ISO/TC 126/SC 3 - Vape and vapour products

ISO/TC 126/SC 3 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Vape and vapour products" and is responsible for: Standardization of terminology, test methods and product information for vapour products Vapour products mean any product that is used to transform an e-liquid into an inhalable aerosol and also the e-liquid intended for its transformation into an aerosol. Vapour products also cover a wide range of devices including vapour devices, electronic cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, e-shishas and other similar products as well as their components. The device may be disposable or reusable due to rechargeable batteries, replaceable single use cartridges or a refillable liquid reservoir. It could be also of a fixed or a modular design Pharmaceutical products are excluded from the scope. This committee has published 6 standards.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
