Overview of Fragrance Allergen Testing

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: EU 2023/1545 & IFRA
Typical turnaround: 5–7 working days
Sample needed: 50 ml or 50 g

The EU requires fragrance allergens to be named on the label of cosmetics when they exceed 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products. Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 greatly extended the list of allergens that must be labelled, with transition periods for products already on the market. Detergents have similar labelling rules.

IFRA Standards, followed by fragrance houses worldwide, ban some materials and set maximum levels for others by product type. Indian perfume, attar, incense, cosmetic and detergent exporters use GC-MS allergen testing to build their labels and to check fragrance oils from suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need allergen testing to sell in India?

India’s cosmetic rules do not yet have the EU’s allergen labelling scheme, but exports to Europe, the UK and many other markets need it, and global retailers ask Indian suppliers for allergen data.

Can the report support CDSCO files and label claims?

Yes. Reports from NABL-accredited labs are used in cosmetic licence and import registration files, and as evidence for the claims on your label. We confirm what your application or retailer asks for before testing.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
