Platts invites feedback on nonferrous metals specifications guide

As part of its commitment to open and transparent pricing and product specifications, S&P Global Platts would like to invite feedback on its nonferrous metals specifications guide, effective May 5, 2021, and through May 26, 2021.

Platts reviews all methodologies and specifications guides annually to ensure they continue to reflect the physical markets under assessment.

Platts regularly assesses the relevance of methodologies and specifications guides through continuous contact with the market.

Feedback on methodologies and specifications is always welcomed by Platts.

Platts is committed to providing advance notice in a clear time frame that gives users sufficient opportunity to analyze and comment on the impact of such proposed changes.

Time frames vary depending on Platts analysis of the overall circumstances of a particular change.

Methodology and specifications changes that materially alter an assessment and require an update to the methodology specification are preceded by extensive bilateral discussions with market stakeholders and open public forums.

Routine changes or clarifications generally do not materially alter an assessment.

Platts holds open public forums in which material methodology changes and feedback are presented, and at which further feedback may be given.

Please send all comments, feedback, and questions to PL_Metals_Editorial@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com.

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing.

Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
