Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 17746 (569562):

This document specifies the method for the determination of nicotine delivery consistency of an electronic cigarette over the duration of use of e-liquid in the reservoir or a battery charge.
This document:
- defines the equipment to be used;
- specifies the preparation of the e-cigarette samples for testing;
- specifies the aerosol generation process;
- specifies the analytical method;
- specifies the determination of the test result.
This document does not seek to demonstrate whether there is consistency of nicotine delivery between e-cigarettes. The latter is the aim of a separate method under development, EN 17634 Electronic cigarettes and e-liquids - Determination of nicotine delivery consistency over defined puff sequences of a number of e-cigarettes of identical type. Two separate methods have been developed to determine consistency of nicotine delivery, pending regulatory clarity on the Tobacco Products Directive´s requirement to "deliver nicotine doses at consistent levels"
