Or. Admin. Code § 837-035-0120 - Test Method
(1)
Cigarette varieties must be tested using the American Society
for Testing & Materials (ASTM) International specification E2187-04,
Standard Test Method for Measuring the Ignition Strength of
Cigarettes or another test method approved by the OSFM
consistent with ORS 476.770.
(2) The laboratory conducting ignition
propensity testing must have a quality control and assurance
program. The program must ensure the testing
repeatability value for all test trials used to certify a
cigarette variety. The repeatability value of ignition propensity testing may
not be greater than 0.19.
(3)
Ignition propensity testing used in a manufacturer
certification submitted to the OSFM must be conducted in a laboratory
accredited under:
(a) The International
Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission
ISO/IEC 17025 Standard of International Organization for Standardization,
or
(b) A standard recognized by the
OSFM consistent with ORS
476.775(b).
(4) Refer to ORS
476.770 and
476.775 for all testing and
quality control requirements.
(5) A
cigarette manufacturer may propose a test method and
performance standard if OSFM determines that a variety of
cigarettes cannot be tested as described in OAR
837-035-0120(1). Upon approval by the OSFM, the manufacturer
may use the test method and performance standard to certify the
cigarette.
