ISO 811
ISO 811:2018 is an internationally recognized standard for determining the resistance of textile fabrics to water penetration under hydrostatic pressure. It is critical for industries producing water-resistant or waterproof fabrics, such as outdoor clothing, military gear, tents, medical textiles, and automotive interiors. This standard ensures that the fabric quality aligns with global expectations for performance and durability in wet conditions.

What is ISO 811?
ISO 811:2018 outlines a laboratory testing method used to measure the waterproof capabilities of fabrics. The test involves applying water pressure to a fabric sample until penetration occurs. The result is a reliable measure of the fabric's water resistance, helping manufacturers validate their products' claims and meet quality assurance benchmarks.
Why is ISO 811 important?
With increasing demand for high-performance waterproof textiles in both consumer and industrial markets, compliance with ISO 811:2018 demonstrates your commitment to product quality, durability, and international standards. For exporters, it serves as a critical tool for gaining access to global markets where product testing is mandatory.
