The aim of the present standard is to determine the time necessary to disintegrate a test piece of toilet
paper, in specified conditions.
This test method is applicable to every type of toilet paper, with exception to papers used in toilets with
a specific way of paper removal [for example watertight chemical toilets in some means of transport:
see NF F 31-829 (French standard)].
Removal problems encountered in this latter case may then justify a greater degree of resistance of
the product and thus a very long disintegration time, or even no disintegration at all.
