Full title and description

ISO 10318-2:2015/Amd 1:2018 — Geosynthetics — Part 2: Symbols and pictograms — Amendment 1 (PDF). This document is the published amendment to ISO 10318-2:2015 that adds and clarifies symbols and pictograms used in ISO/CEN geosynthetics standards to ensure consistent labelling, product data sheets and technical documentation.

Abstract

This amendment to ISO 10318-2:2015 provides additional or revised graphical symbols, property symbols and pictograms for geosynthetics (for example geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes) so that product data sheets, test reports and drawings use a consistent symbolic language across ISO and EN standards. It complements Part 1 (vocabulary/terms) and supports unified presentation of physical, hydraulic and functional properties.

General information

• Status: Published.
• Publication date: May 2018 (Amendment 1 published May 2018; original Part 2 published April 2015).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 01.080.99; 59.080.70 (Geosynthetics / geotextiles).
• Edition / version: ISO 10318-2:2015 with Amendment 1 (ISO 10318-2:2015/Amd 1:2018).
• Number of pages: Amendment document: 1 page (amendment only). The base part ISO 10318-2:2015 is published as a short part (typically 7–16 pages depending on publisher formats).

Scope

Defines the property symbols (with units where appropriate), graphical symbols and pictograms to be used in ISO and EN geosynthetics standards. The purpose is to harmonize the visual language for describing material properties (physical, hydraulic, mechanical), functions and handling/installation instructions so that manufacturers, test laboratories and specifiers share a common set of symbols in datasheets, drawings and labels. The amendment provides additions and clarifications to the original 2015 part.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized property symbols for physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, mass per unit area, width, length).
• Hydraulic symbols and derived parameters (permeability k, permittivity ψ, transmissivity θ, velocity/flow indices, characteristic opening size O90).
• Graphical pictograms indicating primary functions (separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, barrier, protection, erosion control) and handling/installation cues.
• Rules for use of symbols in product data sheets, technical drawings and test reports to ensure consistency across EN and ISO documents.
• Amendment-specific clarifications and additions to existing symbol sets (as listed in the 2018 amendment).

Typical use and users

Used by geotechnical and civil engineers, product manufacturers and suppliers of geosynthetics, testing laboratories, standards writers, specification authors and procurement specialists who need an authoritative, consistent set of symbols for product data sheets, lab reports, drawings and labels in projects involving geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids and related materials.

Related standards

ISO 10318 series (notably ISO 10318-1 — Vocabulary / terms) and other ISO/CEN test-method standards that define particular property tests and specific symbol definitions. The earlier consolidated ISO 10318 (2005) was superseded and split into the Parts series; Part 2 (symbols) is intended to be used together with Part 1 (vocabulary). The ISO pages indicate ongoing maintenance and future revisions (e.g., development of ISO/DIS 10318-2 at the time of the amendment).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10318-2:2015/Amd 1:2018 is Amendment 1 (published May 2018) to Part 2 of the ISO 10318 series. Part 2 standardizes symbols and pictograms used for geosynthetics; the amendment makes limited additions and clarifications to the 2015 text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the set of property symbols (with units where applicable), graphical symbols and pictograms for geosynthetic materials and their functions — for use on datasheets, drawings, lab reports and labels — and provides amendment-level changes to those symbol definitions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and suppliers of geosynthetics, civil/geotechnical engineers, test laboratories, standards committees, and specifiers who prepare or read product data sheets, test reports and technical drawings for geosynthetic materials.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The amendment itself (ISO 10318-2:2015/Amd 1:2018) is a published correction/clarification to the 2015 Part 2. ISO records show the 2015 Part 2 plus its 2018 amendment as published; the committee has indicated work on a revised DIS for Part 2 in later maintenance cycles, so users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards body for any subsequent revisions or replacements before relying on the very latest status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 10318 series (geosynthetics). Part 1 covers vocabulary/terms; other parts and test-method standards complement the series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: geosynthetics, symbols, pictograms, geotextiles, property symbols, permittivity, transmissivity, O90, product labelling.
