Executive Summary
International testing laboratory Eurofins Scientific will conduct third round of product testing to ensure compliance with formulation standards in International Fragrance Association's Code of Practice, according to May 5 release. With 8,000 employees across 150 sites in 29 countries, Eurofins offers "an unparalleled range of testing and support services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental and consumer products industries, as well as governments," IFRA says. Eurofins picked up testing early this year where the Institute Battelle Laboratories left off when they closed their Swiss-based test lab, the trade group notes. The fragrance industry has earned perfect marks for the last two years, with "not one single banned ingredient [discovered] above the reliable threshold of detection (0.01%)" (1"The Rose Sheet" June 2, 2008, p. 6). Again this year a combination of 50 fragrance, cosmetic and household products, selected randomly from 10 IFRA member countries, will be analyzed
