PAPER AND BOARD - DETERMINATION OF GRAMMAGE (ISO 536 : 1995, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Technical Committee on Pulp, Paper and
Board under the authority of the Chemical and Materials Industry Standards Committee.
This Malaysian Standard is identical with ISO 536 : 1995, Paper and board – Determination of
grammage, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The text of
the International Standard is recommended for publication as a Malaysian Standard without
deviation. However, for the purpose of this Malaysian Standard, the following apply:
a) in the source text, “this International Standard” should read “this Malaysian Standard”;
and
b) the comma which is used as a decimal sign (if any), to read as a full point.
References to International Standards should be replaced by equivalent Malaysian Standards
as follows:
Referenced International Standards Corresponding Malaysian Standards
ISO 186, Paper and board – Sampling to
determine average quality.
ISO 187, Paper, board and pulps –
Standard atmosphere for conditioning and
testing and procedure for monitoring the
atmosphere and conditioning of samples.
ISO 287 : 1985, Paper and board –
Determination of moisture content –
Oven-lying method.
MS* ___, Method of sampling to determine
average quality of paper and board (under
preparation).
MS* ___, Method of conditioning of
samples – Paper and Board (First
Revision) (under preparation).
MS ISO 287 : 1999, Paper and board :
Determination of moisture content – Ovenlying
method.
This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces MS 135 : 1992, ‘Method of test for paper and
board : Determination of grammage (First Revision)’.
Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal
obligations.
NOTE: IDT on the front cover indicates an identical standard i.e. a standard where the technical content, structure,
wording and presentation of a Malaysian Standard is exactly the same as in an International Standard or is identical
in technical content and it may contain the minimal editorial changes specified in clause 4.2 of ISO/IEC Guide 21.
