ISO/TC 126/SC 3 - Vape and vapour products
Standardization of terminology, test methods and product information for vapour products Vapour products mean any product that is used to transform an e-liquid into an inhalable aerosol and also the e-liquid intended for its transformation into an aerosol. Vapour products also cover a wide range of devices including vapour devices, electronic cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, e-shishas and other similar products as well as their components. The device may be disposable or reusable due to rechargeable batteries, replaceable single use cartridges or a refillable liquid reservoir. It could be also of a fixed or a modular design Pharmaceutical products are excluded from the scope.
Vapotage et produits associés
Normalisation de la terminologie, des méthodes d’essai et des informations de produit dans le domaine des produits de vapotage Un produit de vapotage désigne tout produit utilisé pour transformer un e-liquide en un aérosol inhalable et également le e-liquide destiné à être transformé en aérosol. Les produits de vapotage couvrent aussi une large gamme de dispositifs qui englobe les cigarettes électroniques, les cigares électroniques, les pipes électroniques, les chichas électroniques ainsi que d’autres produits analogues et leurs composants. Le dispositif peut être à usage unique ou réutilisable grâce à des batteries rechargeables, des cartouches à usage unique pouvant être remplacées ou un réservoir de liquide pouvant être rempli à nouveau. Ces dispositifs peuvent être conçus d’un seul tenant ou comme des produits modulaires Les produits pharmaceutiques sont exclus du domaine d’application

This document specifies a method of measurement of the masses of e-liquid vaporised and the aerosol collected from vapour product(s). It does not specify the vapour product(s), the vapour product(s) operational settings or, e-liquid to be used. NOTE Application of this document can be required as a preliminary step for subsequent analyses.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the amount of selected carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde and acetaldehyde) as their 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones in vapour product emissions using reversed phase liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet or diode array detector (LC-UV or LC-DAD). This document does not include the analysis of other carbonyl compounds, such as acrolein and crotonaldehyde, due to previous work indicated issues associated with stability of these compounds in the e-liquid solutions that were used to evaluate method performance[4].

ISO/TC 126/SC 3 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Vape and vapour products" and is responsible for: Standardization of terminology, test methods and product information for vapour products Vapour products mean any product that is used to transform an e-liquid into an inhalable aerosol and also the e-liquid intended for its transformation into an aerosol. Vapour products also cover a wide range of devices including vapour devices, electronic cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, e-shishas and other similar products as well as their components. The device may be disposable or reusable due to rechargeable batteries, replaceable single use cartridges or a refillable liquid reservoir. It could be also of a fixed or a modular design Pharmaceutical products are excluded from the scope. This committee has published 6 standards.
ISO/TC 126/SC 3 develops ISO standards in the area of Information technology.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
