AFNOR normalisation

The national organizations are often relayed into each profession by a body created and financed by this profession and which undertakes all or part of the work in preparing the standards. In the petroleum industry, this role is carried out in France by the BNPet (Bureau de Normalisation du Petrole) and in Germany by the FAM (Fachausschuss Mineralol-und Brennstoffnormung), in the United Kingdom by the IP (Institute of Petroleum), and in the USA by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). In the first two cases, the standards are published only by the national organizations (AFNOR and DIN respectively), while the IP and the ASTM also publish their own documents, only some of which are adopted by the BSI and ANSI, respectively. 

For standardised instrumental analytical methods, i.e. biomarkers, biosensors and bioassays, there are well-established standard protocols on the national level, e.g. under Association Francaise de Normalisation (AFNOR), British Standard Institute (BSI), DIN (German Organisation for Standardisation), etc., and all those standards are formed by ISO-Working Groups and by validation studies into ISO - and CEN - Standards. Normal accredited and well-qualified laboratories should be able to perform the monitoring. 

This chapter will look at the composition of a number of popular aromatherapy materials. There is a lot of published data describing chemical compositions. This can be found in varying degrees of complexity in the aromatherapy books and, additionally, from a number of bodies such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials), IFRA (International Fragrance Association), AFNOR (Association Franchise de Normalisation) and the BP (British Pharmacopoeia). 

The organizations encountered when examining the composition of essential oils include the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Association Francaise de Normalisation (AFNOR) and the British Pharmacopoeia (BP). There is some overlap between recommendations for usage and safety by these bodies. The background and roles of RIFM and IFRA are described in the next chapter in relation to safety.

In Germany the Standards Committee of German Industry was formed in 1917, This became the Deutscher Normenausschuss, and finally the Deutsches Institut fiir Normung (DIN). In the United States the American Standards Engineering Committee, later to become the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), was established in 1918. In France, the Permanent Standardization Committee was formed in 1918. eventually to become the Association frangaise de normalisation (AFNOR).

For testing plastics, a wide spectrum of national standards have been practiced worldwide— for instance, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards in the United States, Deutsches Institut fiir Normung (DIN) in Germany British Standards Institution (BSI) standards in the United Kingdom, Association Fran aise de Normalisation (AFNOR) standards in France, and Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) in Japan (Fig. 11.2).
