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.

Agreement).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 5270:2012), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— 6.2: rewriting of the subclause;
— 6.3: permission to perform optical tests on sheets formed using the Rapid-Köthen method if the
sheets are dried at room temperature;
— 6.4: introduction of a minimum area for grammage determination;
— 7.2 inclusion of the option to report strain at break following determination of tensile properties;
— 7.5: inclusion of the option to determine air permeance using the Oken method.

Introduction
This document provides the determination of physical properties of both low-grammage sheets and
high-grammage sheets, prepared according to ISO 5269-1, ISO 5269-2 or ISO 5269-3. The oven-dry
2
grammage of low-grammage sheets is (60 ± 2) g/m using the conventional sheet former, as described
2
in ISO 5269-1 and ISO 5269-3, or (75 ± 2) g/m using the Rapid-Köthen sheet former, as described in
2
ISO 5269-2 and ISO 5269-3. The oven-dry grammage of high-grammage sheets is 140 g/m , with a
tolerance of 3 % using the conventional and the Rapid Köthen sheet formers, except for the z-directional
2
tensile strength where the grammage is ≥90 g/m .
This document refers to the relevant International Standards for paper and board for the description and
calibration of the required equipment, and for the calculation and reporting of results. This document,
however, specifies the procedures for testing laboratory sheets where the amount of material is limited,
compared to testing of paper and board to which the relevant International Standards referred to are
applicable, and for that reason there can be a discrepancy in the procedures.

Introduction
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) [and/or] International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) draw[s] attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document
may involve the use of a patent.
ISO [and/or] IEC take[s] no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has ensured ISO [and/or] IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate licences
under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world.
In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with ISO [and/or] IEC.
Information may be obtained from the patent database available at www .iso .org/ patents.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights other than those in the patent database. ISO [and/or] IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document includes the determination of physical properties of both “low grammage” sheets and
“high grammage” sheets, prepared in accordance with ISO 5269-1, ISO 5269-2 or ISO 5269-3. The oven-
2
dry grammage of the “low grammage” sheets is (60 ± 2) g/m using the conventional sheet former,
2
as described in ISO 5269-1 and ISO 5269-3, or (75 ± 2) g/m using the Rapid-Köthen sheet former, as
described in ISO 5269-2 and ISO 5269-3. The oven-dry grammage of the “high grammage” sheets is
2
140 g/m , with a tolerance of 3 % using the conventional and the Rapid Köthen sheet formers, except
2
for the z-directional tensile strength where the grammage is ≥ 90 g/m .
For determination of physical properties, ISO 5270 refers to the relevant International Standards for
paper and board for the description and calibration of the required equipment, and for the calculation
and reporting of results. This document, however, specifies the procedures for testing laboratory sheets
where the amount of material is limited, compared to testing of paper and board to which the relevant
International Standards referred to are applicable, and for that reason there may be a discrepancy in
the procedures.

determination of zero-span tensile strength, wet or dry.
3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
4 Principle
Determination of physical properties of laboratory sheets using the procedure and equipment described
in the relevant International Standards given in Tables 1 and 2. The results are, if applicable, reported
in index form.
NOTE The properties to be measured are jointly determined by the pulp producer and the pulp user.
5 Apparatus
The equipment is specified in the respective International Standards given in Tables 1 and 2 to
which this International Standard refers. The equipment shall be calibrated in accordance with the
instructions in the relevant International Standards given in Tables 1 and 2.
6 Trimmed Laboratory Sheets
6.1 Selection of Laboratory Sheets
Depending on the properties to be tested, determine the number of laboratory sheets required (see
Table 1 and/or Table 2). The specification of the number of test pieces needed for each property defines
the area required for testing and thus the number of sheets.
Each sheet shall be free of visible defects.
6.2 Conditioning of Laboratory Sheets
Condition the laboratory sheets in the standard atmosphere (23 ± 1) °C and (50 ± 2) % relative humidity,
or in the atmosphere allowed in tropical countries, according to ISO 187.
ISO 187 states in its Introduction that “Unless otherwise specified, the equilibrium condition should
be attained by the sorptive process”. For tests in which the hysteresis of the equilibrium moisture
content may lead to errors that are significant, ISO 187 requires the sample to be pre-conditioned
before conditioning (see 7.1) unless it is known that conditioning will result in an equilibrium moisture
content equivalent to that achieved by sorption or the samples have been
