CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF EMISSIONS

Mandatory under Directive 2014/40/EU TPD-II [Art. 20(2)(b)].

The analysis include 23 chemical parameters, comprising the 21 parameters listed by the European Commission in accordance with EU Implementation Order 2015/2183 of 24 November 2015.
Emission analysis is performed on each single aromatic variant and involves the production of aerosols by T-TRAP ™ (TRUSTICERT, Milan) vaping machine, built conforming to ISO/DIS 20768 standard.

To avoid additional requests from the authorities we suggest performing the complete analysis set, but it’s possible for us configure the parameter combinations you desire.
If your main market is UK, we suggest you follow the MHRA guidelines.

The analyses available are:

  • nicotine (L-nicotine);
  • glycols (ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol);
  • aldehydes (butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, crotonaldehyde);
  • nitrosamines (TSNA: NNN, TSNA: NNK);
  • heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel);
  • volatile organic compounds – VOCs (toluene, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, diacetyl, 2,3-pentadione).

The analysis are carried out by an accredited laboratory, according to UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 standard.

TOXICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF EMISSIONS

Analysis in support of the Declaration of Security required by Directive 2014/40/EU TPD-II [Art. 20(2)(g)].

Thanks to an investment made in advance of market demands, TRUSTiCERT is able to offer a technological set-up to assess the toxicity of vaporized substances or mixtures (with or without nicotine).

Toxicological tests are available on different cell lines:

  • cytotoxicity test on murine fibroblast; *
  • cytotoxicity test on human fibroblast;
  • cytotoxicity test human lung epithelium;
  • additional Endpoint: Measurement of one or more inflammatory mediators;
  • endocrine disorder test on amphibian embryo.*

*Test performed by an accredited laboratory, according to UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 standard.

These tests are not explicitly required by TPD-II, but we encourage our customer to carry out such kind of analyses to support the security statement required by the the notification and also to assess the safety of the product before placing it on the market.

TITRATION OF NICOTINE ON LIQUID

Mandatory under Directive 2014/40/EU TPD-II [Art. 20(3)(b), (f)].

Liquid nicotine concentration analysis is used to compile the relevant dose (nicotine dose uptake) required in the notification stage and provides a valuable reference to verify the quality of production through an external supplier.

The test is carried out by an accredited laboratory, according to UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 standard.

CONTAMINANT ANALYSIS IN LIQUID

Analysis in support of the Safe Product Declaration required by Directive 2014/40/EU TPD-II [Art. 20(2)(g)].

These types of analysis are not required by the TPD-II, but provide data in support of the non-hazard statement made during notification.
They also help supporting commercial claims (eg diacetyl free), that are becoming more and more important for the the final consumer.

The analyses available are:

  • test of presence of diacetyl (CAS 431-03-8) and ethylene glycol (CAS 107-21-1);
  • caffeine and taurine presence test;
  • heavy metals measurement test (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, antimony);
  • measurement test for formaldehyde, acrolein and acetaldehyde.

Test performed by an accredited laboratory, according to UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 standard.
