BS EN 17323:2020

This standard BS EN 17323:2020 Geosynthetics. Determination of tensile properties of Polymeric Geosynthetic Barriers is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.70 Geotextiles

This document specifies test methods for the determination of tensile properties of polymeric geosynthetic barriers PE (e.g. PE-HD and PE-LLD), FPO (e.g. EVA, FPP, and PE-VLD), PVC-P and EPDM.

Method A is suitable for testing polymeric geosynthetic barriers (GBR-P), made of PVC-P, EPDM and FPO (e.g. EVA, FPP and PE-VLD), non-reinforced (including maximum 80 g/m² glass fleece) and without backing.

Method B is suitable for testing polymeric geosynthetic barriers (GBR-P) made of PE (e.g. PE-HD and PE-LLD), non-reinforced and without backing.

Method C is suitable for testing polymeric geosynthetic barriers (GBR-P), reinforced and/or with backing.

Method D is suitable for measuring modulus (if required) of all non-reinforced GBR-P.

NOTE For homogenous polymers not listed above, method A and D can be used.
