IFRA amends again
This article was originally published in The Rose Sheet
Executive Summary
The International Fragrance Association will issue the 42 amendment to its Code of Practice this spring, according to IFRA Scientific Director Matthias Vey. The amendment will establish new standards for the use of 40 to 50 fragrance ingredients based on the association's newly implemented Quantitative Risk Assessment approach for determining dermal sensitization of fragrance materials in consumer products.
