2、 revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide provides guidelines for the identification andpackaging of rolled geosynthetics by the man
3、ufacturer and forthe handling and storage of geosynthetics by the end user.Thisguide is not to be considered as all encompassing since eachproject involving geosynthetics presents its own challenges andspecial conditions.Geosynthetic samples are often taken atmanufacturer,supplier,or at the job site
4、 primarily for thepurpose of conformance testing and verification.Thesesamples should be properly labeled for identification purposes.1.2 This guide is intended to aid manufacturers,suppliers,purchasers,and users of geosynthetics for identification,handling,and storage.1.3 This guide is not applicab
