DECLARATION of TPD NOTIFICATION
What is TPD Testing?
Under the rules of the Tobacco Products Directive, eliquids and e-cigarettes are required to undergo emissions testing – also known as TPD testing – before they can be placed on the market.
TPD testing involves generating emissions from the e-cigarette or e-liquid and analysing for specific chemicals and metals at a specialist analytical laboratory under controlled conditions. It is a process that requires bespoke equipment and specially trained lab technicians.
The results of the test are submitted in a notification for assessment by the health authorities such as the MHRA.
Legal basis for TPD testing
Article 2 b) of the Tobacco Product Directive reads as follows:
“A new notification shall be submitted for each substantial modification of the product. The notification shall, depending on whether the product is an electronic cigarette or a refill container, contain the following information:
(b) a list of all ingredients contained in, and emissions resulting from the use of, the product, by brand name and type, including quantities thereof;”
