Jiangsu Zhongji Lamination Materials Co., Ltd has achieved ASI Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard V2 (2022) Certification for their Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd. facility, located in Anhui, China. The facility attained ASI Performance Standard V3 (2022) Certification (Provisional) in March 2025.
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd. has been successfully certified against the ASI CoC Standard V2 (2022). The facility specialises in producing aluminium plate strips through casting, rolling and cold rolling processes, with an annual production capacity of 60,000 tonnes.
The ASI CoC Standard V2 sets out requirements for the creation of a Chain of Custody for material that is produced and processed through the value chain into diverse downstream sectors. The implementation of ASI’s CoC Standard links verified practices at successive steps of the supply chain – certified under the ASI Performance Standard – to the materials produced by ASI Certified Entities. The CoC Standard also confirms that appropriate policies and due diligence processes are in place to identify and address critical issues, such as corruption, human rights abuses, materials originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in the supply chain and support responsible sourcing.
The independent, third-party audit of the Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd. facility was carried out by DNV Business Assurance Services UK Ltd. A full listing of audit findings outlining evidence of conformances is available from page 5 of the summary audit report, linked below. Three minor non-conformances were identified during the Chain of Custody Certification audit under Criterion 5.2 Unique Identification, 7.2 Risk Assessment and Mitigation and 9.5 Verification of Information. During the Certification periods, Anhui Maximum Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd. will implement a corrective action plan, which will be verified in follow-up audits.
