On 30 June 2023, the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) notified the 51st amendment to its Standards. 28 months later, on 30 October 2025, the new Standards of specifications and restrictions come into force for existing creations.
This 51st amendment introduced 59 new features, including 1 new Specification Standard and 46 new Restriction Standards (see the full list in the article IFRA notifies 51st amendment to its Standards, CosmeticOBS, 17 July 2023).
These new provisions must be complied with by IFRA members, who have set deadlines for compliance. For existing creations, the deadline has been set at 28 months, expiring on 30 October.
With this final step, the 51st amendment to the IFRA Standards is now fully applicable.
Reminder: an existing creation is a compound currently sold or already the subject of evaluation for performance in a defined consumer product. The period of time permitted for achieving compliance with a new or revised Standard applies only to that compound in that defined consumer product.
