2022 Collaborative Study of CORESTA Monitor 9 (CM9) for the Determination of Test Piece Weight, TPM, Water, Nicotine, NFDPM, Carbon Monoxide and Puff Count Obtained under Mainstream ‘Non-Intense’ and ‘Intense’ Smoking Regimes

SA Technical Report

February 2023 Ref. SA-339-CTR

The CORESTA Smoke Analysis Sub-Group has been given the responsibility to organize the annual testing of the CORESTA Monitor test piece.

The current monitor is CORESTA Monitor 9 (CM9)

The 2022 study was designed:

to measure mainstream non-intense (ISO 3308) and intense (ISO 20778) smoke yields of nicotine-free dry particulate matter (NFDPM or tar), nicotine, carbon monoxide (CO), and puff count for CM9
to determine intra- and inter-laboratory variability for the measured non-intense and intense smoke yields for CM9
to verify the conditioned weight of CM9

The performance of the CM9 monitor in this testing was in line with its historical performance and continues to be a suitable smoke analysis monitor.
