This European prestandard describes a procedure for damaging geosynthetics in the laboratory to simulate site damage during installation when a geosynthetic is laid between two layers of compacted granular material. The damage is assessed visually and by the loss in tensile strength. Other reference test may be used to assess the damage caused by this test. The test method described is an index test procedure. This prestandard is part 1 of a series of 2 prestandards.
