                            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 liquid absorptive capacity;—     the liquid wicking rate (capillarity).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.
