This part of ISO22282 specifies requirements for the determination of the local permeability in soils and rocks below or above the groundwater table in a closed system by the water permeability tests as part of the geotechnical investigation services according to EN1997-1 and EN1997-2.
The tests are used to determine the permeability coefficient k in low permeability soil and rock lower than 10−8 m/s. It can also be used to determine the transmissivity T and the storage coefficient S.
NOTE The water pressure test in rock is covered by ISO22282-3.
