Gene­va, 12 Decem­ber 2025 – The Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion (IFRA) has ope­ned the public con­sul­ta­tion on the latest upda­te to its safe use pro­gram, the IFRA Stan­dards – the fra­gran­ce industry’s risk-based pro­duct ste­wardship sys­tem. The con­sul­ta­tion, focu­sed on the 52^nd Amend­ment to the IFRA Stan­dards, is now under­way and will remain open until 12 June 2026.

The truth is sim­ple: fra­gran­ce safety is not left to chan­ce. It is built into the rules, the tes­ting, the assess­ments and the peo­ple who­se job it is to make sure fra­gran­ced pro­ducts are safe to use every day.

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.

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.

The two-day mee­ting brings regu­la­tors, scien­tists and industry lea­ders together under the the­me Scent con­nec­tions – advan­cing stan­dards and colla­bo­ra­tion across cul­tu­res.
