PD ISO/TS 22491:2019

What is ISO/TS 22491 - Determination of carbon monoxide in the vapor phase of waterpipe tobacco smoke about?  

ISO/TS 22491 specifies a method for the determination of carbon monoxide (CO) in the vapor phase of waterpipe tobacco smoke. 

Who is ISO/TS 22491 - Determination of carbon monoxide in the vapor phase of waterpipe tobacco smoke for? 

ISO/TS 22491 on the determination of carbon monoxide (CO) in waterpipe tobacco is applicable to: 

• Tobacco industry 
• Waterpipe tobacco manufacturers 

Why should you use ISO/TS 22491 - Determination of carbon monoxide in the vapor phase of waterpipe tobacco smoke? 

The waterpipe tobacco smoke releases carbon monoxide gas which is poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that is produced when carbon-containing fuel burns incompletely. Cigarette smoke contains a high level of carbon monoxide. Therefore it is harmful to consume by the end-users. Hence, ISO/TS 22491 specifies the test methods to reduce the carbon monoxide gas in the vapor phase of waterpipe tobacco. 

ISO/TS 22491 uses NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) method to detect the carbon monoxide from the vapor phase in waterpipe tobacco smoke. NDIR is detectors are an industry-standard method of measuring the concentration of carbon oxides. ISO/TS 22491 helps you to manufacture good quality waterpipe tobacco smoke and it won’t harm the end-users.
