The IT example below shows tobacco filler and the 4 types of tobacco of which it is comprised listed as tobacco ingredients (IGDCMPID) for the Tobacco Product CIG01A (SPTOBID). The variable ITSPECIF shows the specification (variety) of the first three tobaccos. ITIGDPLX is used to indicate that Reconstituted Tobacco is a complex ingredient. (it has two more components) ITCURMTH indicates the cure method. ITSPFL is used to indicate whether complex ingredients were made to the applicant's specification. TPMF indicates the Tobacco Product Master File.Note that there are two varieties of burley tobacco in this tobacco product, thus each is given a unique IGDCMPID value (Burley Tobacco and Burley Tobacco 2). Note that following the team discussion on 12/13/22, we have added tobacco filler to the IT dataset below, so that all values of IGDCMPID in the IQ dataset have a match in IT (just as the top-level non-tobacco ingredients "FSC Paper B" and "Cellulose Filter A" are listed in the IN dataset). This allows for validation checks that every ingredient listed in the IT and IN datasets is quantified in the IQ data and vice versa.

The IN dataset example below shows the list of non-tobacco ingredients used in the tobacco product identified as CIG01A. Each unique ingredient is listed in IGDCMPID. Where applicable, IUPAC name and CAS number are listed (IUPACNAM and CASNO, respectively). INIGDPLX is used to indicate whether an ingredient is a single ingredient or a complex ingredient. INSPFL indicates whether complex ingredients were made to the applicant's specification. Grade, purity, manufacturer name and ID number, and the Tobacco Product Master File number complete the dataset.
Finally, the IQ domain is used to represent the quantity (target, minimum and maximum) of each ingredient identified in IGDCMPID that the product (SPTOBID) is designed to contain, with the units for these values represented in IQUNIT. The function of each ingredient is described in IQFUNCT. Ingredients that appear in more than one component of the tobacco product are quantified separately for each component. IQPARENT and IQLEVEL are used to identify the component/ingredient of which the ingredient in a record is a constituent component, and and at which level in the overall hierarchy the constituent ingredient appears. The following implementation rules apply:
IQPARENT must correspond to a value of IGDCMPID in the same dataset. If parent is null, the ingredient is considered a top-level component and is assigned a value of "1" in IQLEVEL.
Records describing ingredients that are constituent ingredients of another ingredient/component listed in the dataset will have IQPARENT value equal to the IGDCMPID of that ingredient/component. IQLEVEL will be set to n +1, where n=the parent record's value of IQLEVEL.
Every value of IGDCMPID used in the IQ dataset must have a matching value of IGDCMPID:
In the IT dataset (when IQCAT=TOBACCO INGREDIENT) or,
In the IN dataset (when IQCAT=NON-TOBACCO INGREDIENT)
Therefore, IQCAT is required to relate ingredient quantity records in IQ to the associated ingredient attributes described in either IT or IN.
The use of IQLPARENT and IQLEVEL help make explicit the relationship between complex ingredients and their constituents, and can assist when totaling the quantities of an ingredient that appears in multiple components of a tobacco product. The concept map below illustrates the representation of the hierarchical relationships between a complex ingredient and its constituent ingredients in the IQ domain structure.

The IQ dataset example illustrates the principles discussed above using a cigarette tobacco product:
Rows 1, 13, 16:
Show three top-level components of a cigarette product: tobacco filler, filter, and cigarette paper, respectively. Their target, minimum and maximum quantities expressed in units of mg/cigarette are shown in IQTARG, IQMIN, IQMAX and IQUNIT. Because there is no parent component other than the finished product itself, IQPARENT is null, and IQLEVEL = 1, indicating that these are top-level ingredients/components of the finished product.
Rows 2-5:
Show the quantities of four types of tobacco used in the product. IQPARENT=Tobacco Filler and IQLEVEL=2, together indicating that these are constituents of the tobacco filler, a top level-component of the cigarette product.
Rows 6-8:
Show the three constituent tobacco ingredients that comprise reconstituted tobacco in row 5 (IQPARENT=Reconstituted Tobacco). The quantities of these tobaccos pertain to the quantity at which they appear in the reconstituted tobacco ONLY. Therefore, the total quantity of the individual tobaccos used in this tobacco product is the sum of these three plus the sum of the quantities shown in rows 1-3. IQLEVEL=3 to show that these ingredients are at the 3rd level of the hierarchy (constituents of an ingredient with IQLEVEL=2).
Rows 9-10:
Show the quantities of two non-tobacco ingredients, Methylcellulose and 1,3-Butanediol, which are further constituent ingredients of Reconstituted Tobacco as indicated by IQPARENT. IQFUNCT shows that Methylcellulose functions as a binder and 1,3-Butanediol functions as a humectant. IQLEVEL=3 to show that these ingredients are at the 3rd level of the hierarchy.
Rows 11-12:
Show the quantities of two constituent ingredients that both function as a flavorant in the tobacco filler (as indicated by IQFUNCT= Flavor and IQPARENT=Tobacco Filler).
Rows 14-15:
Show the quantities of two constituent ingredients that function as filtration and plasticizer, respectively, in the filter portion of the cigarette (Cellulose Filter A, a top-level component shown in row 13).
Rows 17-22:
Show the quantities and functions of six constituent ingredients of the top-level component FSC Paper B (the cigarette paper shown in row 16).
