BIS CERTIFICATION FOR GEOTEXTILES USED IN SUB-GRADE SEPARATION IN PAVEMENT STRUCTURES IS 16391

Published Date: February 28, 2025
2 min Read

BIS Certification is mandatory for Geotextiles used in sub-grade separation in pavement structures as per IS 16391:2015. This standard ensures that geotextiles meet the required quality, strength, and durability for effective use in pavement construction, especially in soil stabilization and drainage applications. Certification guarantees that the geotextiles undergo stringent testing for properties such as tensile strength, permeability, and long-term durability, ensuring they perform well under varying environmental and mechanical stresses. Compliance with IS 16391:2015 highlights a manufacturer's commitment to producing high-quality geotextiles that contribute to the stability and longevity of pavement structures.

IS 16391:2015 – Geotextiles Used In Sub-grade Separation In Pavement Structures

This standard specifies the technical requirements and testing procedures for geotextiles used in sub-grade separation within pavement structures. It defines important performance parameters such as tensile strength, elongation, permeability, and durability. The geotextiles covered under this standard are required to have high resistance to mechanical stresses, including tearing, and to function effectively in providing drainage and separation between sub-grade materials. The standard ensures that the geotextiles used in pavement structures contribute to improving the structural integrity, load distribution, and overall performance of the pavement.
