National foreword

This Part of BS 7304 has been prepared under the direction of the Textiles and Clothing Standards Policy Committee. It is identical with ISO 9073‑1:1989 “Textiles — Test methods for nonwovens — Part 1: Determination of mass per unit area”. The International Standard was prepared by Technical Committee 38, Textiles, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the active participation of the UK.

In 1992 the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) accepted ISO 9073‑1:1989 as European Standard EN 29073‑1:1992. As a consequence of implementing the European Standard this British Standard is renumbered as BS EN 29073‑1 and any reference to BS 7304‑1 should be read as a reference to BS EN 29073‑1.
