Overview

EN ISO 24199:2022 (ISO 24199:2022) specifies an analytical gas chromatographic method for the determination of nicotine in vapour product emissions. The standard describes how to generate and collect aerosol from vapour products (e‑cigarettes, vaping devices) and quantitate nicotine in the collected emissions using capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC‑FID). It is intended to provide reliable, comparable nicotine emission data for testing laboratories, manufacturers and regulators.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and principle: Quantification of nicotine in aerosol collected from vapour products; results expressed per puff, per aerosol collected mass (ACM) or per puff block.
• Aerosol generation & sample collection: Emissions shall be generated and collected in accordance with routine analytical vaping machine procedures (see ISO 20768 referenced). Aerosol is collected on glass fibre filter pads and ACM is determined gravimetrically.
• Sample extraction: Collected material is extracted with isopropanol containing an internal standard. Typical internal standards include quinaldine or n‑heptadecane; alternatives (e.g., n‑octadecane) require validation to avoid co‑elution.
• Chromatography & detection: Analysis by capillary GC‑FID with internal standard calibration; calibration requires a series of at least five calibration solutions prepared from a nicotine reference substance of known purity.
• Reagents & gases: High‑purity carrier gas (He, N2 or H2) and auxiliary gases for FID; isopropanol extraction solution; certified nicotine reference material (≥98 % purity recommended).
• Quality and validation: Sections on repeatability and reproducibility, interlaboratory study results (based on CORESTA CRM 84 origins), calibration, chromatogram review (Annex A example) and comprehensive test reporting requirements.

Practical applications

• Regulatory compliance and reporting of nicotine emissions from vapour products.
• Routine quality control and batch testing in manufacturing.
• Research and product development for formulation or device design changes.
• Interlaboratory studies and method validation to support harmonized measurement across labs.

Who should use this standard

• Analytical testing laboratories performing nicotine determination in vaping emissions.
• Vapour product manufacturers and R&D teams.
• Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment organizations requiring standardized emission data.
• Academic and contract research organizations studying inhalation exposure from electronic nicotine delivery systems.

Introduction
In many countries, the regulation of vapour products requires reporting for nicotine compounds in
emissions. Therefore, there is a necessity to have an International Standard in place to get reliable/
comparable data on nicotine in electronic cigarette emissions.
This document was developed for the determination of nicotine in the aerosol from vapour products
utilizing gas chromatography coupled with a flame ionization detector. The experimental design
[1][2]
parameters used to collect the aerosolised vapour should be evaluated and documented for each
analysis.
[3]
The document is based on the CORESTA recommended method (CRM) 84 , which was written on the
[4]
basis of the results obtained in an interlaboratory study conducted in 2015 involving 18 laboratories
[5]
and an interlaboratory study conducted in 2019 involving 11 laboratories .
