To meet the needs of geotextile manufacturers interested in obtaining recognition of their product quality, the BNQ has established a certification program based on the BNQ 7009-910 protocol in particular. The protocol was developed under the leadership of the CTT Group. When the BNQ confirms that a manufacturer’s products conform to the program’s requirements, it issues the manufacturer a certificate of conformity. The scope of the manufacturer’s conformity certificate is based on the following three parameters for each geotextile undergoing certification:
Agri-Food
Business management
Civil engineering and urban infrastructure
Grates, Covers, Frames, Catch Basin Traps and Valve Boxes — Grey-Iron and Ductile-Iron Castings
Pipes
Concrete pipes and connections – Evacuation of Sanitary Wastewater and Storm Water (2622-126)
Ductile Cast Iron Piping and Joints – Drinking Water and Sewer Line Systems (3623-085)
PVC pipe and fittings – Buried sewers (3624-130)
PVCu pipe and fittings – Subsurface sewers and land drainage (3624-135)
Single-Wall PE Pipe and Fittings – Surface Water Evacuation, Soil Drainage and Culverts (3624-110)
PE Pipe and Fittings - Drainage (3624-115)
PE Pipe and Fittings – Storm Sewer, Culverts and Soil Drainage (3624-120)
