TY - CONF A1 - Wöhlecke, Andreas A1 - Müller, Werner T1 - Requirements and performance tests on leak detection systems (LDS) for HDPE geomembranes in landfill covers in Germany T2 - 10th ICG - International Conference on Geosynthetics N2 - The German landfill ordinance regulates the use of geosynthetics, polymers and leak detection systems (LDS) in the field of landfill engineering in Germany. It governs the certification process and sets a framework for the requirements on these products. The certification guidelines of the BAM Federal Institute of Materials Research and Testing turn these requirements into detailed technical specifications and associated test procedures. The present paper describes the procedure of developing certification guidelines for LDS by BAM and its advisory board. The requirements for the certification of LDS under the terms of the new German landfill ordinance with regard to operation and capability are listed and the technical criteria are described. The performance test for LDS used in connection with geomembranes is discussed in detail.
