There is no standard e-liquid

A new industry will have a problem, that is, the lack of standards. The emerging industry is an immature market. As long as the industry is prosperous, the technology of the industry will be constantly updated, and there is no standard problem at all, and vape is such an industry, except for vape, e-liquid The standard of e-liquid is also missing, and almost all the standards for e-liquid depend on the conscience of the company.

e-liquid will eventually be atomized and inhaled into the body, so its safety is the top priority. However, the national mandatory standard for e-liquid has not been promulgated. When e-liquid manufacturers produce e-liquid, they are basically Following corporate standards or industry standards, it is unknown whether the rationality of these standards has been scientifically certified.

There is no corresponding e-liquid standard in China, which makes many vape users worry that e-liquid will cause harm to the body. E-liquid manufacturers obviously understand the concerns of users. Therefore, there is no authoritative standard in China, so foreign standards are very It is worth learning from, as a vape user, you may see the promotion from foreign standards on some pages that sell e-liquid.

The European and American markets have stricter standards. Therefore, various test reports for vape related tests, such as smoke test and e-liquid composition analysis, are very important. US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), EU CEE-RoHS and TDP certification and other foreign certifications have become the quality assurance of some e-liquid manufacturers.

Let's now take a look at TDP's testing requirements for e-liquid:

1. Nicotine test according to California 65 requirements;

2. Determination of 4 specific nitrosamine compounds according to FDA technical documents;

3. Test the harmful substances such as propylene glycol and diethylene glycol in electronic e-liquid;

4. The heavy metals in the electronic e-liquid are determined with reference to the USP USP Heavy Metals in Nicotine method;

5. Test the microbial content and preservative efficacy of vape with reference to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia USP;

6. TRA Toxicity Analysis – EU and US;

7. Vape MSDS Safety Data Sheet Service – According to EU 2001/58/EC, 1999/45/EC, 67/548/EEC, Regulation(EC) No. 1907/2006; US 29 CFR 1910.1200(g), ISO 11014- 1 and other international standards to issue safety data sheets.

It seems that these tests are very strict, and it seems that it is quite safe to purchase these certified products, but in fact it is not that simple. Some insiders have learned that these foreign certificates can be obtained for a few thousand yuan. In this way, its Authority is not so high.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. In the end, it is the safest to have domestic mandatory standards. Fortunately, the domestic standards have come out, and the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standardization Administration) has approved "vape" (GB 41700-2022) Mandatory national standards will be implemented from October 1, 2022. That is to say, after a few months, e-liquid will no longer be a product without standards, and everyone will feel at ease when buying e-liquid in the future.
