Description (English):

This document specifies methods for the determination of total particulate matter and preparation for the subsequent determination of nicotine-free dry particulate matter present in the smoke from articles made from fine-cut tobacco and expanded tobacco, generated and collected using a routine analytical smoking machine. It specifies the method of making of fine-cut tobacco smoking articles using a tube made from a specified wrapper.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 15592-3:2022 specifies standardized laboratory methods for measuring total particulate matter (TPM) and preparing samples for determination of nicotine-free dry particulate matter (NFDPM) from smoking articles made from fine‑cut tobacco (including expanded tobacco). The standard covers how to make laboratory fine‑cut smoking articles (FCSAs) using a specified wrapper, how to generate and collect mainstream smoke with a routine analytical smoking machine, and how to treat TPM samples for subsequent water and nicotine analysis.

Keywords: ISO 15592-3, fine-cut tobacco, TPM, NFDPM, nicotine, routine analytical smoking machine, wrapper, FCSA.

Key technical topics and requirements

Scope and definitions: Clear definitions for fine‑cut tobacco, expanded tobacco, wrapper, FCSA, TPM and related terms.
Sampling and conditioning: References procedure linkage with ISO 15592-1 (sampling) and ISO 15592-2 (conditioning and testing atmosphere).
Manufacture of FCSAs: Method for making laboratory smoking articles using tubes formed from a specified wrapper (wrapper specifications are provided in Annex A).
Apparatus and set‑up: Requirements for use of a routine analytical smoking machine (in line with ISO 3308) and associated smoke traps, holders and monitor test pieces.
Marking and reproducibility: Instructions for marking insertion depth and butt length of the test articles to ensure consistent machine setup.
Smoking plan and TPM collection: Procedures for preliminary tests, smoking runs, smoke trap preparation and TPM collection.
Sample treatment: Extraction procedures to prepare TPM for water determination (e.g., Karl Fischer) and nicotine analysis, and calculation method to derive NFDPM.
Quality and precision: Requirements for reporting, collaborative precision data and annexed studies (wrapper specification, expanded tobacco).

Practical applications

Laboratories testing smoke yields from roll‑your‑own (RYO) or hand‑made style articles to obtain TPM and NFDPM data.
Regulatory and public‑health testing programs that need standardized, reproducible measurements of mainstream smoke constituents from fine‑cut tobacco products.
Product development and quality control in tobacco manufacturing where comparison of consumer‑made articles to laboratory‑made FCSAs is required.

Who should use this standard

Analytical chemists and method developers in tobacco testing labs
Regulatory bodies and compliance testing organizations
Manufacturers and R&D teams assessing smoke constituent yields from fine‑cut and expanded tobaccos
Accreditation bodies and proficiency testing providers
