National foreword

This revision of BS 2823 has been prepared under the direction of the Fibres, Yarns and Fabrics Standards Committee, and is identical with ISO 811:1980 “Textile fabrics — Determination of resistance to water penetration — Hydrostatic pressure test” published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). BS 2823:1968 is therefore withdrawn.

In 1992 the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) accepted ISO 811:1981 as European Standard EN 20811:1992. As a consequence of implementing the European Standard this British Standard is renumbered as BS EN 20811 and any reference to BS 2823 should be read as a reference to BS EN 20811.

Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication, as a British Standard, without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following.

Where the words “International Standard” appear, they should be read as “British Standard”.

The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker.

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
