The use of geomembranes is governed by regulations and standards that ensure their safe and effective application in environmental, civil, and geotechnical engineering projects.
These regulations may include industry standards, such as those from the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) or ISO (International Organization for Standardization), which specify requirements for material properties, installation procedures, and quality control measures. Local and national environmental regulations may dictate the use of geomembranes in certain applications, such as landfill liners and hazardous waste containment, to protect soil and groundwater from contamination.
