This document covers areas in the international field of geotechnical engineering never previously standardised internationally. It is intended that this document presents broad good practice throughout the world and significant differences with national documents is not anticipated. It is based on international practice.
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

ISO 17892-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 341, Geotechnical investigation and testing, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 182, Geotechnics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This first edition of ISO 17892-1 cancels and replaces ISO/TS 17892-1:2004, which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO/TS 17892-1:2004/Cor 1:2006.
ISO 17892 consists of the following parts, under the general title “Geotechnical investigation and testing — Laboratory testing of soil”:
— Part 1: Determination of water content
— Part 2: Determination of bulk density
— Part 3: Determination of particle density
— Part 4: Determination of particle size distribution
— Part 5: Incremental loading oedometer test
— Part 6: Fall cone test
— Part 7: Unconfined compression test on fine-grained soils
— Part 8: Unconsolidated undrained triaxial test
— Part 9: Consolidated triaxial compression tests on water-saturated soils
— Part 10: Direct shear tests
— Part 11: Determination of permeability by constant and falling head
— Part 12: Determination of Atterberg limits
