This document specifies methods for the evaluation of some aspects of the behaviour of nonwoven fabrics in the presence of liquids. In particular:

     the liquid absorbency time;

The different aspects of absorbency can relate to various end uses of the tested products.

The tests do not apply to any fabric containing super absorbent materials.
