Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 a) Scope of the standard has been expanded to cover test methods for both unmanufactured and manufactured tobacco used in tobacco products b) New clauses on determination of organochlorine pesticide residues; ammonia; reducing carbohydrates; residual stem content in threshed tobacco; strip particle size of leaf tobacco; width of the strands of cut tobacco; nitrate content; reducing and total sugars; and tobacco-specific nitrosamines by relevant Indian standards have been added. c) New clause on replication of analysis has been added to ensure reliable test results. d) Provision of conditioning of samples has been removed e) For determination of total alkaloids by continuous flow analysis, the earlier test method has been replaced with IS 16832 . f) For determination of acid-insoluble ash, the earlier test method has been replaced with IS 16236 for determination of silicated residues insoluble in hydrochloric acid.
