1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of geosynthetic barriers, including polymeric geosynthetic barriers, clay geosynthetic barriers and bituminous geosynthetic barriers, when used as fluid barriers and separation layer forwater, in the construction of canals and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics. The intended use of these products is to control the leakage of the fluid through the construction. This document is not applicable to geotextiles or geotextile-related products, as defined in EN ISO 10318-1. This document provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the product to this European Standard including factory production control procedures. This document defines characteristics to be considered with regard to the presentation of performance. This document does not cover applications where the geosynthetic barrier is to be in contact with water that has been treated for human consumption. NOTE Where potable water is or can be in direct contact with the product, other relevant standards, requirements and/or regulations can be considered for the design.
4.3 Relevant characteristics
The characteristics, their relevance to the conditions of use, and the test methods to be used, are specified in Table 1. The list of characteristics in Table 1 includes those relevant to all conditions of use [A) (essential characteristics are listed in Table ZA.1), and those relevant to specific conditions of use (S]. The indication“-”means that the characteristic is not relevant for that function. Where, for the same property, data for more than one function shall be provided, the following ranking order shall be observed: A overrules S, and S overrules“-”. The functions and conditions of use, corresponding with the S-coded characteristics in Table 1, are specified in 4.4. The performances of the characteristics shall be given on basis of the results of tests specified in this document and, where relevant, in accordance with 5.1. Information on how functioning joints can be made should be provided. Where products are jointed in the factory the liquid tightness and if relevant the strength of the joints shall be tested and data presented.
4.4 Characteristics relevant to specific conditions of use
4.4.1 General
The necessary data based on the test requirements and test methods described in this document for the functions and conditions of use described as relevant (see Table 1) in the project specification shall be provided. The list of characteristics in Table 1 includes those relevant to all conditions of use (A), (essential characteristics are listed in Table ZA.1], and those relevant to specific conditions of use (S). These specific conditions of use (S) are listed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.10. If the product under consideration is a multicomponent barrier, the performance of the claimed GBR shall dictate the characteristics listed in Table 1.
