ISO/TR 19478-1:2014 ISOとHealthCanadaの激しい喫煙パラメーター—パート1：国際的な機械喫煙研究の結果 | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 126, Tobacco and tobacco products.

ISO/TR 19478 consists of the following parts, under the general title ISO and Health Canada Intense smoking parameters:

• Part 1: Results of an international machine smoking study
• Part 2: Examination of factors contributing to variability in the routine measurement of TPM, water and NFDPM smoke yields of cigarettes

Introduction

ISO/TC 126 Working Group 10 (WG 10) was established by ISO/TC 126 in 2007 in response to a New Work Item Proposal by the British Standards Institute for the development of new regime for the machine smoking of cigarettes that was more intense than the then current ISO 3308:2000 and a subsequent questionnaire sent to TC 126 members. Twenty out of 26 members of TC 126 voted in favour of the following option:

“to install a Working Group 10 dealing with an 'Intense Smoking Regime' which shall start with the preparatory work. WHO is invited to participate with their technical experts. No draft Standard is expected to be presented by this group until the future method proposal of WHO has been taken into consideration.”

At its fifth meeting, in December 2009, WG 10 decided to undertake a collaborative study using both ISO 3308 and Health Canada Intense smoking regimes. A steering group was established and the laboratory work was carried out in 2010. A final report on the study was approved by WG 10 and this ISO Technical Report has been prepared at the request of WG 10 at its tenth meeting, in June 2012.

1 Scope

This part of ISO/TR 19478 comprises a description of the collaborative study undertaken by WG 10 during 2010 and 2011 and an analysis of the data generated in the study.
