QRA Impact on the IFRA Certificate

<strong>QRA</strong> DERMAL SENSITIZATION
PROPOSED PRODUCT CATEGORIES
From the 40 th Amendment on, IFRA Standards for
sensitizing fragrance ingredients are based on the
<strong>QRA</strong> (Quantitative Risk Assessment) concept
In practice this means an increased number of
product categories with individual limitations
(restrictions).
Grouping product types according to similar SAFs
(Safety Assessment Factors) and exposure,
which lead to similar acceptable use levels of a
fragrance ingredient, resulted in 11 product
categories in the IFRA Standards based on the
<strong>QRA</strong>.
