TheISO 217:2013 standard defines the RA and SRA paper formats.

These paper series are untrimmed raw paper. RA stands for "raw format A" and SRA stands for "supplementary raw format A". The RA and SRA formats are slightly larger than the corresponding A series formats. This allows bleed (ink to the edge) on printed material that will be later cut down to size. These paper sheets will after printing and binding be cut to match the A format.

• The ISO A0 format has an area of 1.00 m²
• The ISO RA0 format has an area of 1.05 m²
• The ISO SRA0 format has an area of 1.15 m²

Paper in the RA and SRA series format is intended to have a${\displaystyle 1:\sqrt{2}}$ aspect ratio but the dimensions of the start format have been rounded to whole centimetres.

For example, the RA0 format has been rounded to 860 mm × 1220 mm from the theoretical dimensions${\displaystyle \sqrt{1.05}\cdot 2^{-\frac{1}{4}}\mathrm{m}\times \sqrt{1.05}\cdot 2^{\frac{1}{4}}\mathrm{m}\approx 861.7\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}\times 1218.6\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}}$.

The resulting real ratios are:

• ${\displaystyle 43:61\approx 1:1.4186}$ for RA0, RA2, RA4;
• ${\displaystyle 61:86\approx 1:1.4098}$ for RA1, RA3;
• ${\displaystyle 45:64\approx 1:1.4222}$ for SRA0, SRA2, SRA4;
• ${\displaystyle 32:45=1:1.40625}$ for SRA1, SRA3.

The sizes of the RA series are also slightly larger than corresponding inch-based US sizes specified inANSI/ASME Y14.1, e.g. RA4 is roughly equivalent to8+1⁄2 in × 12 in (220 mm × 300 mm) and ANSI A (aliasUS Letter) is defined as8+1⁄2 in × 11 in (220 mm × 280 mm).
