Part 6 of the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) places an obligation on the manufacturers and importers of electronic cigarettes to submit a notification to the competent authorities where they are intended to be marketed.

Regulation 31 (3)b requires the notification to include a list of the emissions which result from the use of the product. The testing should be carried out in accordance with the expected use of the product using a standardised puff regime.
