Understanding TPD Compliance at Vapor Hub
At Vapor Hub, your safety is our priority. That’s why every product sold on vaporhub.co.uk fully complies with the UK’s Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) regulations. If you're unsure what TPD means for you as a vaper, this guide breaks it down simply.What Is the TPD?The Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) is an EU-wide regulation that governs how tobacco-related products, including e-cigarettes and e-liquids, are manufactured, marketed, and sold. It became enforceable in the UK on 20 May 2016 and is designed to:
- Protect public health, especially for young people
- Ensure product safety and transparency
- Prevent misleading marketing practices
Even though the UK has left the EU, TPD rules remain in effect under UK law and continue to shape how vaping products are sold today.How TPD Affects Vaping ProductsUnder TPD guidelines, all nicotine-containing e-cigarette products must meet strict standards before being made available to customers. These rules include:
- Maximum nicotine strength: No more than 20mg/ml
- E-liquid bottle size: Nicotine-containing bottles cannot exceed 10ml
- Tank and pod capacity: Limited to 2ml
- Packaging: Must be child-resistant, tamper-evident, and carry appropriate health warnings
- Ingredients: E-liquids must not contain caffeine, taurine, or colorants
- Certification: Products must be submitted to the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) for approval before sale
- Marketing rules: No claims of medicinal benefits can be made
