The Standard is based on long-term systemic effects and will therefore have a wider range of product type limitations as follows:
Fine fragrance: 0.02%
Eau de toilette: 0.008%
Fragrancing cream: 0.004%
Other leave on: 0.0004%
Rinse-off: 0.001%
Non skin (as defined in the introduction to the Standards): 0.02%
Other non cosmetic products not covered above: 0.001%
The limitations apply to Methyleugenol (ME) originating from all sources. Contributions from essential oils can be significant. Names of essential oils, which should also be considered in the application of the Standard, are given below. Maximum percentage of the reference material is included for use when no analytical data is available.

(1) IFRA would recommend that any material used to impart perfume or flavour in products intended for human ingestion should consist of ingredients that are in compliance with appropriate regulations for foods and food flavourings in the countries of planned distribution and, where these are lacking, with the recommendations laid down in the Code of Practice of IOFI (International Organisation of the Flavor Industry - www.iofiorg.org)
(2) Category 11 includes all non-skin contact or incidental skin contact products. Due to negligible skin contact the concentration of a fragrance ingredient should not exceed the usual concentration of the fragrance compound in the finished product.
Please also refer to the IFRA Standard ALLYL ESTERS.
Purity requirement: Allyl esters should only be used when the level of free allylalcohol in the ester is less than 0.1%. This recommendation is based on the delayed irritant potential of allylalcohol.

(2) Category 11 includes all non-skin contact or incidental skin contact products. Due to negligible skin contact the concentration of a fragrance ingredient should not exceed the usual concentration of the fragrance compound in the finished product.
Acetylated vetiver oil (Vetiveryl acetate) should only be used as a fragrance ingredient if produced by methods that lead to a reduction in allergenic materials, like the ones outlined below (acetylation methods using acetic anhydride):
without catalyst, at a temperature not exceeding 120°C.
with ortho phosphoric acid at room temperature.
with sodium acetate in toluene at reflux temperature.
The first two products can be used in their crude form after the usual procedures, but may be further purified. In the last case, distillation is necessary.
Another method accepted is an enzymatic acetylation process.
This recommendation is based on test results of RIFM with samples prepared according to different acetylation methods (private communication to IFRA).

Crude gums of Liquidambar styraficula L. var. macrophylla or Liquidambar orientalis Mill. should not be used as fragrance ingredients: Only extracts or distillates (resinoids, absolutes and oils), prepared from exudations of Liquidambar styraciflua L. var. macrophylla or Liquidambar orientalis Mill., can be used.This recommendation is made in order to promote good manufacturing practice (GMP) for the use of styrax derivatives as fragrance ingredients. It is based on a wide variety of RIFM test data with gums, resinoids, absolutes and oils of American and Asian styrax (private communication to IFRA).
In addition, Styrax oil can be obtained from solvent extraction or pyrolysis.
Styrax oil obtained through pyrolysis shall be rectified according to Good Manufacturing Practices and the content of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) resulting from their use shall respect the following requirement:
Benzopyrene and 1,2-Benzanthracene are to be used as markers for PAH. If used alone or in combination with rectified Cade oil, rectified Birch tar oils or rectified Opoponax oil, the total concentration of both of the markers should not exceed 1 ppb in the final product.

The level of benzene has to be kept as low as practicable and should never exceed 1 ppm in the fragrance compound.
Since the introduction of the original restriction on the use of benzene by IFRA in 1988, there have been significant changes in manufacturing practices that permit the reduction of the maximum permitted level of this substance. These include use of technological improvements allowing replacement of this solvent for the extraction of fragrance materials and in eliminating its presence as an impurity in alternative extraction solvents.

The Standard is set due to the phototoxic effects of the material. The limit only applies to applications on skin, excluding rinse-off products.
If combinations of phototoxic fragrance ingredients are used, the use levels have to be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all phototoxic ingredients, expressed in % of their recommended maximum level in the consumer product shall not exceed 100.
For applications on areas of skin exposed to sunshine, excluding bath preparations, soaps and other products which are washed off the skin, grapefruit oil expressed should not be used such that the level in the consumer products exceeds 4%.
Note: See remark on phototoxic ingredients in the introduction to the Standards (Appendix 8 to the IFRA Code of Practice) and the Standard on Citrus oil and other furocoumarinscontaining essential oils.
For qualities of the expressed oil in which the less volatile components have been concentrated by partial or total removal of the terpene fraction, this limit should be reduced in proportion to the degree of concentration.

For this material, for pragmatic reasons, restrictive levels allowed by the QRA for certain categories but actually being higher than those already in place before applying the QRA, will temporarily not be implemented until the end of a 5 year monitoring phase. At the end of the 5 years the position will be re-evaluated again.
(1) IFRA would recommend that any material used to impart perfume or flavour in products intended for human ingestion should consist of ingredients that are in compliance with appropriate regulations for foods and food flavourings in the countries of planned distribution and, where these are lacking, with the recommendations laid down in the Code of Practice of IOFI (International Organisation of the Flavor Industry) (http://www.iofiorg.org/).
(2) Category 11 includes all non-skin contact or incidental skin contact products. Due to the negligible skin contact from these types of products there is no justification for a restriction of the concentration of this fragrance ingredient in the finished product.

For this material, for pragmatic reasons, restrictive levels allowed by the QRA for certain categories but actually being higher than those already in place before applying the QRA, will temporarily not be implemented until the end of a 5 year monitoring phase. At the end of the 5 years the position will be reevaluated again.
In the presence of oak moss extracts, the level of tree moss in the respective category has to be reduced accordingly such that the total amount of both extracts does not exceed the maximum permitted level in each category as listed in the table above.
If the same compound is intended for more than one IFRA QRA category, then the most restrictive limitation (based on foreseen use concentrations and maximum permitted level) will apply.
(1) IFRA would recommend that any material used to impart perfume or flavour in products intended for human ingestion should consist of ingredients that are in compliance with appropriate regulations for foods and food flavourings in the countries of planned distribution and, where these are lacking, with the recommendations laid down in the Code of Practice of IOFI (International Organisation of the Flavor Industry)

Tree moss extracts shall not contain more than 0.8% of dehydroabietic acid (DHA) as a marker of 2% of total resin acids. The concentration of DHA (about 40% of the total resin acids) in tree moss can be measured with an HPLC reverse Phase - spectrofluorometry method.
Further, levels of atranol and chloroatranol should each be below 100 ppm in tree moss extracts.

For this material, for pragmatic reasons, the restricted levels allowed by the QRA for certain categories that are actually higher than those that were in place before applying the QRA, will not be implemented for now. This position will be reevaluated as appropriate in the future.
(1) IFRA would recommend that any material used to impart perfume or flavour in products intended for human ingestion should consist of ingredients that are in compliance with appropriate regulations for foods and food flavourings in the countries of planned distribution and, where these are lacking, with the recommendations laid down in the Code of Practice of IOFI (International Organisation of the Flavor Industry) (http://www.iofiorg.org/).
(2) Category 11 includes all non-skin contact or incidental skin contact products. Due to the negligible skin contact from these types of products there is no justification for a restriction of the concentration of this fragrance ingredient in the finished product.

For this material, for pragmatic reasons, restrictive levels allowed by the QRA for certain categories but actually being higher than those already in place before applying the QRA, will temporarily not be implemented until the end of a 5 year monitoring phase. At the end of the 5 years the position will be reevaluated again.
