The intended use of these geotextiles and geotextile-related products is to fulfil one or more of the following
functions: reinforcement, stress relief and barrier. The use of geotextiles and geotextile-related products is to
be considered as a part of an interlayer and asphalt overlay system.
This standard is not applicable to geosynthetic barriers, as defined in EN ISO 10318.
This standard provides for evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard and for factory
production control procedures.
This standard defines requirements to be met by manufacturers and distributors with regard to the
presentation of product properties.
NOTE 1 Particular application cases or national specifications may contain additional requirements regarding product
application or installation and specifying preferably standardized test methods, if they are technically relevant and not
conflicting with European Standards.
