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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 12625-3 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 first edition cancels and replaces EN 12625-3:1999, which has been technically revised.
With regard to EN 12625-3:1999, the following changes have been made:
a) more precise definitions;
b) more precise description of the apparatus;
c) preparation of test pieces more precisely described;
d) editorial updating.
ISO 12625 consists of the following parts, under the general title Tissue paper and tissue products:
 Part 1: General guidance on terms
 Part 3: Determination of thickness, bulking thickness and apparent bulk density
 Part 4: Determination of tensile strength, stretch at break and tensile energy absorption
 Part 5: Determination of wet tensile strength
 Part 6: Determination of grammage
 Part 7: Determination of optical properties
 Part 8: Water absorption time and water absorption capacity, basket immersion test method
 Part 9: Determination of ball burst strength

ISO 12625-3:2005(E)
Introduction
Thickness is an important property of tissue paper and tissue products.
In the tissue industry, thickness-related parameters, such as the roll diameter of rolled products (kitchen towel)
or the stack height of folded products (paper towels) are often measured. However, the fact that not only
end-use tissue products, but also the base tissue paper from which these products are made, is the subject of
trade between companies and countries, means that there is a genuine need for a consistent measure of
thickness that can be applied to tissue products at any stage of their manufacture.
The thickness of tissue paper and tissue products is known to be dependent on the pressure applied to the
material at the time of measurement. Several different loading pressures, pressure-foot diameters and loading
speeds have been used within the tissue industry. This part of ISO 12625 has been prepared by harmonising
those standards applicable to tissue and tissue products currently in use. It specifies a single loading pressure,
foot diameter and loading speed to be used for all thickness measurements of tissue and tissue products.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12625-3:2005(E)

Tissue paper and tissue products —
Part 3:
Determination of thickness, bulking thickness and apparent
bulk density
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12625 specifies a test method for the determination of thickness and bulking thickness, and
the calculation of apparent bulk density, of tissue paper and tissue products under a pressure of 2,0 kPa.
NOTE This part of ISO 12625 has been developed to provide a consistent test method for the determination of
thickness and density of tissue paper and tissue products. Corresponding test methods for paper and board in general are
covered in ISO 534.
It is expressly stated that the detection of impurities and contraries in tissue paper and tissue products should
be applied according to ISO 15755.
For the determination of moisture content in tissue paper and tissue products, ISO 287 should be applied.
