2018 Collaborative Study of CORESTA Monitor 8 (CM8) and 9 (CM9) for the Determination of Test Piece Weight, TPM, Water, Nicotine, NFDPM, Carbon Monoxide and Puff Count Obtained under Mainstream ‘ISO’ and ‘Intense’ Smoking Regimes
RAC Technical Report
The CORESTA Routine Analytical Chemistry Sub-Group has been given the responsibility to organize the annual testing of the CORESTA Monitor test piece.
The 2018 study was designed:
- to measure mainstream ISO and Intense smoke yields of nicotine-free dry particulate matter (NFDPM), nicotine (NIC) and carbon monoxide (CO) to verify the current monitor test piece CM8;
- to determine intra- and inter-laboratory variability for the measured ISO and Intense smoke yields for the CM8 and for the CM9;
- to verify the conditioned weight for the CM8 and for the CM9;
- to release CM9 as a new monitor test piece on the basis of the results mentioned above.
In summary the analytical results for the CM8 and the CM9 test pieces lead to the conclusion that they can be used as monitor test pieces in smoke analysis.
