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).

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers

to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

ISO 12625-15 was prepared by 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 for quality specifications for paper and board, in accordance

with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

ISO 12625 consists of the following parts, under the general title Tissue paper and tissue products:

Introduction

Brightness and colour measurement may be performed under various illumination and observation

conditions. This part of ISO 12625 deals with C/2° conditions, which refer to an indoor daylight.

D65/10° conditions (outdoor daylight) are considered in ISO 12625-7. Although both standards deal

with brightness and colour, results obtained are usually different and do not correlate.

Optical measurements are affected by the geometry of the instruments used and by the texture of the

material. The design of the instrument to be used according to this part of ISO 12625, and the routine to

be adopted for its calibration are specified in ISO 2469 and ISO 2470-1.

The optical properties are related to the visual appearance of the material in a specified illumination condition.

Although optical properties are intrinsic properties of tissue paper, they are not functional properties.

Brightness is not to be confused with the optical property called CIE-whiteness, which is based on

reflectance data obtained over the full visible spectral range (VIS). In contrast, brightness is limited to

the blue region of VIS (visible spectrum).

As preferences for the properties to be specified can vary by country/market, three different test

methods for the determination of optical properties were developed:

— Part 7: Determination of optical properties — Measurement of brightness and colour with D65/10°

(outdoor daylight);

— Part 15: Determination of optical properties — Measurement of brightness and colour with C/2°

(indoor daylight);

— Part 16: Determination of optical properties — Measurement of opacity (paper backing) — Diffuse

reflectance method.

Tissue paper and tissue products —

Determination of optical properties — Measurement of
brightness and colour with C/2° (indoor daylight) illuminant
1 Scope

This part of ISO 12625 specifies testing procedures for the instrumental determination of brightness

and colour of tissue paper and tissue products viewed in indoor daylight conditions. It also gives

specific instructions for the preparation of test pieces (single-ply, multi-ply products) and for the optical

measurements of products, where special precautions may be necessary.

NOTE The properties called D65 brightness and colour are measured with an instrument adjusted to a much

higher UV content than that specified in this part of ISO 12625. The measurements of D65 brightness and colour

are described in ISO 12625-7.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
reflectance factor

ratio of the radiation reflected by a body to that reflected by the perfect diffuser under the same

conditions of illumination and detection
Note 1 to entry: The reflectance factor is expressed as a percentage.

Note 2 to entry: The reflectance factor is influenced by the backing if the body is translucent.
