ISO Standards for Testing Cigarette Paper

 

This article introduces the ISO standards for cigarette paper quality control.

But, before you begin, be sure to have a look at this article:

Unveiling Precision: TESTING PARAMETERS FOR CIGARETTE PAPER QUALITY ASSURANCE

• There, you can see most parameters we use for cigarette paper quality inspection.
• Then, let’s begin.

 

Why are ISO standards?

In the meticulous world of cigarette manufacturing, where precision is paramount, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a comprehensive set of standards specifically tailored for testing cigarette paper.

These standards play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, safety, and consistency of this crucial component in the production process.

As a professional specialty paper manufacturer, Jinfeng ensures that all our paper products comply with essential international standards.

Now, let’s delve into the ISO standards designed to uphold the integrity of cigarette paper testing.

ISO 2965: Sampling of Tobacco and Tobacco Products:

The first step in testing cigarette paper involves proper sampling. ISO 2965 provides guidelines for the representative sampling of tobacco and tobacco products, ensuring that the selected samples accurately reflect the characteristics of the entire batch. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers lay the foundation for reliable and meaningful testing procedures.

DIN EN ISO 536: Determining the Grammage of Paper and Board

DIN EN ISO 536 plays a pivotal role in the cigarette papers industry, providing a standardized and internationally recognized method for determining grammage.

As an integral part of quality control and process management, this standard ensures that manufacturers meet industry requirements and customer expectations.

By adhering to DIN EN ISO 536, the cigarette paper industry maintains a foundation of precision, reliability, and global compatibility in the measurement of grammage.

DIN EN ISO 534: Determining Paper and Board – Thickness and Apparent Bulk Density

DIN EN ISO 534 plays a pivotal role in the cigarette paper industry, providing a standardized and internationally recognized method for determining thickness and apparent bulk density.

As an integral part of quality control and process management, this standard ensures that manufacturers meet industry requirements and customer expectations.

By adhering to DIN EN ISO 534, the cigarette paper industry maintains a foundation of precision, reliability, and global compatibility in the measurement of these critical characteristics.

DIN EN ISO 1924-2: Testing Paper and Board – Determination of Tensile Properties

DIN EN ISO 1924 stands as a cornerstone in the paper industry, providing a standardized and internationally recognized method for determining tensile properties.

Through precise tensile testing, manufacturers can ensure that their products possess the mechanical strength required for diverse applications.

By adhering to DIN EN ISO 1924, the paper and board industry maintains a foundation of quality, reliability, and global compatibility in the assessment of tensile strength and elongation.

DIN ISO 2965

Materials used as cigarette papers, filter plug wrap and filter jointing paper, including materials having a discrete or oriented permeable zone and materials with bands of differing permeability.

ISO 2470:2016 Paper and board — Determination of opacity (paper backing) — Diffuse reflectance method.

• Scope: This standard specifies a method for determining the opacity of paper and board using a diffuse reflectance measurement.
• Method: The method involves measuring the reflectance of the paper or board backed with a standard white backing material.

DIN EN ISO 287:2018-03

This International Standard specifies an oven-drying method for the determination of the moisture content of a lot of paper and board.

ISO 187:2022(en)

This standard specifies the standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing pulp, paper, and board, the conditioning procedure, and the procedures for measuring the temperature and relative humidity.

Apparently, I cannot list all related standards. Some parameters should comply with domestic standards, as per the request of the China Tobacco Bureau.

In conclusion, ISO standards in cigarette manufacturing are essential tools that promote quality, safety, and consistency within the industry.

Manufacturers embracing these standards not only meet regulatory requirements but also contribute to the overall advancement and integrity of the global cigarette manufacturing landscape.
