Overview

ISO 15517:2003/Amd 1:2012 is an amendment to the original ISO 15517:2003 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This international standard specifies the continuous-flow analysis method for determining nitrate content in tobacco. The amendment enhances the original method by including vital occupational safety warnings, updated reagent specifications, and detailed reporting requirements.

This standard is crucial for laboratories and regulatory bodies involved in tobacco analysis, ensuring consistent and accurate measurement of nitrate levels-an important parameter linked to tobacco quality and health implications.

Key Topics

  • Continuous-flow analysis method: This technique provides an efficient, automated way to quantify nitrate content in tobacco samples, essential for standardizing tobacco product assessments.
  • Occupational Safety Warning: The amendment emphasizes the need for rigorous safety protocols due to the use of hazardous chemicals and specialized equipment. Laboratories must establish policies to protect personnel and comply with regulatory safety standards.
  • Potassium nitrate specification: The amendment updates the potassium nitrate (KNO3) reagent grade to "p.a. (pro analysis) of known purity," ensuring reagent consistency and reliable results.
  • Test report requirements: The amendment mandates detailed reporting criteria, including nitrate content on a dry weight basis, sample identification details, moisture content and measurement method, any special observational notes, and conditions impacting the test results.

Applications

ISO 15517:2003/Amd 1:2012 is applicable in:

  • Tobacco industry quality control: Manufacturers use this standard to monitor nitrate levels in raw tobacco leaves or processed products, influencing flavor and combustion properties.
  • Regulatory compliance: Government agencies and health inspectors rely on standardized nitrate analysis to enforce product safety and certification standards.
  • Research and development: Scientists investigating tobacco chemistry utilize this method for reproducible nitrate determination to study tobacco composition and related health effects.
  • Laboratory accreditation and validation: Accredited testing laboratories apply this standard to validate their analytical methods and ensure consistency in tobacco product testing.

Related Standards

  • ISO 3402 – Vocabulary related to tobacco and tobacco products, providing definitions for terms used in analysis.
  • ISO 10315 – Determination of nicotine content in tobacco by gas chromatography.
  • ISO 6571 – Sampling methods for tobacco leaf, ensuring representative sample collection.
  • ISO/IEC 17025 – General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, underpinning laboratory quality management relevant to nitrate analysis procedures.

Summary

Adhering to ISO 15517:2003/Amd 1:2012 ensures reliable, safe, and standardized nitrate determination in tobacco products through continuous-flow analysis. This is vital for enhancing product quality, meeting regulatory expectations, and advancing tobacco-related research. The amendment strengthens both laboratory safety practices and reporting precision, facilitating confidence in test results across the tobacco industry worldwide.

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

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
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
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.
