TS EN ISO 12625-1

TS EN ISO 12625-1 is the Turkish adoption of a standard that provides general guidance on the terms used for tissue paper and tissue products. Its focus is terminological rather than performance-based: it helps users interpret names, definitions, and related vocabulary consistently across the tissue sector, so manufacturers, laboratories, suppliers, and users speak the same technical language.

Why terminology matters in tissue products

In general technical context, tissue paper is not a single uniform item but a family of lightweight paper products used for wiping, hygiene, cleaning, and similar purposes. The terms used for these products can vary between markets and applications, and a common vocabulary reduces ambiguity. Clear terminology is especially important when product names overlap with everyday language, because the same word may be used differently in trade, specifications, and testing documentation.

What this part supports

As part of the ISO 12625 series, this document supports the reading and use of the family’s technical language. It is a vocabulary-oriented reference rather than a requirement document for product properties or acceptance limits. In practice, that kind of guidance helps align product descriptions, category names, and technical discussions without itself defining how a tissue product must perform.

• Provides a common framework for understanding tissue-related terms.
• Helps distinguish between product names, category names, and general usage.
• Supports consistent interpretation across the wider ISO 12625 series.
• Focuses on conceptual clarity rather than test limits or compliance criteria.
