BS 5202-15:1994 Methods for chemical analysis of tobacco and tobacco products - Determination of water in smoke condensates of cigarettes (Karl Fischer method)
This part of ISO 10362 specifies the use of the Karl Fischer method for the determination of water in cigarette smoke condensates. The smoking of ciga-rettes and collection of mainstream smoke are normally carried out in accordance with ISO 4387. However, the method is also applicable to the deter-mination of water in smoke condensates obtained by non-standard smoking.
NOTE 1 ISO 4387 specifies the use of gas chromatogra-phy for the determination of water in smoke condensate solutions (see also ISO 10362-1). In countries not in a pos-ition to use the gas-chromatographic method, the determi-nation of water in smoke condensate should be performed by the method described in this part of ISO 10362 and an appropriate note made in the expression of the results.
