Cigarettes — Determination of selected volatile organic compounds in the mainstream smoke with a smoking regime according to ISO 3308 (standard smoking regime) — Method using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

This document specifies a method for the quantification of selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs: 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, acrylonitrile, benzene and toluene) by GC-MS in mainstream cigarette smoke using ISO 3308 smoking parameters.

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