ISO 16195 Compression Testing of Paper and Board: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The compression testing of paper and board is a critical quality control measure that ensures the mechanical strength and durability of these materials. The ISO 16195 standard, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides the guidelines for conducting this test. This standard is widely recognized and adopted globally, with many countries incorporating it into their national standards.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has also published a similar standard, EN 2057, which is identical to ISO 16195. In addition to these international standards, various national standards have been developed to comply with the requirements of specific industries and regions. For example, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) publishes ASTM D6175, while the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) has published TS EN 2057.

Standard development organizations, such as ISO, CEN, and ASTM, play a crucial role in ensuring that standards are developed and updated to meet the evolving needs of industries. These organizations bring together experts from various fields to collaborate on standard development, ensuring that the resulting standards are technically sound and relevant to industry requirements.

The compression testing of paper and board is essential for several reasons:

  • Ensures mechanical strength and durability

  • Prevents damage to products during transportation and storage

  • Enhances product safety and reliability

  • Complies with regulatory requirements

  • Supports innovation and research development

    • Some key standard numbers and their scopes are listed below:

  • ISO 16195:2015 - Compression testing of paper and board (identical to EN 2057)

  • ASTM D6175 - Standard test method for compression resistance of paperboard

  • TS EN 2057 - Turkish Standard for compression testing of paper and board

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    The ISO 16195 standard requires that paper and board products undergo compression testing to determine their mechanical strength. This test is essential for ensuring product safety, durability, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

    Several industries rely on the compression testing of paper and board, including:

  • Packaging industry

  • Paper production industry
