No. 18 - Sample Handling and Sample Collection of E-Cigarettes and E-Vapour Generating Products
The objective of this guide, for use by the industry and independent testing laboratories, is to describe the sample handling process after a sample has reached a laboratory and also to recommend general guidance for sample collection. The objective of sample handling is to minimise sample deterioration and to reduce variability in analytical results. The guide covers sample storage, e-liquid extraction preparation, sample conditioning and aerosol collection.
