Overview

ISO 15154:2003/Amd 1:2012 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies a method for determining the content of reducing carbohydrates in tobacco. The method uses continuous-flow analysis to provide accurate and reliable measurement of reducing carbohydrate levels, expressed as glucose content relative to the dry matter of the tobacco sample. This amendment updates the original 2003 standard to include important clarifications related to health and safety, reporting requirements, and measurement precision.

Key Topics

  • Continuous-flow analysis method: A streamlined, automated chemical analysis technique used to quantify reducing carbohydrates in tobacco efficiently.
  • Reducing carbohydrates in tobacco: Measurement focuses on compounds such as glucose and other saccharides that contribute to the chemical profile of tobacco.
  • Amendment highlights:
    • Addition of a health and safety warning about the use of hazardous chemicals and equipment during testing.
    • Refinement of terminology, including the specification of D-Glucose with known purity for calibration and reference.
    • Updated requirements for test reports to ensure comprehensive documentation, including sample identification, moisture content, testing methods, and any deviations affecting results.
  • Quality and compliance: The standard stresses adherence to regulatory requirements and good laboratory practices to protect personnel and ensure result validity.
  • Technical governance: Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 126, Subcommittee SC 2, which specializes in tobacco and tobacco products.

Applications

  • Tobacco product testing laboratories: Routine analysis of reducing carbohydrates for quality control, product development, and regulatory compliance.
  • Research and development: Assists scientists studying the chemistry of tobacco and its impact on product characteristics or health.
  • Regulatory bodies: Provides a standardized method for monitoring tobacco product contents in accordance with international requirements.
  • Manufacturers: Enables internal control over tobacco blend composition and manufacturing consistency.
  • Health and safety committees: Helps define safe handling procedures for chemical reagents and instruments used in tobacco analysis.

Related Standards

  • ISO 3308 – Routine analytical cigarette smoking machine-Definitions and standard conditions.
  • ISO 10315 – Tobacco and tobacco products-Determination of nicotine content.
  • ISO/IEC 17025 – General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
  • ISO 15154 (original 2003 edition) – The base standard prior to Amendment 1 describing the continuous-flow analysis method for reducing carbohydrates.
  • ISO 3402 – Tobacco and tobacco products-Atmosphere for conditioning and testing.

By adhering to ISO 15154:2003/Amd 1:2012, tobacco testing facilities can ensure accurate, repeatable determination of reducing carbohydrate content using a validated continuous-flow analysis approach. This supports quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and advances in tobacco product research. The amendment further emphasizes laboratory safety and precise reporting, making it a vital resource for professionals in the tobacco industry.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission

Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
