Health and Safety. This material has a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status indicated by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association for use in flavors and by the Council of Europe for use as a flavor. Benzyl alcohol satisfies the most current guidelines published by (lie International Fragrance Association (IFRA) which governs the use of fragrance materials. 

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. 

The overall RIFM process results in well-documented conclusions that are provided to the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) as the basis...

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) was founded in 1973, in Geneva, to represent the collective interests of the fragrance industry worldwide. IFRA is a Swiss association with a Belgian branch.

The availability of basic ingredients and their prices no doubt decide about the size of business. Most of the big multinational companies are no doubt active in most of the important cities in the world, either they have manufacturing bases or offices. For example, major players that are active in aroma chemicals have built their factories in various parts of the world in order to meet the local demands. Today the fragrance business worldwide is represented by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) which was originally comprised of 14 member countries (Table 10.3).

Identification of these suspected allergens according to the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) official method [60] relies on a combination of retention time and ratio of selected ions acquired in selected ion monitoring mode. A single m/z channel is used for quantification, and the ratio of this ion with two additional characteristic is used for identification confirmation... 

Different organizations such as the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials and the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) have been formed by the industry and have an important role in consumer protection. They carry out research on ingredients used in fragrances in order to ensure the safety of perfumery materials. Recent studies on criteria for safety evaluation are particularly interesting.

Scent is one of the most powerful of senses. This phrase can be read in the website of one of the more remarkable associations related to perfumes, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), and we are aU aware that this is true. Scent can alter mood, stress, or pain. We are not always aware of them, but odors are around us all the time and affect our daily life. People, food, plants, and everything have a particular odor, and we even add aromatic substances to many other things. Cosmetic products, such as shampoos, deodorants, soaps, and fine fragrances, or household products such as laundry detergents, cleaners, and bleaches contain perfumes (Fig. 107.1) which are responsible for their characteristic odors. Moreover, we sometimes scent the air with air fresheners or fragrance candles. 

The SIM approach was fully reconsidered by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), which proposed a method that can be used as a reference in the laboratories of the fragrance industry to determine PASs in fragrance concentrates (IFRA, 2003 Chaintreau et al, 2003). The GC separation was optimized and three ions per analyte were used to help identify the analyte one of them for quantification, and the other two as qualifiers. For a compound eluting in the expected, pre-defined retention window, its identity is checked by comparing its ion abundance ratios with those of a reference compound using the value Q (see equation 6.2.1). When its value is at least equal to 90, the analyte is considered as being positively identified.
