Having analysed thousands of samples from around the world
we have seen that 1 in 4 TPD compliant products currently on
the market are potentially breaching the General Products
Safety Regulation. Let us help you check yours.
GPSR Matters
Meeting the TPD does not mean that your e-liquid is safe, it is simply a way to register the product and meet the
requirements for the banned substances. In-fact within the TPD itself manufacturers are required to also
perform a risk assessment in accordance with GPSR 2005 to ensure you also comply with the GPSR. The GPSR
2005 is now high on the priority list for both Trading Standards and the MHRA so you need to act now!
How we can help
EL-Science have invested around £2M into understanding the safety of
eliquid over the last 5 years and have produced a robust set of Health
Criteria Values (HCV) for many of the chemical components found
within e-liquids.
We all know about Diacetyl but there are many more chemicals
which may have a harmful effect if not controlled. In fact,
EL-Science have identified and characterised
over 180 chemicals with HCVs out of over 600
chemicals researched and the list is
growing. These chemicals are common
flavourings which are often safe by
ingestion but have significant
toxicological impact when inhaled.
This doesn’t mean you should
not have them in your
e-liquid, however, the
amounts must be
controlled.

Our Services
EL-Science offers a completely independent service to help you meet the GPSR
2005 regulations for both shortfill and submitted TPD products. This process isn’t
expensive, especially if you already have your chemical composition. If you don’t
we have in-house analytical laboratories so we can assist with that too.
