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).

4 Principle
A test piece of tissue paper or tissue product, of given dimensions, is stretched to break at a constant
rate of elongation using a tensile-testing apparatus that measures and records the tensile force as a
function of the elongation of the test piece.
From the recorded data, the tensile strength, the corresponding stretch at maximum force and the
tensile energy absorption can be calculated.
The test can be carried out by a vertical or a horizontal tensile strength tester. Precision data are
available in Annex A.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Tensile-testing apparatus
5.1.1 General
The tensile-testing apparatus shall be in accordance with ISO 1924-2. It is capable of stretching a test
piece of tissue paper or tissue product of given dimensions, at a constant rate of elongation of 50 %
of the initial test span length per minute (%/min); i.e. 50 mm/min for a 100 mm test span length and
25 mm/min for a 50 mm test span length, and recording the tensile force as a function of elongation on
a strip chart recorder or any equivalent device.
The elongation shall be recorded to an accuracy of ± 0,1 mm. The measurement of the elongation shall
start at a tension of (5 ± 1) N/m.
The force-measuring system shall measure loads with an accuracy of ± 1 % of the reading or ± 0,01 N,
