ISO 18695:2007适用于任何可能或可能未进行防水或拒水整理的纺织面料。它测量了织物对低冲击水渗透的阻力，因此可用于预测服装织物可能的雨水渗透阻力。该试验最适用于邦德斯曼雨水淋浴试验（ISO 9865）或雨水试验（ISO 22958）过于严格的中等至松散结构的织物。张力下不平躺的织物不适用。

ISO 18695:2007 is applicable to any textile fabric, which may or may not have been given a water-resistant or water-repellent finish. It measures the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by low impact, and thus can be used to predict the probable rain penetration resistance of apparel fabrics. The test is best suited for fabrics of medium to loose construction where the Bundesmann rain-shower test (ISO 9865), or Rain Test (ISO 22958) is too severe. Fabrics that do not lie flat under tension are not applicable.
