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 .
