The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has officially issued the 46th Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice as part of the industry’s ongoing safety program.
There are six new restrictive Standards based on the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and one new Standard prohibiting the use of 2,4-Octadienal.
IFRA has also withdrawn the Standard for Vanillin, which was first put in place with the 44th Amendment. This Standard was put on hold on 1st December, 2009, has now been officially withdrawn. Following the Vanillin Standard’s notification additional information was submitted, which allowed for a re-evaluation of the material. After further additional testing and a critical evaluation of all available data today, IFRA has decided to withdraw the Standard and not set a revised Standard.

- Annex 1 to the IFRA Standards which has been updated with contributions from other sources for o-Methoxycinnamaldehyde and Safranal
