The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) will celebrate 50 years of participation in scientific research and regulations at a special annual meeting—Communicating the Science of Safe Scent—on Sept. 22 at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, New York.
RIFM was formed as a nonprofit corporation in 1966. Its purpose is to gather and analyze scientific data, engage in testing and evaluation, distribute information, cooperate with official agencies and to encourage uniform safety standards related to the use of fragrance ingredients. The RIFM Database of flavor and fragrance materials, the world’s largest, classifies more than 5000 materials. The database is available online, 24/7, by subscription. RIFM’s Database also houses an online collection of Flavor/Fragrance Ingredient Data Sheets (FFIDS) from 1985-2014 that may provide compliance assistance. RIFM’s research is reviewed by an independent Expert Panel, which is an international group of dermatologists, pathologists, toxicologists, and environmental and respiratory scientists. Their conclusions form the basis for the Standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA)
