Cigarettes — Dosage de carbonyles sélectionnés dans le courant principal de la fumée de cigarette — Méthode par chromatographie liquide haute performance

A new edition is under development: ISO/DIS 21160-1.

Abstract / scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of selected carbonyls (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, 2-butanone and n-butyraldehyde) as their 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones in mainstream smoke using reversed phase HPLC-UV/DAD.

This method is applicable to cigarettes with nicotine-free dry particulate matter (NFDPM) yields between 1 mg/cigarette and 15 mg/cigarette using reversed phase HPLC-UV/DAD.
