适用范围 Scope of Application：
本《指南》适用于矿产供应链上所有开采、供应、采购或加工矿产的中国企业，这些企业包括所有参与矿产供应链上游企业（如勘探、采选、冶炼、加工、贸易，以及从储运到加工之间的环节）和下游使用矿产及相关产品的企业（如电子电器、仪器仪表、首饰加工制造、通讯器材等），但服务提供商除外(例如运输方、仓库、包装供应商等）。
本《指南》中的“中国企业”包括在中国注册的以营利为目的的法律实体，以及由中国所有或控股的境外企业。此外，其他国家的企业也可使用本《指南》作为开展尽责管理，以此来预防和缓解不利影响的指导性文件，并为社会福祉、环境保护和经济发展作出积极贡献。

标准简介 Introduction of this standard：
2015年，中国五矿化工进出口商会（CCCMC）与经济合作与发展组织（OECD）合作编制了第一版《中国负责任矿产供应链尽责管理指南》，旨在帮助采掘和/或使用矿产资源及其产品，以及在任何一个环节参与矿产供应链的企业识别、防范和缓解风险，避免直接或间接造成严重的人权侵犯、冲突、环境破坏、损害商业道德等不利影响的发生。在参考《经济合作与发展组织关于来自受冲突影响和高风险区域的矿石的负责任供应链尽职调查指南》（第三版），以及国际可持续标准联盟（ISEAL Alliance）《可持续标准良好制定规范》基础上，对第一版《中国负责任矿产供应链尽责管理指南》进行审阅和修订。
第二版指南的名称精炼为《中国矿产供应链尽责管理指南》（简称为“本《指南》”）在结构和内容上均发生了较大变化。本《指南》增加了尽责管理的十项特征，同时为了将众多矿产社会责任要求和利益相关方期望汇集到本《指南》，本《指南》以《经济合作与发展组织关于来自受冲突影响和高风险区域的矿石的负责任供应 链尽职调查指南》（第三版）为主要参考，并细化了对企业尽责管理的要求，同时参考《工商业与人权：实施联合国“保护、尊重和补救”框架指导原则》、《经济合作与发展组织负责任商业行为尽责管理指南》，在此基础上补充了第六步骤“实时提供 条件或开展合作开展补救”，从而使得尽责管理的过程更加完整，确保供应链风险治理的“标本兼治”。此外，本《指南》还响应了近几年国际社会在供应链尽责管理领域的发展趋势以及行业企业实践经验，参考了欧盟《冲突矿产法规》（2017/821）、 美国《多德弗兰克法案》（1502节）的相关要求、伦敦金属交易所（LME）《负责任采购政策》，并吸收了其他相关标准、规则和倡议的核心内容，致力于推动标准之间的一致性与协调性。本《指南》还完善和补充了一类风险（与“受冲突影响和高风险 区域”相关的风险）、二类风险（与社会、环境和经济相关的风险）的相关内容。
In 2015, the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters (CCCMC) developed the first edition of Chinese Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains in cooperation with OECD, which aims to support to companies which are extracting and/or using mineral resources and their related products, and are engaged at any point in the mineral supply chain, to identify, prevent, and mitigate their risks of directly or indirectly contributing to serious human rights abuses, conflict, environmental damage, damage to business ethics and other adverse impacts. The CCCMC reviewed and revised the first edition of the Chinese Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains with reference to the 3rd Edition of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains, and the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Setting Sustainability Standards (ISEAL Alliance).
In the second edition, the name has been simplified into Chinese Due Diligence Chinese Guidelines for Mineral Supply Chains (referred to as the Chinese Guidelines), and major changes in terms of structure and content have been made. This Chinese Guidelines added ten characteristics of due diligence. At the same time, in order to incorporate many scattered and fragmented social responsibility requirements and stakeholder expectations into this Chinese Guidelines, by using the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas (Third Edition) as main reference, it specified the due diligence requirements for enterprises. Meanwhile, Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework and OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct are referred, and Step six “Provide for or cooperate in remediation when appropriate” is added, so that the due diligence process is more complete, also to address "both the symptoms and root causes" of supply chain risk governance. In addition, this Chinese Guidelines also responds to the development and trend of the international community in the field of supply chain due diligence in recent years, with reference to relevant requirements of the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation (2017/821), the US Dodd-Frank Act (section 1502). Furthermore, other relevant standards, rules and initiatives have been studied to ensure integration and consistency. This Chinese Guidelines also refined and enriched the Type 1 Risks (risks related to conflict-affected and high-risk areas) and Type 2 risks (risks related to social, environmental, and the economic issues).
