It requires a certification of the geosynthetics by the BAM. The certification-guidelines define the state of the art by giving detailed requirements and specifications i the various geosynthetic products used in landfill constructions. According to the German Landfill Ordinance geosynthetic products have to fulfil their function for more than 100 years. Beyond, supported by an advisory board of landfill experts, BAM has developed installation requirements and demands on quality management for production, installation and third party control. The BAM is responsible to define tests and testing criteria for geosynthetics, to include provisions into the certification document and in addition to stipulate requirements with regard to installation procedure and quality management in Germany. All documents of the BAM such as certification guidelines, recommendations and testing specifications which are approved by the advisory board are published in German language on the website and in the Official Gazette*** of the BAM. For the certification one of the basic requirements is that the geosynthetic product is produced with well defined and well reproducible properties. Thus, a sophisticated quality management System is needed. In addition, not only production control, but also a quality assurance for the installation is necessary.
