ISO 12236:2006 specifies a method for the determination of the puncture resistance by measuring the force required to push a flat-ended plunger through geosynthetics. The test is normally carried out on dry specimens conditioned in the specified atmosphere. The test is applicable to most types of products, but not to materials with apertures greater than 10 mm.

ISO 10833:2017 specifies a method to determine the susceptibility of textile floor coverings to mechanical damage at cut edges. It is applicable to all textile floor coverings both as sheet materials and as tiles.

ISO 9073-5:2008 specifies a method for determining the resistance to mechanical penetration of nonwoven fabrics by a ball of a given diameter. The method is primarily designed to be used on nonwovens with some degree of elasticity, for which a regular burst test is not applicable.

This part of ISO 9073 describes 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). It should be noted that these different aspects of absorbency may relate to various end uses of the tested products. The tests are not applicable to any fabric containing super absorbent materials.
