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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles, in collaboration with the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 248, Textiles and textile
products, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9073-18:2007), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the title has been changed from "Determination of breaking strength and elongation of nonwoven
material using the grab tensile test" to "Determination of tensile strength and elongation at break
suing the grab tensile test";
— the Scope has been clarified and made precise;
— new terms have been added to the list of terms in Clause 3;
— new following new Clauses have been added and subsequent clauses have been renumbered:
— Clause 7, Sampling;
— Clause 8, Conditioning;
— Clause 9, Preparation of specimens;
— Clause 10, Preparation, calibration and verification of apparatus;
— Clause 13, Expression of results;
iv
— Clause 14, Precision and bias.

Determination of tensile strength and elongation at break
using the grab tensile test
SAFETY WARNING — This document does not claim to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use. It is expected that the person performing this test has been fully trained in all
aspects of this procedure.
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the breaking force of nonwovens using
a grab method in conditioned or wet state.
This test method is not applicable to materials which have a high percentage of stretch. Comparing test
results from tensile testing machines operating on different principles is not applicable.
This document specifies methods using constant rate of specimen extension (CRE) tensile testers.
Constant-rate-of-loading (CRL) instruments is covered, for information, in ISO 2062:2009, Annex A, in
recognition of the fact that these instruments are still in use and can be used by agreement.
