Overview
ISO 11093-2:1994 - "Paper and board - Testing of cores - Part 2: Conditioning of test samples" specifies the conditioning atmospheres, apparatus and procedures for preparing cores (spool cores, paperboard cores) prior to physical testing. Based on ISO 187, this part of ISO 11093 defines how to bring test specimens to a stable moisture equilibrium so that subsequent measurements (dimensional, strength, flat crush, etc.) are repeatable and comparable.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Conditioning atmospheres: The standard defines standard atmospheres (e.g., the preferred 23 °C ±1 and 50 % RH ±2, with an alternate atmosphere around 27 °C/65 % RH as shown in the table) to be used for conditioning and testing cores.
- Climatic chamber and instrumentation: Conditioning must take place in a climatic chamber equipped with automatic control and air circulation to maintain uniform temperature and relative humidity at relevant points in the chamber. Monitoring follows procedures in ISO 187 (and ISO 554 for tolerance specifications).
- Pre-drying: To accelerate moisture equilibration, specimens may be pre-dried for 48 h in air at 40 °C ±2 °C and at 20–35 % RH before conditioning.
- Equilibrium criterion: Moisture equilibrium is reached when two consecutive weighings, at least 48 h apart, differ by no more than 0.1 % of mass.
- Specimen placement: Test pieces must be arranged to give air free access to all surfaces during conditioning.
- Conditioning report: Test records must include reference to the standard, specimen type, place/date of conditioning, number of specimens, conditioning atmosphere and duration, and any deviations from the method.
Applications and users
ISO 11093-2 is used by:
- Quality control and testing laboratories assessing paperboard and spool/core performance.
- Paper and board manufacturers and converters who need consistent test conditions for cores.
- Packaging engineers and R&D teams who evaluate core properties (dimensional stability, moisture-related behaviour) under standard atmospheres.
- Certification and compliance bodies requiring standard conditioning before mechanical or dimensional tests.
Practical benefits include improved repeatability of core tests, reduced variability from moisture differences, and consistent reporting for contractual or regulatory comparisons.

- ISO 554:1976 - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and/or testing - tolerances (referenced for tolerances).

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. Esch 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 11093-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee SC 3, Dimensions and
grammage of Paper, board and pulp products.
ISO 11093 consists of the following Parts, under the general title Paper
