Due to a recent influx of Vape Products being discovered on the GB market exceeding legal nicotine limits and volumes, and therefore not being compliant, we wanted to highlight the need for batch testing if you wish to enter the GB market.

Nicotine concentration and tank size limits for GB

It has recently been discovered that a significant number of vaping products were on the UK market illegally, as they exceeded the legal limit for tank size and nicotine concentration.

For manufacturers seeking to place products on the Great Britain market, the legal limit on tank size is 2ml, and legal nicotine concentration is up to 20mg/ml.

Suppliers of illegal products may be liable for fines if it is found that these limits are exceeded.

What is batch testing?

Batch testing is a form of quality control that should be performed on e-liquids to ensure product compliance.

Certificates of analysis for batches of e-liquid can include testing for the following:

• Tank size (for disposable devices)
• Nicotine Concentration
• Density
• pH and Appearance
• Water content
• Refractive index measurement
