Alcance y aplicabilidad

GB 2635-1992 applies to bundled flue-cured tobacco that has been initially cured or redried but has not undergone fermentation. It serves as the mandatory basis for grading, purchasing, and handover transactions within the domestic market, while export supply is primarily based on physical samples. This standard is essential for all entities involved in the domestic trading and processing of raw tobacco leaves in China. It does not apply to fermented tobacco or finished tobacco products.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard establishes a comprehensive grading system based on seven appearance factors: maturity, leaf structure, body, oil, color intensity, length, and waste. Manufacturers must strictly adhere to these visual quality factors to determine the exact grade of the tobacco. The system divides tobacco into groups based on stalk position (lower, middle, upper) and color (lemon, orange, brown), resulting in a complex classification of 42 distinct grades. Physical and chemical control factors are also specified, including strict limits on moisture content, sand content, and injury rates. The standard mandates specific packaging requirements, dictating that materials must be sturdy, dry, clean, and odorless. Each package must contain tobacco from the same production area and identical grade, with clear labeling indicating origin, grade, weight, and date. Storage and transportation conditions must prevent moisture, mold, pests, and contamination from odorous or toxic materials.

Métodos de ensayo

Quality inspection is primarily conducted via sensory evaluation, where trained inspectors assess the visual and tactile characteristics of the leaves against physical standard samples. Moisture content is determined using either a sensory method or a precise oven-drying method (referencing GB 8170 for numerical rounding). Sand and dust content are measured through a combination of sensory brushing and a weight-based method using a specific separation sieve. Additionally, a combustion test is employed to determine the fire-holding capacity and calculate the extinguishing rate of the leaves.

Yes, the standard has been updated via two modification notices. Notably, Modification No. 2 expanded the grading system from 40 to 42 grades by adding two new middle-section grades (C4L and C4F), and adjusted several quality factors like leaf structure and body for specific upper leaf grades.

How does GB 2635-1992 differ from ISO standards?

GB 2635-1992 is a highly specific national standard tailored for the Chinese tobacco industry's domestic purchasing and grading framework. It utilizes a unique 42-grade classification system based on stalk positions and colors, which differs structurally from general international ISO standards for tobacco.
