E-Liquid Compliance in the UK: TPD Rules, Nicotine Limits and What ‘Compliant’ Actually Means
lawnews.co.uk
UK e-liquids must comply with strict TPD rules, including nicotine limits and packaging requirements, enforced by the MHRA.Summary
The UK vaping market is governed by the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which sets strict legal limits on nicotine strength (20mg/ml), bottle size (10ml for nicotine), and tank capacity (2ml). These rules, retained post-Brexit through the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 and enforced by the MHRA, require all products to be notified to the regulator before sale. Compliance means a product has cleared MHRA notification and meets these technical standards, a distinction that is critical for retailers to avoid legal risks such as stock seizures or fines. Buyers can verify a product's status using the MHRA public register, ensuring that only notified and correctly labelled items are sold.
