Doors and doorsets - Standard atmospheres for testing the performance of doors and doorsets placed between different climates
Applies to extenal and internal elements in ordinary buildings and houses, but do not apply to doors and doorsets in rooms with special atmospheres (such as doors to freezing rooms,etc.). The effect of humidity and/or temperature on the material as well as insufficient hygrothermal stability with respect to air penetration, sound insulation and operating force are measured and the change in the shape and dimensions determined. Four climate categories are specified.

Overview
ISO 8273:1985 - Doors and doorsets: Standard atmospheres for testing the performance of doors and doorsets placed between different climates - defines standard test atmospheres and procedures to assess how temperature and humidity differences affect doors and doorsets. The standard applies to external and internal elements in ordinary buildings and houses, but explicitly excludes doors in rooms with special atmospheres (for example, freezing-room doors).
This International Standard was prepared by ISO/TC 162 (Doors and windows) and establishes practical hygrothermal test conditions to measure material and functional changes caused by climatic differences on each side of a door or doorset.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Standard atmospheres: Four climate categories are specified to represent typical contrasting conditions a door may face. These atmospheres define target temperature and relative humidity values for each side of a door during testing.
- Preconditioning: Before exposure, doors and doorsets shall normally be preconditioned in an atmosphere of 23 ± 2 °C and 50 ± 5 % RH until temperature and moisture equilibrium is approximately achieved.
- Exposure time: The default standard exposure period is 28 days unless a different duration is specified by performance requirements; tests may end earlier if equilibrium is reached.
- Special sequence: One climate category includes an additional 24-hour exposure at −20 °C at the end of the conditioning period (no humidity requirement for that final step).
- Measured effects: The standard focuses on hygrothermal stability and how it affects performance metrics including:
- air penetration (air tightness),
- sound insulation,
- operating force (ease of operation),
- dimensional changes (shape and size distortion).
Applications and Who Uses It
ISO 8273:1985 is used by:
- Manufacturers and product designers to validate material choices and joint/assembly details against climate-induced deformation or performance loss.
- Independent test laboratories running standardized hygrothermal conditioning and performance tests on doors and doorsets.
- Certification bodies and specifiers who define performance criteria for building products and building envelope components.
- Architects and façade engineers specifying appropriate doorsets for buildings subjected to different interior/exterior climates.
The standard helps ensure reliable performance of doors under real-world temperature and humidity gradients, supporting product quality, compliance testing, and comparison between products.

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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 8273 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 162,
