BIS CERTIFICATION FOR HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) GEOMEMBRANES FOR LINING IS 16352
Published Date: February 28, 2025 4 min Read
According to IS 16352:2020, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes for lining applications must be BIS certified to ensure their performance and durability. This standard guarantees that HDPE geomembranes used in containment and lining applications are capable of withstanding mechanical and environmental stresses. Geomembranes that have certification under this standard are tested for essential properties such as tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, and chemical compatibility, ensuring that they remain effective over time in various containment environments. Compliance with IS 16352:2020 ensures that the geomembranes used for lining applications maintain their integrity and provide long-term protection against leakage and environmental degradation.
IS 16352:2020 – High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Geomembranes for Lining
This standard defines the quality and performance requirements for HDPE geomembranes used in lining applications such as landfill liners, canal linings, and wastewater treatment facilities. The performance parameters, including tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, and chemical resistance, are essential for ensuring the durability of geomembranes. One of the key aspects of this standard is ensuring that HDPE geomembranes provide an impermeable barrier against water, chemicals, and waste, thereby preventing contamination and seepage into the surrounding environment. The specification is aimed at ensuring that the geomembranes can withstand exposure to UV radiation, temperature variations, and mechanical stresses without significant degradation. In accordance with IS 16352:2020, HDPE geomembranes provide reliable long-term containment solutions for environmental and industrial applications.
Benefits of BIS Certification for HDPE Geomembranes
BIS certification under IS 16352:2020 provides manufacturers and suppliers of HDPE geomembranes with a competitive edge by ensuring compliance with national quality standards. This certification enhances market credibility and helps businesses secure approvals for infrastructure and environmental projects. For users, certified HDPE geomembranes ensure reliability and durability in containment applications, reducing the risks of leaks and structural failures. Compliance with BIS certification also assures that the geomembranes used in critical containment projects meet essential physical and chemical resistance requirements, making them a preferred choice for industrial and environmental protection applications.
