ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Table 1.
The device is lowered into the borehole with an encased impact device on the rope and the probe is
driven in from there without a rod.

5 Test procedure
5.1 General
The initial depths for the borehole dynamic probing in a borehole shall be specified.
The probing device defined in this standard may be used to explore the subsoil — depending on its
state and the boring device used — down to depths of ≈ 60 m.
Deviations from this standard and their effects on the result shall be substantiated and reported.
5.2 Test preparation
The borehole dynamic probing is performed from the borehole base. ISO 22475-1 applies to the boring
procedure. The borehole diameter shall not be more than 250 mm. If casing is used, this shall not extend
below the borehole base. The test area shall be undisturbed.
The borehole base shall be cleaned to the lower edge of the casing in order to prevent the effects of
boring sludge or caving in. When cleaning the borehole base negative pressure effects must be avoided
by slow withdrawal of the drilling equipment.
