Outline
• What are standards?
• Why do we need them?
• Vapour products: From BSI to international standards
Vaping Industry Forum 2018
What are standards?
“Documents that provide requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products,
processes and services are fit for their purpose” ISO
The standard simply provides a shorthand way of claiming that certain specifications are met, while encouraging manufacturers to adhere to a common method for such a specification.
Vaping Industry Forum 2018Standards vs. Regulations
Standards Regulations
However, standards can be incorporated into or help implementation of regulations
Industry led Mandated
Vaping Industry Forum 2018
Rationale for E-cig standards development
Key Drivers
1. Need to assure regulators and consumers alike on the quality and safety of e-cigs, amidst growing concerns due to alarmist media reporting
2. Ensuring that a uniform harmonised approach to product quality and safety is followed globally
3. Create standards that underpin regulations (in EU) and provide a template for regulations (outside the EU)

Stewardship stretches from ingredient selection to vapour
*Stewardship of e-cigarette flavours, S. Costigan and C. Meredith, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol . 72: 361–369, 2015
Industry product assessment builds consumer confidence in product quality and safety
Vaping Industry Forum 2018The BSI Publicly Available Specification is the closest to a ‘standard’ for e-cigs…
AREAS EXAMPLES IN BSI PAS
Process and quality control traceability in supply chain
Purity of e-liquid ingredients in manufacture pharma grade nicotine
Contaminants arising from device materials and potential emissions from device operation
shelf life studies
Electrical safety Complying with existing directives
Metals and carbonyls in emissions toxicological risk assessment
Vaping Industry Forum 2018
More is needed at the Global level
• What will the new standards look like?
• When can we expect them?
• What will they provide?
Vaping Industry Forum 2018Current e-cig projects @ CEN and ISO
Regional International
Example CEN (European) ISO
Time to come up with specification/standard
3-5 years 3-5 years
Current commitment on e-cigs
CEN TC 437 initiated in 2015 ISO TC126 (the tobacco committee) has initiated a specific e-cigarette “sub committee”- SC3
Current work on e-cigs Four working groups:WG1: Terms and definitionsWG2: DevicesWG3: e-liquidsWG4: emissions
Work items already started:WG1: Measuring nicotine, PG and VG in e-liquidsWG2: Vaping regime (expected by end of 2018)

Overview: global vapour product standards

Liaising with CEN and CORESTA to introduce first technical standards on e-
cigarettes in 2018
More than 13 European National Standards Bodies
working with vapers, regulators, industry and
public health
British and French standards created by multi-
stakeholder groups
A key decision at COP7 in New Delhi (Nov 2016) : “WHO to report on the development of methods by regional and international standards-
development organizations for the testing and measuring of contents and emissions of these products”.
