E-Cigarette Product Testing and Certification Services

In recent years, e-cigarettes have become a popular choice among young people. Various countries have introduced regulatory laws and standards for e-cigarettes, such as China's mandatory standard GB 41700-2022 Electronic Cigarettes and the EU Tobacco Directive 2014/40/EU, which includes regulations for e-cigarettes. CTI provides testing services for e-cigarette design and raw materials, e-cigarette device safety, aerosol composition, and emissions composition, offering essential technical support for the design and import/export of e-cigarette products.
