Overview
SIST EN ISO 6599-1:2026 - Packaging: Conditioning for Testing - Part 1: Paper Sacks establishes internationally recognized methods for preparing intact, empty paper sacks prior to and during testing. This standard outlines the specific conditioning atmospheres, temperature, and relative humidity values that must be maintained to ensure consistent and reliable test results. Conditioning ensures that paper sacks are equilibrated with the testing environment, which is essential since the physical properties of paper are highly influenced by moisture content. Adopting ISO 6599-1:2026 is crucial for laboratories, manufacturers, and organizations aiming to certify the performance and quality of paper-based packaging in compliance with global benchmarks.
Key Topics
- Conditioning Atmospheres
Establishes standard atmospheres (e.g., 23°C/50% RH) as defined in ISO 187 and ISO 554, to which paper sacks must be conditioned. - Temperature and Humidity Control
Specifies precise temperature and relative humidity ranges to maintain, ensuring accuracy and repeatability in testing. - Conditioning Periods
- For sacks without barrier plies: Minimum of 24 hours in the controlled atmosphere.
- For sacks with barrier plies: Minimum of 7 days to achieve equilibrium.
- Equipment Requirements
Recommends the use of automated conditioning rooms equipped with recording devices for temperature and humidity. - Sample Handling
Details on suspending sacks to allow even exposure to conditioning air across all surfaces. - Test Report Specifications
Ensures clear documentation of the conditions and any deviations, supporting transparency and traceability. - Terminology
Uses standardized definitions, referring to ISO 6590-1 for packaging vocabulary and ISO 187 for conditioning test methods.
Applications
Adopting SIST EN ISO 6599-1:2026 delivers practical value across the packaging and paper sack industries:
- Quality Control in Manufacturing
- Ensures consistent product performance by harmonizing the test conditions for paper sacks globally.
- Supports manufacturers in meeting regulatory requirements and customer specifications.
- Testing Laboratories
- Provides a reproducible framework for preparing samples, leading to accurate mechanical and physical testing of paper sacks.
- Facilitates interlaboratory comparisons and certification processes.
- Research and Development
- Enables comparison of new paper sack constructions and barrier materials under standardized conditions.
- Procurement and Compliance
- Helps purchasing organizations verify compliance with international packaging standards when sourcing paper sacks.
- Regulatory Bodies
- Serves as a reference for national regulations on packaging performance, especially when environmental factors affect test results.
Related Standards
- ISO 187: Standard atmosphere for conditioning and testing of paper, board, and pulps - provides the fundamental principles for conditioning and testing environments.
- ISO 554: Specifications for standard atmospheres used for conditioning and/or testing.
- ISO 6590-1: Packaging vocabulary specific to paper sacks, establishing standardized terms and definitions for the industry.
By aligning with SIST EN ISO 6599-1:2026, organizations support international best practices for packaging testing, ensuring their products meet the demanding standards of today’s global marketplace, where consistency, reliability, and performance matter most.

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.
