ASI Aluminium Stewardship Certificate

Material origin

Facilities in the aluminium supply chain were independently audited against ASI's Performance Standard (environmental, social, and governance practices from bauxite mining through smelting and fabrication); an additional Chain of Custody certificate allows material produced through certified facilities to be sold as ASI Aluminium.

What it proves

What it does not prove

That the aluminium in a specific product is low-carbon — Performance Standard certification is not a carbon footprint claim.
Recycled content claims — ASI certification is independent of recycled content percentage.
Material-flow claims from a Performance Standard certificate alone — only Chain of Custody certification links certified facilities to the metal in a product.

Evidence checklist

Minimum authority: Third-party verified
Should state: Standard Type · Certified Entity · Certification Scope · Certificate Number · Valid Until
Date sensitivity: Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Always distinguish the two ASI standards: Performance Standard certifies how facilities operate; Chain of Custody certifies where the metal flowed.

A supplier's ASI membership is not certification — check for an actual certificate and its scope.
