Tobacco Reporting Regulations — 14
Report 14 (1) The report on emissions from designated tobacco products must set out, by brand, the information referred to in subsection (2) in respect of each type of designated tobacco product that a manufacturer sells during a year. Content of report (2) The report must, in respect of the emissions contained in the mainstream and sidestream smoke produced from a designated tobacco product that is placed in a smoking machine and combusted, identify the emissions set out in column 1 of Schedules 2 and 3 and the mean, standard deviation and 95% confidence limits (a) of the number of puffs; (b) of each emission, expressed in milligrams, micrograms or nanograms per unit; and (c) of the weight of tobacco contained in the designated tobacco product, expressed in milligrams per unit. Sampling (3) The sampling of designated tobacco products for the purpose of determining the amount of an emission is to be performed in accordance with the following procedures: (a) in the case of cigarettes, the procedures described in paragraph 12(3)(a); and (b) in the case of kreteks, the procedures described in paragraph 12(3)(b). Preparation (3.1) The sample to be used for the purpose of determining the amount of an emission is to be conditioned and smoked in an environment as described in the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO 3402, entitled Tobacco and tobacco products — Atmosphere for conditioning and testing , as amended from time to time. Replicates (4) The mean, standard deviation and 95% confidence limits of the amount of each emission must be based (a) in the case of tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide, on 20 replicates of a sample; and (b) in every other case, on 7 replicates of a sample. Method of collecting data (5) The following official methods must be used to collect data on the emissions contained in smoke produced from a designated tobacco product: (a) in the case of mainstream smoke, the applicable official method set out in column 2 of Schedule 2; and (b) in the case of sidestream smoke, the applicable official method set out in column 2 of Schedule 3. Conditions for the collection of data (6) For the purpose of subsection (2), the following conditions are to be used to determine the amount of an emission: (a) in the case of sidestream smoke, the conditions set out in the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO 3308, entitled Routine analytical cigarette-smoking machine — Definitions and standard conditions , as amended from time to time; and (b) in the case of mainstream smoke, the conditions referred to in paragraph (a), in addition to those same conditions as modified in the following manner: (i) puff volume must be increased from 35 mL to 55 mL, (ii) puff frequency must be increased from one puff every 60 s (± 0.5 s) to one puff every 30 s (± 0.5 s), and (iii) all ventilation holes must be blocked by placing over them a strip of Mylar adhesive tape, Scotch Brand product no. 600 Transparent Tape, and the tape must be cut so that it covers the circumference and is tightly secured from the end of the filter to the tipping overwrap seam, or by another method of equivalent efficiency. pH levels (7) The report must also set out the pH level of the mainstream smoke, determined in accordance with Official Method T-113, entitled Determination of Mainstream Tobacco Smoke pH , prepared by the Department of Health, dated December 31, 2017. Short report (8) A manufacturer may, instead of submitting the report referred to in subsection (1), submit a short report every two years in respect of its designated tobacco products sold during that two-year period if (a) in the case of cigarettes, the manufacturer’s total sales of that type of designated tobacco product, per year, is less than 1% of the total sales of that type of designated tobacco product in Canada in the year preceding the two-year period, as well as in the first year of that two-year period; and (b) in the case of kreteks, the manufact
