EU TPD and national flavor regulations increasingly shape B2B flavor sourcing. Buyers need suppliers who can provide composition support, emissions-test cooperation and complete documentation packages.
Key Highlights
- TPD restricts certain additives in e-liquids; supplier disclosure is essential
- Documentation now includes CoA, MSDS, allergen statements and regulatory letters
- matai supports customer emissions testing with formulation data
- REACH compliance is supported for EU-market chemical inputs
What TPD Means for Flavor Sourcing
TPD Article 7 requires e-liquid producers to disclose additives and conduct emissions testing. Flavor houses that refuse composition cooperation become a liability. matai provides the formulation support needed for notification dossiers while protecting IP through reasonable disclosure frameworks.
Documentation Checklist
- Certificate of Analysis (per batch)
- MSDS/SDS (GHS format)
- Allergen statement
- Certificate of origin
- REACH support letter for EU imports
- TDS with composition overview
Frequently Asked Questions
Does TPD ban flavors?
TPD regulates e-liquid composition and notification rather than banning flavors outright; national laws vary. Working with a supplier that supports disclosure simplifies compliance.
What documents should a flavor supplier provide?
At minimum: per-batch CoA, MSDS/SDS, TDS, allergen statement and certificate of origin.
