This European Standard specifies the relevant characteristics of geotextiles and geotextile-related products used in liquid waste containment projects, and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics.
The intended use of these geotextiles or geotextile-related products is to fulfil one or more of the following functions: filtration, reinforcement and protection.
This European Standard is not applicable to geosynthetic barriers, as defined in EN ISO 10318-1.
This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of the product to this European Standard and for factory production control procedures.
Particular application cases may contain requirements regarding additional properties and – preferably standardized – test methods, if they are technically relevant.
This European Standard may be used to derive design values by taking into account factors within the context of the definitions given in EN 1997-1 (Eurocode 7), e.g. factors of safety. 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.

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 10318-1 and the following apply.
3.1.1 product
geotextile or geotextile-related product
3.1.2 specification
document in which the work, functions and specific conditions of use of the product are described
4 Required characteristics and corresponding methods of test
4.1 General
The main functions of geotextiles and geotextile-related products used in liquid waste containment projects are filtration, reinforcement and protection. If a drainage or erosion control system is
integrated in the construction, the requirements of the appropriate standards shall also be fulfilled.
The specification shall define which functions and conditions of use are relevant (see Table 1). The producer shall provide the necessary data based on the requirements and test methods specified in this European Standard, as described in 5.1.
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), 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 4.3.
Durability shall be assessed in accordance with the requirements of Annex B.
4.2 Selection of the appropriate standard in a specific application
Guidelines for the selection of the appropriate standard in a specific application are given in Annex C.BS EN 13265 pdf download.
