Introduction
User information is a set of instructions that come with vaping products, cartridges, prefilled
containers, and accessories. The user information can be documented on a pull-out book known

or detailed on the packaging. Additionally, a reference can be provided that directs the consumer
to the user information online.
This document establishes the instructions that can be provided to the consumer, such as the
instructions for the use and storage of the product as part of these user information details. The
recommendations given in this document are relevant to most product types currently available,
as well as to those that will be developed.
NOTE 1 This document can provide state of the art guidance; however, in cases where national

NOTE 2 Legal requirements with regard to labelling and nicotine content are dictated by the TPD and
CLP legislation. The aim of this document is to bring consistency and a minimum standard across different
legislative regimes as well as supplement and aid in the implementation of said regulations.
