IFRA 51st Category 4 Limits vs. EU 2023/1545 Labeling Thresholds

Category 4 covers hydroalcoholic and non-hydroalcoholic fine fragrances applied directly to skin. Whereas IFRA safety caps restrict maximum allowable concentration to prevent sensitization, EU Regulation 2023/1545 triggers mandatory INCI packaging disclosure at much lower trace thresholds.
