    Control or monitoring of the LIP testing process: The fitness for purpose of the LIP standard products

    WILKINSON P.(1); COLARD S.(1); VERRON T.(2); CAHOURS X.(2); PRITCHARD J.(1)
    (1) Imperial Tobacco Limited, Bristol, U.K.; (2) SEITA, Imperial Tobacco Group, Fleury-les-Aubrais, France
    Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP) is a product safety standard intended to increase the probability that a cigarette will self-extinguish under strictly controlled laboratory conditions. LIP compliance indicates that the probability that a cigarette...

    LIP cigarettes: Proposal for an alternative sampling design

    VERRON T.(1); CAHOURS X.(1); COLARD S.(2)
    (1) SEITA, Imperial Tobacco Group, Fleury-les-Aubrais, France; (2) Imperial Tobacco Limited, Bristol, U.K.
    Low ignition propensity cigarettes are intended to increase the chances of self-extinguishment under laboratory conditions following the protocol detailed in either ISO 12863:2010 test method or ASTM E2187-09. The safety requirements state that a...

    Analytical method to model human mouth-level transfer of ingredients from Swedish pouched snus

    GRAPTON S. (1); GADOIS-POMMEREUL S.(1); TROUDE V.(1); BLANCHET M. (1); CLARKE A.(2); SIMMS L.(2)
    (1) SEITA, Imperial Tobacco Group, Fleury-les-Aubrais, France; (2) Imperial Tobacco Limited, Bristol, U.K.
    In parallel with the human study[1] a laboratory in vitro assay was conducted with three media: artificial saliva, water and 1% ß-cyclodextrin in water, using two snus products that were indistinguishable apart from the flavour application rate. To...

    Tobacco reference materials: uses and limitations

    TEILLET B.(1); CAHOURS X.(1); COLARD S.(2)
    (1) SEITA, Imperial Tobacco Group, Fleury-les-Aubrais, France; (2) Imperial Tobacco Limited, Bristol, U.K.
    In the framework of the growing regulations of tobacco products, interest is expressed in wider characterisation in terms of contents and emissions. This leads to the need for analytical methods providing accurate, reliable and consistent data. This...
