ISO 13428:2024

This document describes an index test for the determination of the protection efficiency of a geosynthetic on a hard surface, exposed to the impact load of a hemispherical object.

The index test measures the change in thickness of a thin lead plate lying between the geosynthetic and a rigid support.

It is also used as a performance test, by using the real rigid surface to protect and the real sequence of geosynthetics.

The test is applicable to all geosynthetics with apertures smaller than 15 mm (maximum size).

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
