ISO 6080:2024/Amd 1:2025 is an amendment to the internationally recognized standard ISO 6080:2024, which provides essential vocabulary for tobacco heating systems (THS). Developed by ISO Technical Committee 126, this amendment introduces enhanced notes, updated annexes, and a revised bibliography, supporting the use of consistent terminology and clear assessment criteria across the tobacco heating system industry. As regulatory and industry interest in alternative tobacco products continues to grow, this vocabulary standard ensures clarity, precision, and uniform understanding among manufacturers, laboratories, regulators, and other stakeholders.
Tobacco Heating Systems (THS) Vocabulary The standard establishes authoritative definitions for terms uniquely applicable to THS, facilitating accurate communication and documentation.
Assessment of Combustion The amendment strengthens guidance on assessing whether combustion occurs in THS by referencing standardized testing methodologies, helping differentiate between thermal decomposition and combustion.
Data Ranges for Key Emissions Updated annexes provide examples of measured ranges for key emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) for both combustible cigarettes and THS, supporting comparative assessments.
Standardized Testing Methodologies The amendment recommends applying analytical procedures outlined in ISO 5501 series to evaluate emissions during operation of tobacco heating systems, promoting reliable and repeatable results.
