Overview

EN 13362:2018 is the European Standard that specifies the required characteristics of geosynthetic barriers used as fluid barriers and separation layers in the construction of canals. It covers polymeric geosynthetic barriers, geosynthetic clay barriers (GCB/GCL) and bituminous geosynthetic barriers, and the appropriate test methods to verify those characteristics. The primary purpose is to control leakage through canal structures. This standard also sets out procedures for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) and factory production control (FPC).
Note: EN 13362:2018 does not apply to geotextiles (see EN ISO 10318-1) and does not cover applications where the barrier is in contact with potable (treated) water.

Key Topics

  • Scope and product types: polymeric, clay-based and bituminous geosynthetic barriers for canals.
  • Performance characteristics: permeability/water flux, tensile strength, puncture/burst resistance, thickness and mass per unit area, elongation, and release of dangerous substances.
  • Durability: requirements and test considerations for weathering, ageing, wetting–drying and freeze–thaw cycles (detailed in Annex A).
  • Test methods: references to standardized tests for permeability (e.g., EN 14150), burst strength (EN 14151), water flux index (EN 16416 for clay barriers), tensile tests (EN ISO 10319 / EN ISO 527 series), and other laboratory screening methods for chemical, root and oxidation resistance.
  • Conformity & quality control: AVCP procedures, factory production control and presentation of declared performance values.
  • Limitations: excludes geotextiles and potable water contact; designers should consider other regulations where potable water contact is possible.

Applications

EN 13362:2018 is used to specify and verify geosynthetic barriers in:

  • Canal liners and embankment separation layers to minimize leakage and control seepage.
  • Water conveyance and irrigation infrastructure where long-term containment performance is required (excluding direct contact with potable water unless further standards are applied).
  • Design, procurement and quality assurance documentation for civil engineering and hydraulic projects.

Who should use this standard

  • Design engineers and geotechnical consultants specifying canal lining systems.
  • Manufacturers of polymeric, clay and bituminous geosynthetic barriers (for product declarations and FPC).
  • Contractors and installers for compliance checks and on-site acceptance.
  • Regulators and clients assessing conformity to European performance requirements.

Related Standards

EN 13362 cross-references many normative standards for test methods and terminology, including (but not limited to): EN 14150, EN 14151, EN 14414/14415, EN 16416, EN ISO 10318-1, EN ISO 10319 and EN ISO 527 series. See Annex ZA for the relationship with Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (CPR).
