurate profile.
If no matching profile exists, one is created and populated with information gathered by the Smelter Team. The profile is then analyzed and assigned a status of Valid, Invalid or Undetermined.
