Les définitions officielles des produits non-tissés sont complexes pour les utilisateurs de géotextiles. Le groupe de travail «Terminologie» du CFG [Comité français des Géotextiles] a proposé pratiquement de définir par géotextiles non-tissés ceux «obtenus par liage mécanique et/ou chimique et/ou thermique de fibres textiles ou fibrilles, disposées en nappe(s), en excluant le tissage, le tricotage ou leurs combinaisons». 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9otextile%20non%20tiss%C3%A9
