1 Scope
This document specifies an analytical method to quantify the nicotine, propylene glycol and glycerol
content in e-liquids by gas chromatography.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

aerosol and then inhaled with an electronic nicotine delivery device (3.2)
3.2
electronic nicotine delivery device
device used to transform an e-liquid (3.1) into an inhalable aerosol
4 Principle
The e-liquid sample is diluted with a solution of isopropanol containing internal standard(s). The
nicotine, propylene glycol and glycerol content of the diluted sample is analysed by capillary gas
chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and quantified by using an internal standard.
