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.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps, Subcommittee
SC 2, Test methods and quality specifications for paper and board, in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 172, Pulp, paper and board, in
accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 187:1990), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— introduction has been revised;
— normative references have been removed;
— definition of conditioning has been revised;
— content has been added to Clause 5 and Clause 6;
— Annex A has been simplified.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

ISO 187:2022(E)
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 atmosphere for
testing of pulp, paper, and board. However, this atmosphere can be difficult to attain in some countries
located in tropical zones, and in such countries the 27 °C /65 % RH atmosphere is permitted.
