This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 86 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are several:

  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
  • DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
  • EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)

Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.

hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn't have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.
