Textiles - Test methods for nonwovens - Part 17: Determination of water penetration (spray impact) (ISO 9073-17:2008)
ISO 9073-17:2008 specifies a method for measuring the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by impact.
The water penetration (spray impact) test is applicable to fabrics that are expected to exhibit a degree of water resistance or water repellency.
The results obtained with this method depend on the water repellency of the fibres or the treatment applied to the finished material, as well as on the construction of the material.

Dieser Teil der ISO 9073 legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Beständigkeit von textilen Flächengebilden gegen das Durchdringen von Wasser fest.
Die Prüfung der Wasserdurchdringung (Sprühverfahren) gilt für textile Flächengebilde, bei denen ein bestimmter Grad der Wasserbeständigkeit oder ein Wasserabweisungsvermögen erwartet wird.
Die mit diesem Verfahren erhaltenen Ergebnisse werden vom Wasserabweisungsvermögen der Fasern oder der Behandlung des ausgerüsteten Materials sowie auch vom Aufbau des Materials bestimmt.

L'ISO 9073-17:2008 spécifie une méthode de mesurage de la résistance des étoffes à la pénétration de l'eau par impact.
L'essai de pénétration de l'eau (impact d'aérosol) s'applique aux étoffes qui sont censées présenter une certaine résistance à l'eau ou hydrophobie.
Les résultats obtenus avec la présente méthode dépendent de l'hydrophobicité des fibres ou du traitement appliqué sur le matériau fini, ainsi que de la contexture du matériau.

Overview
EN ISO 9073-17:2008 - Textiles: Test methods for nonwovens - Part 17: Determination of water penetration (spray impact) (ISO 9073-17:2008) specifies a standardized laboratory method for measuring a fabric’s resistance to water penetration by impact (spray). The test evaluates the degree of water resistance or repellency of nonwoven and similar fabrics by quantifying the amount of water passing through a material under defined spray-impact conditions. Results help predict rain‑penetration resistance and assess the effectiveness of water‑repellent treatments.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Principle: A pre‑weighed absorbent blotting paper is placed under the test specimen; a controlled volume of water is sprayed onto the specimen and the blotter is re‑weighed. The mass increase indicates water penetration.
- Specimen and blotter sizes: Typical specimen size is 175 mm × 325 mm (long dimension in machine direction); blotting paper 150 mm × 225 mm.
- Blotting paper requirements: Tight control over absorbency and physical properties (fast absorbent rate ≤ 5 s, minimum absorbent capacity ~480%, uniform formation, traceable lot, specified sheet density, basis weight and thickness).
- Test conditions and apparatus:
- Impact penetration (spray) tester with spray head, funnel, baffle and drip catcher.
- 500 ml distilled or deionized water at (27 ± 1) °C is used per test.
- Modified clamp mass of 454 g to tension specimen.
- Weigh blotting paper to ±0.01 g accuracy.
- Insert drip catcher and weigh the blotter 2 s after continuous flow stops.
- Results and reporting:
- Calculate the increase in blotter mass (g). Report individual values, average and standard deviation.
- Test report must reference ISO 9073-17 and note material type, number of specimens, testing conditions and any deviations.
- Reproducibility note: Annex A highlights that blotting paper quality critically affects interlaboratory reproducibility.
Applications and users
- Who uses it: textile and nonwoven manufacturers, quality control and test laboratories, R&D teams, third‑party certification bodies.
- Practical applications:
- Evaluation of water‑repellent finishes and coatings.
- Performance screening for rainwear, outdoor textiles, workwear, technical nonwovens and some protective garments.
- Comparative quality control of product lots and verification of treatment processes.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9073-17 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.
ISO 9073 consists of the following parts, under the general title Textiles — Test methods for nonwovens:
