EN 13362:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard allows manufacturers to describe geosynthetic barriers on the basis of declared values for characteristics relevant to the intended use and if tested to the specified method. It also includes procedures for evaluation of conformity and factory production control. This European Standard may also be used by designers, end-users and other interested parties as a tool to define relevant and appropriate characteristics for specifications and on-site quality control. It should be emphasised however that not all characteristics and test methods quoted in this document are suitable for the purpose of on-site quality control.
Tests for several non-mandated characteristics are still under study and will be included when the standard is revised. The term “product” used in this document refers to a geosynthetic barrier, including polymeric geosynthetic barriers, clay geosynthetic barriers and bituminous geosynthetic barriers. This European Standard is part of a group of standards, addressing the requirements for geosynthetic barriers when used in a specific application.
Particular application cases may contain requirements about additional properties and - preferably standardised - test methods, if they are technically relevant and not conflicting with European Standards.
The design life of the product should be determined, since its function may be temporary, as a construction expediency, or permanent, for the lifetime of the structure.
SIST EN 13362:2013



EN 13362:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the relevant characteristics of geosynthetic barriers, including polymeric geosynthetic barriers, clay geosynthetic barriers and bituminous geosynthetic barriers, when used as fluid barriers for potable, fresh or saline water, 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 water through the construction.
This European Standard is not applicable to geotextiles or geotextile-related products. This European Standard provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. This European Standard defines requirements to be met by manufacturers and their authorised representatives with regard to the presentation of product properties.
This European Standard does not cover applications where the geosynthetic barrier is to be in contact with water that has been treated for human consumption. Where potable water is or may be in direct contact with the product the designer should also refer to other relevant standards, requirements and/or regulations. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Damage during installation has not been addressed in this document. 4.2 Types of application
4.2.1 General It is not normally advisable to install a geosynthetic barrier on the downstream face of a canal embankment. Special consideration should be given to any geosynthetic barrier installed on the downstream face of a canal. The applications described in this document do not include such situations. 4.2.2 Application 1: "covered in service" Applications where the product is laid in a canal and is covered in service with a revetment or other protective layers. Figure 1 shows a typical installation.
