The consortium for REACH Registration of STPP (sodium tripolyphosphate) was established in early 2008, following over a year of preparatory work, as announced on the ECHA website during the Pre-Registration phase. The Secretariat is entrusted to ReachCentrum.

Consortium description
The STPP REACH consortium has now completed the IUCLID5 file and CSR Dossier (technical work done by Safepharm / Harlan, UK), ready for Joint Submission for STPP Registration. This finished dossier is currently submitted to the Cefic-ECHA “dossier testing” process, which is expected to be ended by approximately March 2009. After this “testing”, and once the ECHA computer system allows this, the STPP Joint Registration will be formally submitted to ECHA. The competed STPP dossier concludes that no new or further studies are needed for Registration.

Substance
