This European Standard describes a test method to determine the chemical resistance of geosynthetics to liquid municipal, agricultural and industrial wastes, using a laboratory immersion procedure.The procedure includes three chemical compounds chosen to initiate known types of chemical degradation, and a synthetic leachate representative of a landfill containing domestic waste. The procedure can also be applied using a site-specific leachate. These options are denoted by methods A to E:— method A: hydrolysis under acidic conditions; — method B: hydrolysis under basic conditions;— method C: solvation/swelling;— method D: synthetic leachate;— method E: any s
