Nerudia, which develops nicotine products, and Broughton Laboratories announced a strategic partnership to help e-cigarette companies comply with European regulation of their previously unregulated market.

Vaping products will be regulated in the EU from 20 May, when requirements of the revised Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) take effect. “The analytical capabilities and expertise of Broughton Laboratories are a perfect fit with Nerudia’s regulatory knowledge and our own services,” said Peter Beckett, compliance officer at Nerudia.
