Law & labelling
Package leaflet
A package leaflet provides required user information for e-cigarettes and refill containers in Germany. It must explain use, storage, warnings, possible health effects and responsible contact details among other matters; it does not replace the complete device manual.
01
Classification
Package leaflet comes from product, youth-protection, tax or environmental law and describes an obligation, a prohibition or a labelling requirement. Anyone applying the rule must also check its scope and the product type concerned. Because Package leaflet is closely tied to Batch number, comparing two products is always worth doing across both specifications rather than just one.
02
Practical relevance
In retail and online purchasing, Package leaflet decides what may be offered, shipped or imported in the first place. Breaches affect not only sellers but frequently private orders from abroad as well. Looking at Package leaflet and Distance selling together makes it quicker to tell whether a problem sits in the device, the consumable or the way it is used.
03
Handling it safely
This account of Package leaflet is general information and expressly not legal advice. For a binding decision, the current legislation, the competent authority and the specific case are what count. Keep the manufacturer documentation for Package leaflet to hand; in a dispute it is also the decisive basis for warranty questions.
Note: This content is for general information and does not replace medical or legal advice.
04
Not to be confused with
The line between Package leaflet, Batch number and Distance selling runs not through the form factor but through what each one measures, regulates or names. Once the three terms are cleanly separated, datasheets and product pages read much faster and lead to fewer mistaken purchases.

Frequently asked questions
- How should Package leaflet be classified?
- Within Law & labelling, Package leaflet describes a fixed property, not a quality tier. Two products with the same specification can differ considerably in build, features and approval.
- What really matters with Package leaflet?
- What matters most with Package leaflet is the combination: device, consumable and liquid have to match. Individually good figures do not help if one element is out of line.
- What is the difference between Package leaflet and EU-CEG?
- The two overlap but are not identical: Package leaflet answers a different question from EU-CEG. On a specific product both specifications can apply at the same time.
