The PG you linked is BP grade, which is what you're looking for in your neck of the woods. (In North America we look for USP)

The VG is not BP grade and just because of that I would avoid it.

There are other VG listed on Amazon,UK , that are BP grade. But, NOW is listed as 100% pure without grade marks? I thought 99.5 % and above was good for USP?

the amount of purity isnt the requirement for USP. USP is certified safe for human consumption. meaning it is additive or contaminant free.

Maybe im not understanding something about USP, but still, wouldn't something [VG] 100% pure be additive or contaminant free?

No. The USP standard covers more than just purity.

If you want detailed information on what constitutes a USP grade you may want to read the very last sticky in the area above these regular threads. I just now finished reading it and it seems to be well written and written by a knowledgeable person. I won't even try and restate what that person said since he's much more knowledgeable than I'll ever be and I'm just now working on understanding this myself. It's a long post, but it is very informative. Good luck.
