BIS CERTIFICATION FOR GEOTEXTILES USED IN SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE APPLICATION IS 16393

Published Date: February 28, 2025
2 min Read

BIS certification is essential for geotextiles used in subsurface drainage applications, as outlined in IS 16393:2015. This standard ensures that the geotextiles meet the required specifications for quality, strength, and durability to perform effectively in drainage systems. Geotextiles certified under this standard undergo rigorous testing for key properties such as tensile strength, permeability, and long-term durability, ensuring they can withstand mechanical and environmental stresses while providing efficient water drainage. Compliance with IS 16393:2015 assures the use of high-quality geotextiles that support the structural integrity and longevity of drainage systems.

IS 16393:2015 – Geotextiles Used in Subsurface Drainage Applications

This standard specifies the technical requirements and testing methods for geotextiles used in subsurface drainage systems. It covers performance characteristics like tensile strength, elongation, and permeability, which are crucial for geotextiles that function as filters and separators in drainage applications. The standard mandates that geotextiles exhibit high resistance to mechanical stresses such as tearing and abrasion while ensuring effective water flow and filtration. By meeting the requirements of IS 16393:2015, geotextiles help enhance drainage efficiency and prevent clogging or deterioration in subsurface drainage systems.

Key Highlight

Product Name Geotextiles Used In Subsurface Drainage Application
Applicable Indian Standard IS 16393 : 2015
Applicable Certification Scheme Product Certification Scheme (ISI Mark Scheme) Scheme 1 - Schedule 2
Compliance Requirement Mandatory
Quality Control Order View QCO
Scope as per Standard This standard specifies the requirements for two classes of geotextiles used in drainage applications, including subgrade dewatering, road base drainage, and structural drainage. The geotextiles are designed to be placed against the soil, facilitating the long-term passage of water into a subsurface drainage system while retaining the in-situ soil.
