The IP REACH consortium has been established by Inorganic Phosphates manufacturers. The Secretariat of the Inorganic Phosphates consortium is contracted to ReachCentrum.

Consortium description
The Consortium for REACH Registration of Inorganic Phosphates - the IP REACH Consortium - was established in November 2008, following one year of preparatory work, as announced on the ECHA website during the Pre-Registration phase.

Substances
The IP REACH Consortium covers a range of inorganic phosphates (around 40 substances) including phosphoric acid and phosphates, polyphosphates and pyrophosphates of:

• sodium,
• potassium,
• calcium,
• iron,
• magnesium,
• manganese,
• copper,
• fluoride, 
• boron,
• aluminium.

This Consortium does not cover Sodium Tri Poly Phosphate (STPP), for which a separate consortium - the STPP REACH consortium - has already been established and the Registration Dossier successfully submitted. A number of fertiliser phosphates are not covered by the IP REACH Consortium, but by the FARM consortium. Zinc phosphates are covered not by IP but by the ZincReach consortium. The IP REACH Consortium is cooperating with these and other consortia to optimise data exchange and read-across.

Membership
The IP REACH consortium was established by six European manufacturers of one or more of the above substances. Further companies have since joined the Consortium and the list of Members is currently as indicated below. This consortium is open to manufacturers/ importers/ only representatives as defined in the REACH Regulation of one or more of the consortium substances, on their own, in preparations or in articles, and who are subject to the registration requirements pursuant to the REACH Regulation, or Affiliates thereof, according to the conditions defined in the Consortium Agreement (see next page).
