What is ISO 811?

ISO 811:2018 provides a standardized methodology for evaluating the waterproofness of textile fabrics. It uses hydrostatic head tests to measure how much water pressure a fabric can withstand before leakage occurs. The result is used to determine the suitability of textiles for various environmental conditions.

This standard is particularly useful for industries that manufacture rainwear, tents, awnings, automotive interiors, and technical textiles. Our consulting ensures that testing protocols are aligned with ISO 811:2018 and the right certifications and documentation are maintained for customer assurance and market access.

Why is ISO 811 important?

With growing concerns around climate resistance, product durability, and consumer satisfaction, ensuring your fabric meets international waterproofing standards is no longer optional—it's a necessity. ISO 811:2018 is recognized across global supply chains, and compliance can help you meet B2B procurement criteria, retail requirements, and regulatory approvals.

Choosing ISO 811:2018 through Growth Management Corporation means:

  1. Reduced product failures in wet conditions
