Copper [Cu]
The REACH Copper Consortium is a voluntary initiative managed by the European Copper Institute. The Consortium represents member companies involved in the mining, smelting, refining and recycling of copper. As Secretariat to the REACH Copper Consortium, ECI is acting on behalf of the Lead Registrants for copper and several copper substances for the purposes of REACH. The substances covered by the Consortium are primary and secondary copper metal; slags from copper production, sold as a final product; plus a well-defined series of by-products (intermediates) coming out of the smelting/refining and semi-fabrication processes (See below list and for more information including Letters of Access and classifications, see here).

A separate entity has been leading a consortium for Copper Compounds, that be contacted via their website here.
