Introduction
Vapour products are devices intended for human use, most of which contain electronic components
which vaporize a liquid to generate an aerosol carried by the air drawn through the device by the
user. The devices are designed either as a single piece or as modular, multiple component products, for
disposable, rechargeable and/or refillable use. In some cases, proprietary cartridges, pre-filled with
liquid, are replaced. Their use, often described as vaping, has grown substantially in recent years and
there are now regulations in place in a number of national and international jurisdictions requiring the
measurement of constituents of the aerosol produced by the devices.
This document has been developed to define and specify the requirements of machines used in
laboratories to draw air through the devices in order to generate aerosol for subsequent analytical
testing in a robust and reproducible manner.
There is a very wide range of vapour products available to consumers and limited reliable data
describing how they are used. The available data demonstrates significant intra- and inter-consumer
variation in behaviour. Consequently, no machine vaping regime can represent all human vaping
behaviour. As reliable data describing human vaping behaviour become available it may be appropriate
to test devices differently according to their design, or under conditions of different intensity to reflect
the range of human behaviour.
Machine testing is useful to characterize emissions for device development and regulatory purposes,
and may be used as inputs for product hazard assessment; however, it is not intended to be nor is it
valid as a measure of human exposure or risk. Communication of machine measurements to consumers
can result in misunderstandings about differences in exposure and risk across devices.
