Standard tests Sampling and conditioning The general requirements of ISO 186 and ISO 187 for sampling and conditioning of paper, respectively, will be suitable for tissue products with little modification. When testing products, those involved in the testing must agree in advance on how to define a lot. Because tissue products such as toilet tissue
