- What is ISO 15176- Characterization of excavated soil about? ISO 15176 discusses excavated soil and other materials intended for re-use. ISO 15176 provides guidance on the range of tests that could be necessary to characterize soil and other soil materials intended to be re-used, with or without preliminary treatment (e.g., screening to remove over large material). ISO 15176 is intended to be of use in determining the suitability of soil materials for re-use and the assessment of the environmental impacts that might arise from re-use. ISO 15176 takes into account the different requirements of topsoil, sub-soil, and other soil materials such as sediments or treated soils. Soil materials include natural soils and other materials (e.g., fill, made ground) excavated, stripped, or otherwise removed from their original in-ground or above-ground location (e.g., stockpile), dredged materials, manufactured soils, and soil treated to remove or destroy contaminants. For manufactured soils, which are often made using excavated materials together with other materials such as “green waste”, the characteristics of the components and of the manufactured product might need to be determined. Note: Radiochemical and geotechnical aspects are not covered. Who is ISO 15176- Characterization of excavated soil for ? ISO 15176 on the characterization of excavated soil is useful for: Constructors / builders Road and rail constructors Ecologists and conservationists Soil testing laboratories Landowners Why should you use ISO 15176- Characterization of excavated soil ?
