EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 4387 testing. This standard specifies methods for the determination of total particulate matter and then the determination of nicotine-free dry particulate matter in cigarette smoke produced and collected using a routine analytical smoking machine.
Cigarettes are manufactured to close tolerances using strict quality control procedures. However, all the ingredients involved in manufacturing (tobacco, cigarette paper, tips, etc.) are derived from natural products, resulting in an inherently variable end product. The complexity doesn't end there because it turns into cigarette smoke during smoking.
Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of many individual chemical components. These compounds exist as gases, vapors, and condensed aerosol particles. In addition, various aging processes, together with diffusional and inter-dissolution effects, begin to appear soon after the formation of the smoke, which further complicates its composition.
Studies show that improvements in repeatability and reproducibility occur when certain restrictions are placed on the wide variety of methods and applications permitted by current standard methods. Therefore, this standard and others, which together form a complete set for the determination of nicotine, water and particulate matter from cigarettes, have been produced after numerous collaborative and collaborative experiments by many laboratories in many countries.
This method is a machine method and allows smoking using a tightly controlled set of parameters. Thus, it enables comparison and ranking of NFDPM and nicotine from cigarettes on the basis of machine efficiency when smoked by this procedure.
