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.

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, Part 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, Part 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).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to

the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 126, Tobacco and tobacco products.

This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 3402:1999), which has been technically

revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— editorial changes have been applied to the Scope;
— the mandatory Normative references clause (Clause 2) has been added;

— the Terms and definitions have been harmonized with ISO 4387, and these terms have been

consistently used throughout the document;

— the main header Atmosphere specifications (see Clause 4) was created for Conditioning atmosphere

and Test atmosphere (renumbered as 4.1 and 4.2, respectively); the text in these subclauses was

editorially revised for clarity, consistency, and references to withdrawn standards have been

removed;

— duration of conditioning has been revised for clarity; text describing long term storage has been

removed since this document is not for storage of tobacco products;

— references in the Bibliography have been removed; they did not support this docum

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).

L'attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de

droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable

de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence. Les détails concernant

les références aux droits de propriété intellectuelle ou autres droits analogues identifiés lors de

l'élaboration du document sont indiqués dans l'Introduction et/ou dans la liste des déclarations de

brevets reçues par l'ISO (voir www.iso.org/brevets).

Les appellations commerciales éventuellement mentionnées dans le présent document sont données

pour information, par souci de commodité, à l’intention des utilisateurs et ne sauraient constituer un

engagement.

Pour une explication de la nature volontaire des normes, la signification des termes et expressions

spécifiques de l'ISO liés à l'évaluation de la conformité, ou pour toute information au sujet de l'adhésion

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.

Il convient que l’utilisateur adresse tout retour d’information ou toute question concernant le présent

document à l’organisme national de normalisation de son pays. Une liste exhaustive desdits organismes
