It also includes procedures for the evaluation of conformity and factory production control This standard may also be used by designers, end-users and other interested pat functions and conditions of use are relevant. to define which Performance tests for several characteristics are still under study and will be included when the standard is revised. ‘The term "product" used in this standard refers to a geotextile or geotentile-related product. ‘This European standard is part of a series of standards, addressing the requirements for geotextiles and geotextile-related products when used in a specific application. In Annex C guidance is given on how to select the appropriate standard 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the relevant characteristics of geotextles and geotextile-related products used in the construction reservoirs and dams, and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics, The intended use of these geotextiles or geolextile-related products is to fulfil one or more of the following functions: filtration, separation, reinforcement and protection. The separation function is always used in conjunction with fitation or reinforcement, accordingly separation will never be specified alone, This standard is not applicable to geomembranes. This standard provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard and for factory production control procedures. This standard defines requirements to be met by manutacturers and distributors with regard to the presentation of product properties,Page 3 EN 13254:2000 NOTE 1 Particular application cases or national specifications may contain requirements. regarding additional properties and — preferably standardised — test methods, if they are technically relevant and not conflicting with European Standards. NOTE 2 This European Standard may be used to derive design values by taking into account factors within the context of the definitions given in Eurocade 7 (ENV 1997-1), e.g. factors of safely. 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, 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications.

Sometimes, however, an application can be considered as a part of an other application. In such cases it is not clear which standard to use. Table C.1 shows how to select the appropriate standard depending on the application. The following steps should be used in this selection process. 1. Select the application from column 1 (vertical) of the Table; 2. Check if the relevant application ts mentioned in row 1 (horizontal) in columns 3 10 6 — if not, use the standard quoted in column 2: ~ ifyes, use the standard quoted at the intersection of the first applicable row and first applicable ‘column EXAMPLES: a drainage trench in a road: row 2 and column 3 apply and EN 13252 should be used: =a retaining structure in a rallway: row 3 and column 6 apply and EN 13251 should be used, since in this case H > He: = an external erosion control system in a canal: row § and column 4 apply and EN 13253 should be used; ~ a drainage for a road in a tunnel: row 2 and column 3 apply and EN 13252 should be used, ot EN 13256 (at the intersection of row 2 and column 5): ~ a protection layer for a road tunnel: row 2 and column § apply and EN 13256 should be used; ~ a drainage system in a retaining wall: row 9 and column 3 apply and EN 19252 should be used.Page 17 EN 19254:2000 Table C.1 — Selection of the appropriate standard [i 2 3 4 5 6 Earthworks, Erosion | Tunnels and foundations 1 Applicaton siandaa | Orinase | Cont | uraearouna | {Suet systems | structures) uérelain 7 TH He: EN 13251 if 25°C, or use in artificially Contaminated soils, or combination of diferent polymers, o° use with recycted or regenerated ‘materials, or exposed to acid or alkaline environments ? icrobiologicat {EN 12225) Chemical degradation (ENV ISO 12960-method A ) Chemical degradation (ENV ISO 12960 - method 8) Specific durabiity assessment (e.g. hydrolysis, oxidation) v "Predicted to be durable for a “Predicted to be durable for a “ Predicted to be durable for ‘minimum of five years for non: ‘minimum of 25 years for non- ‘more than (duration) years. in ‘einforcing applications in reinforcing applications in (conditions) on the basis of a natural soils with natural sols. with durability assessment 4< pH < 9 and soll 4< pH <9 and soil (reference to document)" | temperatures < 25°C" temperatures < 25°C" LPage 20 EN 13254:2000 Annex ZA (informative) Clauses of this European Standard addressing the provisions of the EU Construction Products Directive ZA.1 Scope and relevant requirement clauses This European Standard and this annex have been prepared under Mandate M/107 "geotextiles" given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, ‘The clauses of this European Standard, shown in the table(s) corresponding to the intended use of the Product, meet the requirements of the Mandate, given under the EU Construction Products Directive (B9/106/EEC).
