Introduction
Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes, electronic cigarette devices or electronic nicotine vapor
delivery systems are usually battery-operated devices that people use to inhale an aerosol, which
typically contains nicotine (though not always), flavourings, and other chemicals. The vapor is generated
by heating a fluid often called e-liquid.
This document offers definitions, recommendation, references to other existing standards as well as best
practice solutions like test methods to minimize the risk for the consumer using e-cigarette devices.
Where no reference methods or standards could be identified, it is essential to further investigate the
need for the development of such methods.
The recommendations given in this document are relevant to all the various product types currently
available, as well as to those that will be developed. Not all elements of these recommendations will apply
to every type of product, but the definitions may be used to identify recommendations for specific
products, or parts of products, within this diverse sector.
In the absence of national regulations this standard can provide state of the art guidance for safe
e-cigarettes and e-liquids.

4 E-cigarettes and its components
4.1 Principle
E-cigarette devices may come in a wide variation in terms of design, but all of them share common
components:
a) a power unit delivering the needed energy to the system;
b) an atomizer generating the aerosol;
c) an e-liquid reservoir (tank) to contain an e-liquid;
d) a mouthpiece through which the aerosol is drawn out of the e-cigarette device.
4.2 General requirements
E-cigarette devices and components when separately supplied shall fulfil the general applicable
requirements of EN 60335-1.
The compliance of the materials used in components of e-cigarette devices shall be documented
according to EN 50581.
The safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the e-cigarettes devices shall be in accordance
with EN 60335-1, EN 62233, EN 55014-1 and EN 55014-2 respectively.

Where the power unit uses a proprietary connection to the atomizer the electrical output characteristics
and physical characteristics of the power unit shall be suitable for atomizers using that connection.
Where the power unit is constructed with a connection described in an international agreed standard, it
shall be marked to define electrical and mechanical compatibility. If a non-standardized connection is
used, the electrical and mechanical compatibility shall be clearly described in the product’s instruction
manual with appropriate warnings.
The power unit shall be directly marked to specify the compatibility, normally in terms of minimum
resistance and the supplied power [W] range that is allowed to be applied to the connected atomizer.
4.3.2 Batteries
Where batteries contain alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, these shall be in compliance with
EN 62133.
Where other batteries or energy sources are used, these shall be in compliance with relevant safety
standard(s) where available. The minimum safety requirement is that batteries and energy sources shall
be designed and constructed so that they are safe under conditions of both intended use and of
reasonably foreseeable misuse

4 E-cigarettes and its components
4.1 Principle
E-cigarette devices may come in a wide variation in terms of design, but all of them share common
components:
a) a power unit delivering the needed energy to the system;
b) an atomizer generating the aerosol;
c) an e-liquid reservoir (tank) to contain an e-liquid;
d) a mouthpiece through which the aerosol is drawn out of the e-cigarette device.
4.2 General requirements
E-cigarette devices and components when separately supplied shall fulfil the general applicable
requirements of EN 60335-1.

FprCEN/TS 17287:2018 (E)
The compliance of the materials used in components of e-cigarette devices shall be documented
according to EN 50581.
The safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the e-cigarettes devices shall be in accordance
with EN 60335-1, EN 62233, EN 55014-1 and EN 55014-2 respectively.
Additionally if an e-cigarette device is sold with a wall plug adaptor, EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3
shall also be complied with.
Assembly and disassembly shall be possible in such a way that the risk of any malfunction of the
e-cigarette device is minimized.
Specific requirements to be fulfilled are described in this standard.
4.3 Power unit
4.3.1 General
Where the power unit uses a proprietary connection to the atomizer the electrical output characteristics
and physical characteristics of the power unit shall be suitable for atomizers using that connection.
Where the power unit is constructed with a connection described in an international agreed standard, it
shall be marked to define electrical and mechanical compatibility. If a non-standardized connection is
used, the electrical and mechanical compatibility shall be clearly described in the product’s instruction
manual with appropriate warnings.
The power unit shall be directly marked to specify the compatibility, normally in terms of minimum
resistance and the supplied power [W] range that is allowed to be applied to the connected atomizer.
