Testing Methodology

This page defines how VapeRisk Labs will document product tests. It will be expanded as each testing track is finalized.

Sample handling

• Record product name, model, flavor or variant, nicotine label, batch or lot code when available, purchase channel, purchase date, and test date.
• Photograph packaging, labels, warnings, seals, and any visible compliance markings.
• Separate hands-on observations from instrument-based findings.

Report structure

• Executive summary.
• Sample identity and chain-of-custody notes.
• Test questions and methods.
• Observed results and limitations.
• Risk interpretation for consumers, retailers, and industry readers.
• Correction log if new information changes a conclusion.

Limitations

A single sample does not represent every unit in a production run. VapeRisk reports should explain what was tested, what was not tested, and how much confidence readers should place in the result.
