Scope

This standard specifies terms and definitions used throughout ISO tobacco standards and related documents. It classifies entries under headings such as: types of tobacco and tobacco products (excluding Oriental tobacco), smoking and smoking machines, physical characteristics, chemical composition and smoke constituents, sampling and testing of tobacco and products, plus a dedicated section for terms related to Oriental leaf tobacco. The vocabulary is intended to support harmonized interpretation of test methods and product descriptions.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for tobacco types and tobacco products (leaf, cut, processed products).
• Terms related to smoking behavior and smoking machines used in testing.
• Definitions of physical characteristics of products (dimensions, weight, construction).
• Vocabulary for chemical composition of tobacco and smoke constituents.
• Sampling and testing terminology to align laboratory procedures and reports.
• Specific terminology for Oriental leaf tobacco structure, harvesting and baling.

These topics are intended to remove ambiguity in test methods and product specifications across stakeholders.

Typical use and users

Used by standards writers, testing laboratories, tobacco product manufacturers, regulatory authorities, quality managers and researchers who require consistent terminology when drafting, implementing or interpreting test methods, specifications and technical reports in the tobacco sector. National standards bodies may also use the vocabulary when adopting the ISO text as a national standard.
