BS EN ISO 20768:2021

What is ISO 20768 - Definitions and standard conditions for vaping machine about?

ISO 20768 focuses on vapour products.

ISO 20768:

• Defines the parameters and specifies the standard conditions for a vaping machine for vapour products
• Specifies technical requirements for the machine for routine analytical vaping, conforming with the standard conditions
• Does not specify the vapour product, the vapour product operation or the liquid to be used
• Does not specify the means for aerosol trapping, subsequent sample preparation or analyses of components in the trapped aerosol

Who is ISO 20768 - Definitions and standard conditions for vaping machine for? 

ISO 20768 on the definitions and standard conditions for vaping machine is useful for: 

• Vaping machine manufacturers
• Product design engineers
• Quality control and regulatory authorities

Why should you use ISO 20768 - Definitions and standard conditions for vaping machine?

Vapour products are devices intended for human use, most of which contain electronic components which vaporize a liquid to generate an aerosol carried by the air drawn through the device by the user. Machine testing is useful to characterize emissions for device development and regulatory purposes and may be used as inputs for product hazard assessment.

ISO 20768 has been developed to define and specify the requirements of machines used in laboratories to draw air through the devices in order to generate aerosol for subsequent analytical testing in a robust and reproducible manner.
