TPD Laws Explained
UK TPD Vape Laws Explained | Bargain Vape Shop
At Bargain Vape Shop, every nicotine vaping product stocked is fully compliant with UK regulations based on the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). This guide explains what TPD rules mean for vapers in the United Kingdom so you can shop with confidence.
Â
What is the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)?
The Tobacco Products Directive is an EU law that set common rules for the manufacture, packaging, and sale of tobacco and related products, including e‑cigarettes and e‑liquids. Its rules were written into UK law and still shape how nicotine vaping products can be sold to protect public health and prevent under‑18s from starting to vape.
Key TPD rules for e‑cigarettes and e‑liquids
- Under TPD‑derived regulations, any nicotine‑containing vape product sold in the UK must:
- Limit nicotine e‑liquid bottles to a maximum of 10ml.
- Limit tank or pod capacity for nicotine e‑liquids to 2ml.
- Cap nicotine strength at 20mg/ml.
- Use child‑resistant, tamper‑evident packaging.
- Exclude ingredients such as caffeine, taurine, and added colourings.
- Be notified to the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) before sale.
- Carry clear health warnings and information and make no medicinal stop‑smoking claims.
