Reference

The instruments, and what they are called.

Six instruments govern a nicotine product in the EU. Each one is named here as it is named in the Official Journal, with the address it can be read at. What each market actually requires under it is on that market's own page, with that market's own provision.

Instruments

6 instruments.

An instrument is listed with its number because the number is what the reader has to quote. The short names — TPD, PCN, SDS — are trade usage, not law.

These records were compiled from the instrument identifiers and have not yet been opened at source by an operator, so every one of them is marked accordingly. That is a verification task, not a formality.
