Brussels, 4 October 2010 – On September 17th, Aurubis AG, based in Hamburg, acting as the Lead Registrant, successfully submitted the Joint Submission REACH dossier for copper to the European Chemical Agency.

This successfully completes a three year effort, led by the European Copper Institute, to unite the key players in the global and European copper industries in preparing a single dossier for this widely used metal.

Other potential copper registrants, who wish to benefit from this successful submission, are invited to apply to ECI for a Letter of Access.
