Self Assessing

Self-assessment—using IRMA’s Mine Measure tool to evaluate the mine against the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining—is the first step in IRMA’s independent assessment process.

Mines engage in self-assessment as a first step on the IRMA journey.  The following table shows the mines who are conducting self-assessments using IRMA’s Mine Measure tool, and who have agreed to share publicly that they are doing so.

Piloting Self-Assessments

Operations in colored rows are piloting self-assessments for IRMA draft standards (e.g. IRMA Ready). Until those draft standards are finalized, these operations cannot move to independent assessment.
