TRUSTED SOURCE OF TRUTH
What is the ATD?
Anti-Tampering Device (ATD) is a factory-grade, independently operated hardware component that ensures the authenticity of tobacco product serialization at the point of production.
It serves as a trusted source of truth between your production lines and regulatory authorities, recording and verifying what’s actually printed, not just what was intended.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Why the ATDs?
The ATDs are required to ensure compliance with TPD Article 15, as stipulated in Article 7 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/574.
Under EU TPD regulations, cigarettes and Roll-Your-Own tobacco must be tracked from May 2019. Other Tobacco Products (OTP) must be tracked from May 2024.
Moreover, all production lines must be equipped with ATDs that:
- The manufacturers cannot tamper with
- Ensure traceability data reflects reality, not intent
- Provide data to EU authorities on request
