Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Introduction
Optical measurements are affected by the geometry of the instruments used and by the texture of the
material. The design of the instrument to be used according to this part of ISO 12625, and the routine to
be adopted for its calibration are specified in ISO 2469.
The optical properties are related to the visual appearance of the material. Although optical properties
are intrinsic properties of tissue paper, they are not functional properties.
The opacity value depends on the principle used for its evaluation, and a method is to be chosen which
most closely relates to the interpretation to be placed upon the results. The method described in this
part of ISO 12625 is applicable
