描述烟草业参与制定烟草和烟草制品国际标准的程度，以及烟草业对国际标准化组织（ISO）的影响。方法分析作为明尼苏达州烟草审判和主和解协议和解的一部分而公开的烟草业文件。搜索词包括“ISO”、“CORESTA”、“Barclay”、“补偿和机器吸烟”、“焦油和尼古丁交付”以及关键参与者的名称，以不同的组合。在确定科学证据和提出最终在若干领域被采纳为烟草和烟草制品国际标准的标准方面发挥重要作用，结论-ISO的烟草和烟草制品标准不足以指导烟草制品的监管政策，没有健康声称可以根据ISO的烟草制品标准。世界各地的烟草控制倡导者和团体迫切需要直接或通过其国家标准化组织更多地参与ISO的工作。
Objective-To describe the extent of the tobacco industry involvement in establishing international standards for tobacco and tobacco products and the industry influence on the international Organization for Standardization (ISO).Methods-Analysis of tobacco industry documents made public as part of the settlement of the Minnesota Tobacco Trial and the Master Settlement Agreement. Search words included "ISO", "CORESTA", "Barclay", "compensation and machine smoking", "tar and nicotine deliveries", and the name of key players, in different combinations.Results-It is clear that the tobacco industry, through the Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco (CORESTA), play a major role in determining the scientific evidence and suggesting the standards that are eventually adopted as international standards for tobacco and tobacco products in several areas, including the measurement of cigarette tar and nicotine yield.Conclusions-ISO's tobacco and tobacco products standards are not adequate to guide tobacco products regulatory policies, and no health claims can be made based on ISO's tobacco products standards. There is an urgent need for tobacco control advocates and, groups worldwide to be more involved with the work of the ISO, both directly and through their national standardisation organisations.
