6 Test conditions and procedures
  6.1 General
  6.2 General conditions
  6.3 Method 1: Determination of amount of water absorbed
      after immersion in water at 23 degrees C
  6.4 Method 2: Determination of amount of water absorbed
      after immersion in boiling water
  6.5 Method 3: Determination of water-soluble matter lost
      during immersion

        test specimens and Fick's diffusion laws
Annex B (informative) - Precision statement
Bibliography

ISO 62:2008 describes a procedure for determining the moisture absorption properties in the “through-the-thickness” direction of flat or curved-form solid plastics.
