Chapter 10 – General Advice on Vigilance – Northern Ireland

The overall document outlines the submission of notifications for Northern Ireland under Article 20 of Directive 2014/40/EU. It highlights obligations on manufacturers and importers of electronic cigarettes, including submitting a notification to the competent authorities. The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) implement the directive in NI, requiring producers to establish a system for collecting information about suspected adverse effects on human health. Producers must take corrective action if they believe their product is not safe or of good quality, and inform the MHRA accordingly.
