Vaping products | Update on ANSES’s work

With the entry into force of Directive 2014/40/EU on 20 May 2016, vaping products such as electronic devices and liquids for vaping have been given a special regulatory framework. Under this framework, the nicotine content of e-liquids is limited to 20 mg/ml and the volume of refill containers to 10 ml. The framework also sets reporting obligations whereby manufacturers and importers are required to submit information on the characteristics, composition and emissions of products to the competent authorities before placing the products on the European market. As consumer products, vaping products are subject to the general safety obligation as well as to specific requirements (e.g. banned ingredients, hazardous chemical mixes and electrical equipment).
