R
Requester Product Number / Requester Product Name
Definition
Requester Product Number and Requester Product Name are two new fields added to the Product List tab of CMRT version 6.6 (released April 17, 2026). These fields allow the requesting company (typically a manufacturer or OEM) to pre-populate their own internal product identifiers directly within the template before sending it to suppliers. This enables suppliers to complete the CMRT with the requester’s product reference already embedded, facilitating more accurate matching of supplier declarations to specific products in the requester’s internal systems.

Practical Explanation (Compliance Context)
These fields address a long-standing operational challenge: after bulk CMRT collection, manufacturers must manually reconcile supplier declarations to their own product SKUs. Pre-populating these fields in outbound CMRT requests allows the returned declarations to be automatically matched to internal product records without manual intervention. This is particularly valuable for OEMs managing thousands of components across hundreds of suppliers. Suppliers receiving pre-populated CMRTs should ensure they fill in all requester fields accurately.

Example
An automotive OEM sends CMRT 6.6 to a wire harness supplier, pre-populating Requester Product Number (“AUT-0041872”) and Requester Product Name (“Electrical System Module – Front Door Left”). When the supplier returns the completed CMRT, the OEM’s compliance system automatically matches the declaration to the correct product record without manual lookup.
