REXPAN

The Expert Panel of RIFM (REXPAN) is composed by toxicologists, pharmacologists and dermatologists who have no commercial ties to the fragrance industry, and whose work involves the safety evaluation of fragrance materials under conditions of intended use. Their evaluations are based on existing data or, where insufficient data exist, on testing performed by RIFM itself.

Besides the evaluations performed by the Panel of Experts, an important step in maintaining credibility involves the publication of its findings and conclusions in a peer-reviewed and accredited scientific journal.
