Cigarettes — Determination of benzo[a]pyrene in cigarette mainstream smoke with an intense smoking regime using GC/MS — Part 2: Method using cyclohexane as extraction solvent

This document specifies a method for the determination of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in the total particulate matter of cigarette mainstream smoke with an intense smoking regime using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with cyclohexane as extraction solvent. This method is specified using ISO 20778 smoking parameters. An alternative method for the determination of B[a]P is specified in ISO 23906‑1, with a different clean-up using methanol solvent.

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).

ISO 23906-2:2023(E)
Introduction
No machine smoking regime can represent all human smoking behaviours.
— It is recommended that cigarettes also be tested under conditions of a different intensity of machine
smoking than those specified in this document.
— Machine smoking testing is useful to characterize cigarette emissions for design and regulatory
purposes, but communication of machine measurements to smokers can result in misunderstandings
about differences in exposure and risk across brands.
— Smoke emission data from machine measurements may be used as inputs for product hazard
assessment, but they are not intended to be nor are they valid measures of human exposure or
risks. Communicating differences between products in machine measurements as differences in
exposure or risk is a misuse of testing using ISO standards.
