Dermal sensitization quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for fragrance ingredients published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, vol. 52, no.1, October 2008 was recognized in 2010 by Elsevier as one of the Top 10 most cited articles on Scopus for the years 2007-2008 even though it was published at the end of 2008. The article is part of a special issue of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology that also contains 6 other manuscripts on the QRA. This new methodology is a major improvement over the former approach because it specifically addresses the elements of exposure-based risk assessment that are unique to the induction of dermal sensitization, while being consistent with the principles of general toxicology risk assessment. This QRA is now used to determine global fragrance industry product management practices (IFRA Standards) for fragrance ingredients that are potential dermal sensitizers. Recognition of the QRA publication represents recognition of the QRA approach by the scientific community.

RIFM is the international scientific authority for the safe use of fragrance materials. RIFM generates, evaluates and distributes scientific data on the safety assessment of fragrance raw materials found in personal and household care products. Through extensive research, testing and constant monitoring of all scientific literature available, RIFM maintains its Database as the most comprehensive source worldwide of physical-chemical, toxicological and eco-toxicological data associated with known fragrance and flavor materials. All of RIFM's scientific findings are evaluated by an independent Expert Panel — an international group of dermatologists, pathologists, toxicologists, respiratory, reproductive and environmental scientists. The Expert Panel evaluates the safety of fragrance ingredients under conditions of intended use and publishes their results in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The decisions of the Expert Panel regarding restrictions of use are also published in the IFRA Standards, publicly available from the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) web site at www.ifraorg.org.
