Tobacco and tobacco products — Atmosphere for conditioning and testing

This document specifies the atmosphere for the conditioning and testing of samples of tobacco and tobacco products. It is primarily applicable to cigarettes; however, if not specified differently in other ISO standards, it can also be applied to tobacco, other tobacco products, and materials used in the manufacture of tobacco products for which prior conditioning is necessary. Standards for the conditioning and testing of other forms of tobacco, tobacco products, and materials can refer to all or part of this document.

Tabac et produits du tabac — Atmosphère de conditionnement et d'essai

Le présent document spécifie l'atmosphère de conditionnement et d'essai à laquelle sont soumis les échantillons de tabac et de produits du tabac. Il s’applique principalement aux cigarettes ; toutefois, sauf spécification différente dans d’autres normes ISO, elle peut aussi être appliquée au tabac, aux autres produits du tabac et aux matières utilisées dans la fabrication des produits du tabac pour lesquels un conditionnement préalable est nécessaire. Les normes relatives au conditionnement et aux essais d’autres formes de tabac, de produits du tabac et de matières peuvent faire référence à tout ou partie du présent document.

Tobak in tobačni proizvodi - Pogoji za kondicioniranje in preskušanje

Ta dokument določa atmosfero za kondicioniranje in preskušanje vzorcev tobaka in tobačnih izdelkov.
Uporablja se predvsem za cigarete; če v drugih standardih ISO ni drugače določeno, pa se lahko uporablja tudi za tobak, druge tobačne izdelke in materiale, ki se uporabljajo pri proizvodnji tobačnih izdelkov, za katere je potrebno predhodno kondicioniranje. Standardi za kondicioniranje in preskušanje drugih oblik tobaka, tobačnih izdelkov in materialov se lahko v celoti ali delno sklicujejo na ta dokument.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux.
L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a
été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir
www.iso.org/directives).

de l'ISO aux principes de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) concernant les obstacles
techniques au commerce (OTC), voir www.iso.org/avant-propos.
Le présent document a été élaboré par le comité technique ISO/TC 126, Tabac et produits du tabac.
Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition (ISO 3402:1999) qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision technique.
Les principales modifications sont les suivantes :
— des modifications rédactionnelles ont été apportées au Domaine d’application ;
— l’article obligatoire « Références normatives » (Article 2) a été ajouté ;
— les termes et définitions ont été harmonisés avec l’ISO 4387 et ces termes ont été utilisés de manière
cohérente dans l’ensemble de la norme ;
— l’intitulé principal « Spécifications de l'atmosphère » (voir l'Article 4) a été créé pour l'atmosphère
de conditionnement et l'atmosphère d’essai (respectivement renumérotées 4.1 et 4.2,) Le texte de
ces paragraphes a été révisé sur le plan rédactionnel pour des raisons de clarté et de cohérence et
les références à des normes annulées ont été supprimées ;
— la durée du conditionnement a été révisée par souci de clarté ; le texte décrivant le stockage à long
terme a été retiré étant donné que le présent document n’est pas destiné au stockage des produits
du tabac ;
— des références ont été supprimées de la Bibliographie ; elles ne concernaient pas le présent document
ou se rapportaient à des normes qui ont été supprimées.
