1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose/Scope

This proficiency test serves as an assessment of the capability of the participating laboratories

to properly measure physical parameters on cigarettes and filters. Although it is not required

for a proficiency test to define the measurement method, in practice all laboratories closely

followed CORESTA Recommended Methods or the respective ISO standards.

The test results allow each laboratory to evaluate its performance in comparison to other

laboratories and to derive actions for improvement. All results are presented in anonymised

form.

1.2 Study Summary

The test protocol used for this study is given in Appendix A “2015 PTM Proficiency Test –

Study Protocol” of this report, covering:

Cover sheet with participant details

List and description of evaluated products and samples

Protocol

o Preparation of samples

o Instrument set up

o Calibration of instruments

o Making measurements

o Recording and transfer of results

Table 1 - Type and Number of Products tested

The cigarette samples have been provided by the manufacturer of the respective brand. Filter

samples have been provided by Solvay Acetow GmbH.

For each of the ten products (F1-F5 and C1-C5) three sets of samples randomly taken from a

larger sample batch have been prepared and provided to the participants.

PTM-063-CTR 8th Prof. Test 2015 on Physical Parameters – February 2017 4/78

Parameters tested and subjected to statistical analysis:

Filter Products F1-F5

Filter Individual Weight (Wgt, Wt)

Filter Diameter

Filter Pressure Drop (PD) (fully encapsulated)

Cigarette Products C1-C5

Cigarette Individual Weight

Cigarette Diameter

Cigarette Draw Resistance (PD open)

Cigarette Draw Resistance (PD closed)

Cigarette Filter Ventilation (FV)

Table 2 - Measurements required for each parameter:

Evaluation 1:

For each product C1-C5 and F1-F5 three sample sets (representing as well the three days of

analysis) have been analysed for parameters as given above. Per sample 10 cigarettes or filter

rods have been measured.

Evaluation 2:

In order to potentially exclude the sample-to-sample variation, the laboratory variation was

evaluated when measuring exactly the same sample repeatedly. Therefore sample 1 of filters

F1-F5 was measured on day 1 and then re-measured on day 2 and day 3 of the study.

Remark: The measurements performed for evaluation 2 are supposed not to have a noticeable

impact on the test sample, which is valid for filter rods only.

Participating companies / laboratories and related contact names:

A total of 21 laboratories provided results for this study.

Table 3 - Participating companies / laboratories

Information relevant to the interpretation of the results

Participants were asked to provide relevant data regarding instruments used, calibration of

instruments and environmental conditions in the instrument configuration sheet (for details

see Appendix A “2015 PTM Proficiency Test – Study Protocol”).

Participants followed the respective CORESTA Recommended Methods (CRM N° 6) or ISO

standards (ISO 6565, ISO 9512) to perform the measurements in the frame of this study as

given in section 5 “References” of this report.

A more detailed statistical data analysis is available for the participating laboratories on

request to the Physical Test Methods Sub Group.

2. RAW DATA

Results for cigarette samples were submitted by 20 participants. Results for filter samples

were submitted by 20 participants. One laboratory provided only cigarette data and one lab

provided only filter data. Each participant was assigned a unique code.

Once a data set was received from a laboratory, the data were inspected for any obvious

inconsistencies by the PTM proficiency test coordination group. Any inconsistencies were

reported back to the laboratory for comment or correction. In general typing errors were

corrected. The consolidated data as provided for statistical analysis are given in Appendix B

“2015 Proficiency Test – Raw Data – Laboratories encoded”.

3. STATISTICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Outlier Analysis and Removal

For this report the z-scores have been calculated as a basis to evaluate the laboratory

performance. It has to be noted that even though values from a laboratory have been excluded

by the use of Cochran and Grubbs outlier treatment, for the calculation of the global mean and

standard deviations, its performance was nevertheless evaluated. Thus the only use of outlier

detection was relative to the establishment of the assigned means and standard deviations.

Cochran’s test was applied first to eliminate laboratories with unusually high standard

deviations and then Grubbs’s test was used to detect whether the one or two highest and

lowest values in the data set qualify as outliers. If yes, the outliers were removed. Each outlier

test was applied once and after the first removal of outliers no further outliers were detected.

For the calculation of these statistics a global mean value and a global standard deviation for

each of the samples C1-C5 and F1-F5 is required. ISO 13528:2015 indicates to a substantial

part methods to obtain such a robust estimate of global mean values and standard deviations.

The number of data sets and data sets excluded from the global mean calculations are given in

Appendix C “2015 PTM Proficiency Test - Summary of data sets and outliers”.

3.2 Laboratory means and within laboratory standard deviation after

outlier removal

Summary tables of laboratory means and standard deviations after outlier removal are given

in:

3.4 Laboratory Proficiency – z-scores

To enable the calculation of z-scores the robust global mean and robust between labs standard

deviations have been calculated, using ISO Algorithm A.

The respective data are given in

Appendix G “2015 PTM Proficiency Test – Robust global mean and between laboratory

standard deviation”

Tables of the individual z-scores per product ID, test parameter and laboratory are given in:

Appendix H “2015 PTM Proficiency Test–Individual z-scores–Cigarettes”.

Appendix I “2015 PTM Proficiency Test–Individual z-scores–Filters–Evaluation 1”.

Appendix J “2015 PTM Proficiency Test–Individual z-scores–Filters–Evaluation 2”.

4. INTERPRETATION OF SCORES/CONCLUSIONS

4.1 Interpretation and conclusions regarding z-scores – laboratory

proficiency

As described in ISO 13528, in normal circumstances, over time, about 95% of z-scores will

lie in the range -2 ≤ z ≤ 2.

Occasional scores in the range 2 <|z| <3 are to be expected, at a rate of 1 in 20. Whether or not

such scores are of importance can only be decided by considering them in the context of the

other scores obtained by that laboratory. Scores where |z| >3 are to be expected at a rate of

about 1 in 300. Given this rarity, such z-scores strongly indicate that the result is not fit-for-

purpose and almost certainly requires investigation.

4.2 Interpretation and conclusions regarding z-scores – laboratory

proficiency from evaluation 2 of filter products

The mean values and standard deviation obtained for

filter evaluation (1) F1-F5 with 3 samples (sample 1 day 1, sample 2 day 2, sample 3 day

3)

filter evaluation (2) F1-F5 with sample one re-measured on day 2 and day 3 are

comparable.

Laboratories showing substantial deviations from global mean values, that is, having z-scores

greater than 3 are the same in both evaluations.

All measurements should take place in an environment according to ISO 3402 (Testing atmosphere: (22±2)°C, (60±5)% rH).Give comments in case of deviation.

Prepare for each product – see data sheet: products - 3 separate samples ( #1,#2,#3) of 10 filter rods / cigarettes.

Inspect prepared samples visually to avoid measurements of damaged samples

Samples should be unpacked and conditioned as accurately as possible for 48h (conditioning time can affect the level / results of physical parameters !) regarding

Sample 1 is measured on Day1, sample 2 on Day2 and sample 3 on Day3. Exception see 1.5.

To avoid changes in sample-moisture the samples should be transferred from conditioning environment to the instrument in tightly closed plastic boxes.

The instrument system should be arranged to make the weight measurement first, followed by diameter or PD and ventilation (the order of these last three is normally

provided by the instrument system)

Before making measurements, the instrument(s) should be set up to accept the sample being measured ( e.g. for slim products – hopper
