Regulatory Compliance at Avalanche Vapes

At Avalanche Vapes, we are committed to providing high-quality vaping products that meet all relevant regulations and guidelines. Our dedication to a safe and enjoyable vaping experience includes full compliance with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and UK regulations.

Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)

The Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) is an EU regulation introduced in May 2016 to improve the internal market for tobacco and related products while ensuring public health protection. It sets rules for the manufacture, presentation, and sale of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and e-liquids.

• E-liquid bottle size: Max 10ml for nicotine-containing liquids

UK Vaping Regulations

In addition to TPD compliance, we follow all UK laws governing vaping products:

• Sale of nicotine-containing products restricted to customers aged 18+
• Advertising bans on e-cigarettes and e-liquids in print and digital media

MHRA Approval for E-liquids

In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) oversees compliance for e-cigarettes and e-liquids. Products must be approved before sale.

To gain MHRA approval, manufacturers/importers must:

• Notify MHRA of intent to sell vaping products
• Provide detailed product data: ingredients, emissions, nicotine levels, toxicology
• Submit a declaration of conformity with TPD standards
• Ensure packaging meets TPD requirements: health warnings, child-resistant seals, tamper-evidence

Avalanche Vapes only offers MHRA-approved e-liquids, ensuring safety and quality. We work closely with trusted suppliers to maintain full compliance.
