Overview

oSIST prEN ISO 9092:2025 - Nonwovens Vocabulary (ISO 9092:2026) establishes a clear and internationally recognized terminology for nonwovens. Developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in cooperation with ISO, this standard serves as the authoritative reference for defining the term “nonwovens” and auxiliary terminology that differentiates nonwovens from other textile materials, such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, films, and paper products. The standard provides precision for manufacturers, buyers, and researchers involved in the rapidly expanding nonwovens industry.

Key Topics

• Definition of Nonwovens: EN ISO 9092 provides a precise definition, identifying nonwovens as engineered fibrous assemblies, mainly planar, given structural integrity by physical and/or chemical means-explicitly excluding weaving, knitting, or papermaking processes.
• Engineered Materials: Clarifies that nonwovens result from the application of science and technology to design products meeting specific utility requirements.
• Auxiliary Terms: Offers terminology to distinguish nonwovens from materials such as paper, films, wadding, stitchbond, and composites.
• Manufacturing Processes: Addresses bonding technologies (e.g., entanglement, adhesive methods) that impart structural integrity to nonwovens.
• Distinction from Papermaking: Differentiates nonwovens produced by web forming and bonding from traditional paper, where hydrogen bonding is predominant.
• Nonwoven Composites: Covering hybrid materials and multi-component structures combining nonwovens with other discrete materials.

Applications

The standardized vocabulary in oSIST prEN ISO 9092:2025 is essential for a range of industries operating with nonwoven materials, providing practical benefits in:

• Specification and Procurement: Ensures that contracts, material specifications, and tenders are based on unambiguous terminology, reducing errors and misunderstandings.
• Manufacturing: Supports quality assurance and process control by defining clear boundaries between nonwovens and other textile or fibrous materials.
• Product Development: Facilitates innovation by providing a common language for research and development teams to describe new materials and composite structures.
• International Trade: Enhances cross-border transactions and regulatory compliance by aligning terminology across global markets.
• Education and Training: Valuable for academics, technical trainers, and students for developing curricula and training materials aligned with international standards.
• Market Analysis and Reporting: Enables clear communication in industry reports, market research, and statistical analyses related to nonwoven products.

Related Standards

oSIST prEN ISO 9092:2025 is closely aligned with other important standards in the textile and nonwovens sector, including:

• ISO 4046-3: Paper, board, pulps, and related terms - Vocabulary - Part 3: Paper-making terminology (for distinguishing nonwovens from paper)
• NWSP 001.0.R1 (24): Standard Terminology Relating to the Nonwoven Industry
• ICS 01.040.59: Textile and leather technology (Vocabularies)
• ICS 59.080.30: Textile fabrics

These standards collectively provide a robust framework for terminology in the textile and nonwovens industry.

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.
