Citrics REACH consortium
The manufacturers of Citric acid compounds join efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched in January 2009 their Citrics REACH consortium.
Consortium description
Through the Citrics REACH consortium, the manufacturers have decided to join efforts to prepare a consistent registration dossier building on the experience gained during the OECD/HPV program. The project management and secretariat of the consortium will be handled by ReachCentrum.

Exposure assessment and risk characterisation are required by REACH when a substance meets the criteria for classification as 'dangerous’ under Directive 67/548 - know as CLP Regulation - or meets PBT/vPvB criteria. Therefore, no exposure scenarios, nor detailed use mapping is required for the following citrates:
- Trisodium citrate, EC No. 200-675-3
- Monosodium citrate, EC No. 242-734-6
- Tripotassium citrate, EC No. 212-755-5
- Tricalcium citrate, EC No. 212-391-7
- Trimagnesium citrate, EC No. 222-093-9
Use mapping and exposure scenarios were prepared for the following substances:
- Citric acid, EC No. 201-069-1
- Trizinc dicitrate, EC No. 208-901-2
