Nonwovens — Test methods — Part 11: Run-off
Scope:
This document specifies test methods to measure the amount of test liquid (simulated urine) which runs down a nonwoven test specimen when a specified mass of test liquid is poured on the nonwoven test specimen superimposed on a standard absorbent medium and placed on an inclined plane.
This document is designed to compare run-off of nonwovens. It is not intended to simulate in use conditions for finished products.
The three methods are:
a) Option A - basic method for testing hydrophilic nonwovens, see Annex A.
b) Option B - repeated test, with the same test parameters as the basic method with additional information in Option A, see Annex B.
c) Option C - modified method for testing hydrophobic nonwovens specifying another degree of incline, see Annex C.
The test method is designed to measure the repellency of hydrophobic nonwovens. At the standard inclination angle, Option A isn’t able to distinguish between different levels of hydrophobicity. By decreasing the inclination of the table, one can assess the difference in repellence of hydrophobic nonwovens.
For R&D purposes, other characteristics can be measured according to Annex D.

Textiles — Sampling methods for fibres, yarns and fabrics for testing
Scope:
This document specifies several methods for preparing laboratory samples of fibres, yarns and fabrics and presents a limited treatment of the problem of drawing specimens for testing.
The selection of length-biased samples is not within the scope of this document. It does not cover particular procedures for the determination of commercial weights or moisture content.

Nonwovens - Test methods - Part 11: Run-off (ISO 9073-11:2026)
Scope:
ISO 9073-11 describes test methods for measuring the quantity of test liquid (simulated urine) which runs down a nonwoven test piece when a specified mass of test liquid is poured on to the nonwoven test piece superimposed on a standard absorbent media and placed on an inclined plane.
This test method is designed to compare run-off of nonwovens. It is not intended to simulate in-use conditions of finished products.
Three alternative methods are described:
Test I -- the basic method for testing hydrophilic nonwovens;
Test III -- the repeated test, with the same test parameters as in I);
Test III -- the modified method for testing hydrophobic nonwovens specifying another table inclination than in I).

Textile fibres -- Some methods of sampling for testing
Scope:
Applicable for textile materials in all forms. No single technique of sampling can be devised that will serve in all circumstances. General terms and their definitions are given. A lot of different sampling methods are described (e.g. for bast fibres, cotton fibres, man-made staple fibres, and wool fibres). The determination of the number of individuals to be tested in dependence on the variability of the material and the accuracy required is given in the annex.

Textiles - Laundry processed textiles - Biocontamination control system
Scope:
This document describes a risk management approach, called Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control (RABC), designed to enable laundries to continuously ensure the microbiological quality of laundry processed textiles. The RABC approach applies to laundry market sectors where it is necessary to control biocontamination, e.g. pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, healthcare and cosmetics. The RABC approach excludes those aspects relating to worker safety and sterility of the final product.
