Geosynthetics are synthetic polymeric products used to stabilize terrain and solve civil engineering problems. Geosynthetics are preferred due to their durability and longevity.
ISO 10320 specifies the information accompanying geosynthetics to enable the user on-site to identify the goods as being identical to the goods ordered. The positive identification, e.g., of unwrapped or rolled-out geosynthetics, is an important aim of ISO 10320.
Note: The information specified in ISO 10320 does not replace a technical data sheet and cannot be used to verify the conformance of the product with the technical requirements.
ISO 10320 on ‘geosynthetics on site identification’ is useful for:
Geosynthetics are used for filtration, drainage, separation, reinforcement, provision of a fluid barrier, and environmental protection. Some geosynthetics are used to separate distinct materials, such as different types of soil, so that both can remain completely intact.
ISO 10320 states the identification process from the perspective of:
ISO 10320 guidelines help you to use and install geosynthetics efficiently so that your customers are able to identify and use suitable products.
