IFRA joins industry coalition in Philippines regulatory dialogue

The new regu­la­tion crea­tes a stand-alo­ne legal fra­me­work for ECHA and incor­po­ra­tes the Scien­ti­fic Com­mit­tee on Con­su­mer Safety (SCCS) into the agency

The Euro­pean Com­mis­sion has con­fir­med it will not pur­sue a full legis­la­ti­ve overhaul of REACH (Regis­tra­tion, Eva­lua­tion, Autho­ri­sa­tion and Res­tric­tion of Che­mi­cals), a deci­sion IFRA wel­co­mes as pro­vi­ding much nee­ded cer­tainty for the fra­gran­ce industry.

The Euro­pean Che­mi­cals Agency (ECHA) Risk Assess­ment Com­mit­tee (RAC) adop­ted an Opi­nion at its 77^th Ple­nary mee­ting, held in June 2026, clas­sif­ying l‑Carvone (EC 229−352−5, CAS 6485−40−1) and spear­mint oil (EC -, CAS 8008−79−5) as Toxic for Repro­duc­tion Cate­gory 2 (Repr. 2; H361d).
