INDA and EDANA are the world's leading nonwoven associations. These organizations develop standards for the nonwovens and related industries. These standards help define the nonwovens industry technically, with specifiers for the properties, composition and specifications of products. These standards, which create a common language for the industry throughout the USA and Europe and are recognized by many markets, enable the nonwovens industry to consistently define, manufacture and test product properties both worldwide and within the supply chain.

The nonwovens standard procedures developed by INDA and EDANA include over one hundred test procedures and guidance documents to support harmonized methods, nonwovens and applications in related industries.
Nonwovens standard procedures are designed to provide a standard set of testing methods for various desired properties in nonwovens and engineered fabrics.
INDA (Nonwoven Fabric Manufacturers Association) is an organization serving hundreds of member companies in the nonwoven / engineered fabric industry worldwide.
EDANA (European Disposable and Nonwovens Association) is an organization that supports the sustainable development of the industry and advocates the benefits of nonwoven fabrics for society. Nonwoven fabrics are engineered, versatile and ever-evolving materials that improve the daily life experience of many, and are used in a variety of products, from hygiene to geotextiles, filtration, agriculture, automotive, medical, clothing and electronics.
To make the INDA and EDANA standards more consistent, each is now available in a format based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) template.
INDA and EDANA, the world's leading nonwovens associations, have jointly published the latest 2021 standard procedures for nonwovens and related industries.
Nonwoven fabrics are innovative, high-tech, engineered fabrics made from fibers. They are used alone or in combination with other materials in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. Non-woven fabrics are designed for their specific applications ranging from thin, lightweight non-woven fabrics to strong and durable non-wovens, whether for consumer or industrial applications.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides necessary testing and analysis services within the scope of INDA and EDANA standards with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
