Are you fully complying with IFRA Standards?
It has already been three and a half years since the major change in assessment, publication and reporting of IFRA Standards has occurred. With the publication of IFRA’s 40th Amendment in May 2006 came a required overhaul of regulatory systems for reviewing, greater project specificity for end product identification, and training for more than just the Regulatory and Perfumery departments.
Vanillin Standard on HoldVANILLIN (CAS# 121-33-5) - IFRA 44th Amendment Standard –
Temporarily on Hold
The implementation of the IFRA 44th Amendment Standard for VANILLIN has been placed on hold due to evidence indicating higher Category limits may be supported. IFRA is taking appropriate measures to clarify if a revision of Category allowable amounts is warranted. Do not disregard efforts you may have already achieved. This is only a temporary suspension until further data is obtained and reviewed. The Standard for vanillin will not be eliminated but republished at a later date.
