Thorough testing is an essential aspect of compliance, including TPD submissions.
Different regions require different testing regimes. Reports from features such as product emissions, must be submitted to relevant regulatory bodies, including MHRA.

These essential tests must be conducted to ensure that nicotine levels within each product are as expected, and are not higher or significantly lower than they should be.
The nicotine consistency test also provides details on the nicotine delivery per dose (or puff), which must then be displayed on the product as per the TPD requirement.

Products sold in the UAE must undergo rigorous chemical stability testing.
These tests allow us to determine the ‘shelf life’ of your products – for example, flavours can deteriorate over time and so it is important to understand how long the products will be ‘at their best’ for.

As part of a PMTA FDA submission, a Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents (HPHC) report must be provided to the FDA detailing the type and level of harmful constituent within the product. In order to obtain this information, the product will require testing at our lab to provide the breakdown of information required. All testing is conducted to the standards required by the FDA.

Extractables & Leachables testing looks at the containers vape liquid is delivered in – and whether any of the products within that container can be transferred to the product and into the product-user.
Some material transferred can cause harm to the user, so it is important to establish if this could happen.

We can complete comprehensive device testing for you – another vital aspect of being TPD compliant, as well as FDA PMTA testing.
Device testing involves testing the emissions from the device for heavy metals and other VOCs, as well as a carbonyl or ketone emissions test and nicotine consistency test.

Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) are known carcinogens found in tobacco.
If tobacco is used in any product, these products must be tested to certify there are no TSNAs, to remain TPD compliant.

Managing Director at ECO Vape Ltd
We’ve been working with Arcus for about 2 years. Initially, we engaged Arcus on project-based requirements, however, we have since migrated to retained client partnership. We’ve been very pleased with Arcus Compliance's service and they have assisted us in every single step in dealing with EU-TPD compliance requirements and ensuring our products are in total adherence. We are looking forward to a continued working relationship with Arcus as we grow our business and expand into other countries."
Managing Director at Vont AB Sweden
We, as a company, joined with Arcus Compliance as a retainer client to get our products TPD-approved. We are still in the process but could not have asked for a better experience. Every single member on both sides is on point; communication is tight, tasks are being handled in a timely manner, and we can operate normally without too much intervention. We look forward to a continued relationship with Arcus!
Compliance Director at BLVK Unicorn
We have used Arcus Compliance for over a year now and throughout that year the Arcus staff have been paramount in handling our compliance needs. Through all our compliance requirements, Arcus have provided up to date advice, effective resolutions and a friendly service. We are grateful to have such reliable support for the future of our business and peace of mind our compliance is not a cause for concern.
Production Manager at Zeus Juice UK
2 years of partnership with Arcus Compliance has taken the complications, stress and unclarity out of arduous regulatory compliance. The conveyance of compliance through all of its stages was highly convoluted. Through the team behind Arcus we can rest assured that we now cover all areas of compliance appertaining to our business, even in areas we did not know we were lacking. In a market where our compliance is developing and dynamic we need that solid guidance to instruct us to future proof our business model. They are easy to talk to and take the guess work out of compliance. Their dedication and attention to detail in our opinion makes them the only compliance company you can trust with your business and future.
Managing Director at UK Aspire Vendor
Arcus Compliance has been handling all of Cosmic Fog’s European testing and compliance for 2 years. Lee Bryan, Managing Partner of Arcus has handled our compliance for roughly 4. In that time we have built an amazing working relationship as well as a strong personal friendship. We have all heard horror stories regarding TPD compliance, I consider myself lucky to have found Lee early on and never experienced any of that firsthand. Lee and his team always get the job done.
Vice President of Business Development at Cosmic Fog
We were working with Arcus for almost 2 years through our involvement with ASPIRE, as UK distributors. So when the time came for us to improve our internal regulatory affairs the decision to appoint Arcus as our retained partner, was a simple one. We are already under going an extensive improvement program in CORE COMPLIANCE, that will see our due diligence and documentary evidence increase immeasurably.
Director at ifancyone
We began working with Arcus at the back end of 2017 after we identified some errors in our notifications. The guys at Arcus took on a project with a short deadline between Christmas and New Year and delivered with a couple of days to spare. It was so nice to find a supplier in this industry, who under promises and over delivers! We are now into our second year with them and beginning to role out the CORE COMPLIANCE product stewardship methodology to further improve our due diligence process.
