Malaysian nicotine-free e-liquid have policies

Policies are always one step slower than the market, and so are vape. The origin of vapes has been more than 50 years, and the market has been widely sold for more than 20 years. However, the corresponding policy for vapes has only been available for nearly 2 years. This time, Malaysia's policy is to address nicotine in e-liquid in vapes.

We know that smoking e-liquid without nicotine does not produce cigarette-like dependence. Therefore, e-liquid without nicotine is not a tobacco product and can be sold in many countries.

Although e-liquid without nicotine can be sold in many places, the legitimacy and policies of this kind of thing have not yet been introduced, which means that before the vape market was confusing, although it could be sold, it was sold. Not supported by the policy.

The arrival of the vape policy indicates that the vape market has entered a mature period. e-liquid manufacturers have the policy to rely on when producing vape products.

On December 12, 2016, Malaysian Ministry of Health, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Internal Trade and electronic cigarette industry gathered in the conference room of the Malaysian Ministry of Internal Trade to hold a conference on vape. The content is the formulation of domestic trade cooperation in Malaysia and the industry standard for nicotine-free vape. It is directly related to the production, import, export and retail of vape.

The Director of Consumer Affairs of Malaysia’s Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperation and Consumption stated that all the industry standards for nicotine vapes came into effect in April to supervise all production and sales activities of nicotine-free vape.

“In order to monitor whether the product meets safety standards, the manufacturer will need to send the sample to the Malaysian Bureau of Standards Research for inspection and certification before the product can be put on the market.” This is in response to the current chaos in the electronic cigarette market. , before the break by the manufacturers free to add recipes in the vape line. You can't do it right now, because every product must pass inspection and you are allowed to sell.

In addition, companies that produce the product should obtain certificates and safety marks from SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd before re-submission, and then send the product labels to the Ministry of Internal Trade, Cooperation and Consumption to simplify product registration and monitoring.

If you just look at the process, you may find it cumbersome, but for the e-liquid makers, it is indeed good. Before officially, because there is no corresponding policy, e-liquid has been banned from selling in many places, which is deadly for producers. They are confused about the prospects of the market. Although trivial than before, but with policies as a support, manufacturers can only follow the rules.

In other words, in the future, Malaysia can rest assured that it can operate vapes without fear of being banned by the government in a simple, rude, and meaningless manner. At the same time, it also means that there is a threshold for operating vape in Malaysia. It is no longer a thing that you can do before you want to do it!
