IFRA Standards

The IFRA Standards are at the heart of the fragrance industry's product stewardship program, promoting fragrance ingredient safety in consumer products. Obligatory for IFRA members, these Standards, alongside the IFRA Code of Practice, are based on scientific safety assessments prepared by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) that are validated by an independent expert panel . 

The 51st Amendment, introduced in June 2023, added 59 new Standards, bringing the total to 263. It also adjusted implementation timelines, with full implementation expected by October 2025. Preparations for the 52nd Amendment are underway, with its announcement expected in 2026.
