Abstract
The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) was established thirty years ago, chartered as a nonprofit international organization to:
-
Gather and analyze available scientific data and other information on fragrance ingredients and to engage in a testing and evaluation program related to such materials.
-
Distribute descriptions and other information relating to the uniform standards of testing and evaluation and the results thereof.
-
Cooperate with governmental agencies in connection with any testing or evaluation program related to the use of fragrance ingredients or end products containing such ingredients.
-
Encourage members of RIFM and others to adopt and adhere to uniform standards in the testing and evaluation of fragrance ingredients.
