Programme of Work




TXD30 : Geosynthetics


  • Scope : a) To formulate Indian standards on terminology, testing, specifications and codes of practices for identification, handling, storage and installation, etc. of all products made from man-made & natural materials including geo-textiles, geo-membranes, geo-grids, geo-foams, geo- composites, geo-cells, clay liners and other geo-synthetic related products. b) To liaise with the work of ISO/TC 221 Geo-synthetics Technical Committee as a participating member.
  • Liaison :
    ISO/TC 221 - Geosynthetics - Participating (P)
    ISO/TC 221/WG 6 - Design using geosynthetics
