The interview
Transparency and consultation in standards development
Opening the process and strengthening trust
Matthias Vey highlights IFRA’s continued efforts to strengthen transparency and stakeholder involvement in the development of the IFRA Standards. In recent years, key supporting documents such as methodologies and RIFM safety assessments have been made public, improving understanding of how scientific and product stewardship decisions are reached.
Central to this approach is IFRA’s consultation process, which shares proposed Standards and supporting materials with Members and stakeholders around the world for feedback before they are finalized. This open, inclusive approach is now being applied to the 52nd Amendment, reinforcing IFRA’s long-standing commitment to transparency, collaboration and trust.
