Developments in IFRA's
Transparency consultancy

Transparency and consultation in standards development
A specific revision within the IFRA Standards
Opening the process and strengthening trust
Matthias Vey, Vice-President Scientific Affairs at IFRA, highlights the Association’s continued efforts to strengthen transparency and stakeholder involvement in the development of IFRA Standards.
In recent years, key documents supporting the Standards such as methodologies and RIFM safety assessments have been made publicly accessible, improving understanding of how scientific and product stewardship decisions are reached.
Central to this approach is IFRA’s Consultation process, through which proposed Standards and supporting materials are shared globally with members and stakeholders for feedback prior to finalisation. This open and inclusive approach is currently being applied to the 52nd Amendment, reinforcing IFRA’s long-standing commitment to transparency, collaboration and trust.
