Introduction
The physical properties of paper are affected by its moisture content which, in turn, is dependent on the
relative humidity (RH) of the surrounding atmosphere and its history. In order that tests can be made
on paper in a defined physical state, it is brought into equilibrium in an atmosphere of standardized
temperature and relative humidity.
The moisture content of a given paper in equilibrium with a given atmosphere varies according to
whether the equilibrium is reached by sorption or by desorption of moisture and how far the moisture
content is from its equilibrium value. This hysteresis influences those physical properties that change
with moisture content. Preconditioning paper from low relative humidity and then bringing it into the
standard atmosphere will avoid most of the hysteresis effect. Typically, the variation in the moisture
content of a given sample is less than 0,15 % when the sample is later conditioned to 50 % RH and 23 °C.
Unless otherwise specified, the equilibrium condition should be attained from a low relative humidity.
For a number of years, three standard test atmospheres have been in common use:
20 °C/65 % RH;
23 °C/50 % RH;
27 °C/65 % RH.
Since 1993, the atmosphere of 23 °C /50 % RH has been considered the ISO standard test atm

The physical properties of paper are affected by its moisture content which, in turn, is dependent on
the relative humidity of the surrounding atmosphere and its history. In order that tests may be made
on paper in a defined physical state, it is brought into equilibrium in an atmosphere of standardized
temperature and relative humidity, and tested in that atmosphere.
The moisture content of a given paper in equilibrium with a given atmosphere varies according to
whether the equilibrium is reached by sorption or by desorption of moisture and how far the moisture
content is from its equilibrium value. This hysteresis influences those physical properties that change
with moisture content. Preconditioning paper from low relative humidity and then bringing it into
the standard atmosphere will avoid most of the hysteresis effect and typically result in the moisture
content of a given sample being within 0.15% when the sample is later conditioned to 50% r.h. and 23°C.
Unless otherwise specified, the equilibrium condition should be attained from a low relative humidity.
For a number of years three standard test atmospheres had been in common use:
20 °C/65 % r.h.;
23 °C/50 % r.h. and
27 °C/65 % r.h.
Since 1993 the atmosphere of 23°C /50% r.h. has been considered the ISO standard test atmosphere for
testing of pulp, paper, and board. However, this atmosphere may be difficult to attain in some countries
located in tropical zones, and in such countries the 27°C /65% r.h. atmosphere is permitted.
