ISO 18522:2016规定了使用自动离线测试仪测定纸和纸板物理性能横向轮廓的程序。对于给定的测量，参考相关的国际标准。它适用于大多数纸张和纸板，但不适用于薄纸和瓦楞纸板。 在ISO 18522:2016中，由纸和纸板生产商和客户就相关属性达成一致。结果以平均值或整个机器的轮廓报告。一些属性以索引形式报告。 如果未另行约定，则在出现质疑或争议时，将使用基于独立设备的相关ISO标准获得的结果。

ISO 18522:2016 specifies the procedures for determining the cross direction profiles of physical properties of paper and board using automated off-line testers. Where available for a given measurement, the relevant International Standard is referred to. It is applicable to most kinds of paper and board, but is not relevant for tissue and corrugated board. In ISO 18522:2016, it is left to the paper and board producer and the customer to agree upon which properties are relevant. The results are reported as mean values or as profiles across the machine. Some properties are reported in index form. The result obtained using the relevant ISO standard based on stand-alone equipment is used in case of challenge or dispute, if not otherwise agreed.
