Full title and description

ISO 9073-2:1995/Cor 1:1998 — Textiles — Test methods for nonwovens — Part 2: Determination of thickness — Technical Corrigendum 1. This corrigendum publishes corrections and technical clarifications that apply to ISO 9073-2:1995 (the second edition) and is intended to amend the original text where minor technical or editorial errors were identified.

Abstract

This document is a one-page technical corrigendum (Corrigendum 1, published December 1998) to ISO 9073-2:1995. It corrects specific technical/editorial items in the original standard so that the procedures for determining the thickness of nonwoven fabrics under specified pressure are accurate and unambiguous. The corrigendum does not replace the main standard; it amends it.

General information

• Status: Published (technical corrigendum to an international standard).
• Publication date: 10 December 1998 (Corrigendum published December 1998).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 59.080.30 (Textile fabrics / nonwovens).
• Edition / version: Edition 2 of ISO 9073-2 (1995) with Technical Corrigendum 1 (1998).
• Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum document).

Scope

This corrigendum applies specifically to ISO 9073-2:1995 and provides corrections and clarifications to the published test method for determining the thickness of normal and bulky nonwoven textiles under a specified pressure. It is limited in extent (a short technical rectification) and does not introduce new measurement methods; rather, it refines and corrects parts of the existing procedure so that test laboratories and users can apply the thickness determination method consistently with the intent of the original standard.

Key topics and requirements

• Identification and correction of editorial or technical errors in ISO 9073-2:1995 (text, figures, units or formulae where applicable).
• Clarification of the test condition requirements (conditioning, specified pressure under which thickness is measured, and specimen preparation) to ensure repeatability.
• Reinforcement of reporting requirements so measured thickness and test conditions are clearly recorded.
• Confirmation that the corrigendum amends—but does not replace—the substantive measurement method in the 1995 edition.

Typical use and users

Used by textile testing laboratories, quality control and R&D departments of nonwoven manufacturers, standards bodies, and certification bodies. It is a technical amendment that testing personnel consult together with ISO 9073-2:1995 when performing thickness measurements on nonwoven fabrics to ensure that any previously identified inconsistencies have been addressed.

Related standards

ISO 9073 is a multi-part series of test methods for nonwovens. Relevant related parts include ISO 9073-1 (determination of mass per unit area), ISO 9073-3 (tensile strength and elongation, strip method), and ISO 9073-4 (tear resistance), among others — these parts are maintained by ISO/TC 38 (Textiles). Users should consult the current editions of the other parts for complementary test methods.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO 9073-2:1995 — a published one-page correction document (December 1998) that amends the 1995 edition of ISO 9073-2, which defines the test method for determining the thickness of nonwovens under a specified pressure.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The corrigendum covers specific technical or editorial corrections to the original ISO 9073-2:1995 text so that the thickness measurement procedure (sample preparation, pressure specification, measurement and reporting) is clear and unambiguous. It does not introduce a new test method.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Test laboratories, manufacturers of nonwoven textiles, R&D and quality assurance teams, and national standards bodies that adopt or reference ISO test methods for nonwovens.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum is a published amendment (December 1998) to ISO 9073-2:1995; it remains the official corrigendum to that edition. Users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any later revisions to ISO 9073-2 itself, but the corrigendum stands as the formal correction to the 1995 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 9073 is a series of test methods for nonwovens (multiple parts covering mass per unit area, thickness, tensile, tear, absorption, burst/ball‑burst, etc.). This document is the corrigendum specific to Part 2 (thickness).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: nonwovens, thickness, test methods, ISO 9073-2, corrigendum, measurement, conditioning, specified pressure, ISO/TC 38.
