Product Data - Arcus Compliance

Product Data Methodology

The PRODUCT DATA section of CORE COMPLIANCE focuses on the fundamentals of the health aspects of product stewardship. If you employ these steps you will begin to build genuinely robust processes and demonstrable due diligence.

Raw Materials or Concentrates

Whether you engineer your flavours from raw materials or concentrates from flavour house partners you must establish the foundations for your product stewardship from this stage. Working towards having total control over your recipes by engineering from raw materials should be your ultimate goal.

Flavour House

If you are working with a flavour house partner, it is essential that you conduct thorough due diligence on them before appointing them as a supplier. Failure to undertake these simple steps could derail your product line in the future.

Green Lists

Wherever possible work with flavour house partners who have green-list concentrates. Quite simply this means they have a second version that has been reformulated to remove any known banned substances and gives a solid base from where to begin your process.

CAS Disclosure

One of the most important parts of your supplier due diligence is making sure that you have agreed that they will provide you with your CAS disclosure for regulatory purposes. They may agree to only release to a third party but none the less make sure you have this agreed in writing before committing to use their products.

Ingredient Purity

A key aspect in all regulated markets is to ensure that you can demonstrate that you only use ingredients of the highest purity. Your flavour house partner may be able to provide this via their internal quality management systems.

Recipe Screening

Whilst a green list will give you a good base from which to build, it will only ensure you are free of the main known banned substances. It will not screen for vitamins, stimulants, colourants, heavy metals, etc so you need to ensure you have a process to screen your final recipe prior to putting into production.

Final CAS Presentation

A final CAS presentation with full aggregated data is the single most important document in this process. From this stage you can; screen, order toxicology studies, author SDS and sign declarations of conformity with confidence.

Kev Russell

Lab Development Project Manager, The Ace of Vapez
We have a retained contract with Arcus Compliance, on an annual basis, to deal with all of our compliance requirements. We moved our Compliance function from in-house, to Arcus Compliance, over a year ago and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the relationship has worked out. The team are not just highly knowledgeable but they are also incredibly efficient. No request is ever a problem and they are very personable to boot. We would recommend Arcus to any vape company looking to outsource their Compliance needs.

Emma Logan

Managing Director, JAC Vapour
We used Arcus Compliance for a couple of our projects and we were very impressed with their services. Very quick and responsive, quality of their work is excellent and they have a very knowledgeable and professional team. With this in mind, we made the decision to opt for a retained service. Best move we made. They have taken all of the compliance headaches away from us, and we trust they have handled everything to the highest level. Excellent from A-Z.

Procurement Manager VAPE SUPPLIER
Eco Vape Ltd has been a client of Arcus for nearly 2 years. It was clear from the very start of our contract that an excellent customer service experience was the key driver for Arcus. The team are friendly, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Their service is always 5 Stars! We remain very impressed with Arcus Compliance and look forward to a long partnership with them.

Brett Heaps

Managing Director, EcoVape 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."

Ramin Warda

Managing Director at Vont AB Sweden
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.

Dan Perks

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.

Harry Owen

Managing Director at UK Aspire Vendor
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.
