TPD Compliance Policy

At Vapable, we are fully committed to complying with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) as outlined in the EU Directive 2014/40/EU and implemented in the UK through the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016. This policy ensures that all our vaping products meet the stringent safety, quality, and packaging standards required to protect our customers and uphold regulatory compliance.

Our Commitment to TPD Compliance

Vapable adheres to all TPD regulations to ensure our products are safe, transparent, and responsibly marketed. Below are the key aspects of our compliance:

1. Product Safety and Quality

  • Nicotine Strength Limits: All e-liquids sold by Vapable contain nicotine strengths not exceeding 20mg/ml (2%), in line with TPD requirements.
  • Volume Restrictions: Our e-liquids are packaged in bottles with a maximum capacity of 10ml for nicotine-containing products, ensuring compliance with TPD volume restrictions.
  • Quality Standards: All products undergo rigorous testing to meet safety and quality standards, including checks for prohibited ingredients as specified by the TPD.

2. Packaging and Labelling

  • Child-Resistant Packaging: All Vapable products are packaged in child-resistant and tamper-evident containers to ensure safety.
  • Health Warnings: Every nicotine-containing product carries the mandatory TPD health warning, covering at least 30% of the packaging’s two largest surfaces, stating: “This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance.”
  • Clear Labelling: Our packaging includes all required information, such as:
    • Ingredients list
    • Nicotine content and batch number
    • Manufacturer details (Vapable)
    • Instructions for use and storage
    • Contraindications and warnings for specific user groups

3. Product Notification

  • All Vapable products are registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) at least six months prior to being placed on the market, as required by the TPD.
  • We provide comprehensive data on product composition, emissions, and toxicological information to ensure transparency and compliance.

4. Advertising and Promotion

  • Vapable adheres to TPD restrictions on advertising and promotion, ensuring that our marketing practices comply with UK regulations, including avoiding promotions that appeal to under-18s or mislead consumers about product safety.

5. Prohibited Ingredients

  • We ensure that none of our products contain ingredients banned under the TPD, such as caffeine, taurine, or other additives deemed harmful or misleading.
