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.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 172, Pulp, paper and board, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 6,
Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 2, Test methods and quality specifications for paper and board,
in accordance with the Agreement on Technical Cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 12625-1:2011), which has been
technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— change of the number of terms to those which directly concern tissue;
— the alphabetical index has been restructured because of the merging and addition of “term groups”;
— editorial updates.
A list of all parts in the ISO 12625 series can be found on the ISO website.

Introduction
This document defines terms for the determination of the physical properties of tissue paper
manufactured using creping or un-creped techniques, and includes products made using a combination
of these tissue-making processes.
Tissue products form an important and growing market for single-use disposable hygiene and
industrial products. The current range of these familiar products includes toilet tissue, facial tissue,
kitchen/household towels, hand towels, handkerchiefs, table napkins, mats, industrial wipes, other
absorbent tissue papers and lotion-treated products.
Tissue-paper-manufacturing technology has evolved and diverged from "ordinary" paper technology
so that a new glossary has become necessary.
The purpose of this document is to allow a common understanding of the various tissue-making
terms between tissue manufacturers, tissue converters and tissue customers, and to facilitate the
harmonization of testing methods. Each listed term is briefly defined and, where this was thought to
be useful, an example is given. While elaborating this document, English was chosen as the original
language. It was then stated that some expressions cannot be translated into another language. For
those cases, the English expression is used.

Vocabulary
1 Scope
This document establishes general principles for the use of terms in the entire working field of tissue
paper and tissue products.
It permits the use of a common terminology in industry and commerce.
It is expressly stated that ISO 15755 applies for the detection of impurities and contraries in tissue
paper and tissue products.
For the determination of moisture content in tissue paper and tissue products, ISO 287 applies.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— IEC Electropedia: available at http: //www .electropedia .org/
3.1
absorbency
ability of a tissue paper (3.58) and/or a tissue product (3.59) to take up a liquid
3.2 Absorption
3.2.1
absorption capacity
mass of liquid that is absorbed per unit mass of the test piece
Note 1 to entry: Water-absorption capacity is defined in ISO 12625-8.
3.2.2
absorption rate
mass of liquid that is absorbed by a test piece per unit time, determined by dividing the total mass of
liquid that is absorbed over a given time period by the duration of the period
3.2.3
absorption time
time required for complete wetting of a sample

ISO 12625-1:2019(E)
3.3
accelerated ageing
procedure which allows for the fast prediction of changes in the characteristics of tissue paper (3.58) or
tissue product (3.59) that occur in normal conditions over a longer time
Note 1 to entry: This is particularly the case for wet strength tissue paper or tissue product for which the wet
resistance occurs over time. An accelerated ageing procedure for determining wet strength is specified in
ISO 12625-5.
3.4
apparent bulk density
mass per unit volume of tissue paper (3.58) or tissue product (3.59), calculated from its grammage (3.28)
and bulking thickness (3.10)
Note 1 to entry: It is determined from the grammage of the tissue paper or the tissue product divided by the
thickness determined on a stack of that tissue.
[SOURCE: ISO 12625-3:2014, 3.4]
3.5
away-from-home tissue products
AFH tissue products
tissue products (3.59) intended for use in the institutional and industrial markets
EXAMPLE Tissue products used in hospitals, restaurants, hotels, offices.
3.6
base paper
single-ply tissue paper sheet produced as a semi-finished product intended to be converted to a
finish
