This year marks the 20^th anni­ver­sary of the Euro­pean Part­nership for Alter­na­ti­ve Approa­ches to Ani­mal Tes­ting (EPAA). Its Annual Con­fe­ren­ce this year was a sig­ni­fi­cant miles­to­ne in pro­mo­ting inno­va­ti­ve, huma­ne, and scien­ti­fi­cally robust alter­na­ti­ves to ani­mal tes­ting for regu­la­tory scien­ce. IFRA was proud to par­ti­ci­pa­te in the events, con­tri­bu­ting to dis­cus­sions that sha­pe the futu­re of scien­ce-dri­ven and sus­tai­na­ble safety assessments.

Brus­sels, 6 Novem­ber 2025 – The Euro­pean Council’s Gene­ral Approach on the Che­mi­cals Omni­bus (Omni­bus VI) Regu­la­tion has mis­sed the chan­ce to sim­plify pro­vi­sions of the Cos­me­tics Pro­ducts Regu­la­tion and tac­kle long-las­ting com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness hurd­les iden­ti­fied by the industry whi­le main­tai­ning the highest con­su­mer safety stan­dards. This out­co­me risks undoing pro­gress towards a clea­rer and more pre­dic­ta­ble sys­tem. The cos­me­tics, fra­gran­ce and essen­tial oil indus­tries are deeply con­cer­ned by this outcome.

The Euro­pean Part­nership for Alter­na­ti­ve Approa­ches to Ani­mal Tes­ting (EPAA) has cele­bra­ted its 20^th anni­ver­sary, high­ligh­ting two deca­des of joint work bet­ween the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion and industry to advan­ce scien­ce-based, ani­mal-free tes­ting methods.

IFRA sup­ports the reform of the Euro­pean Che­mi­cals Agency (ECHA) whi­le empha­si­zing the impor­tan­ce of main­tai­ning inde­pen­dent and expert advi­ce on cos­me­tics safety.

IFRA con­tri­bu­ted to the Euro­pean Commission’s con­sul­ta­tion on the revi­sed Safe and Sus­tai­na­ble by Design (SSbD) fra­me­work, empha­si­zing the need for cla­rity and prac­ti­ca­lity for com­plex ingre­dients such as fragrances.
