Acceptancetesting can be done prior to GCLshipment, directly after arrival of the GCLon site, and/oror prior to GCLinstallation. installation,or both. Irregularities should be noted and reported.NOTE 1Some GCL producers add polymers to t
36、he clay component during the manufacturing process. However, clay component testing accordingto Test Methods D5890 and D5891 is done on the bentonite without polymer modification.Acceptance testing on site is carried out on the finished GCL,so that clay component testing on site according to Test Me
37、thods D5890 and D5891 might be influenced by the added polymers.5.2 Supplied GCL rolls should be observed on site in order to identify any damage to the rolls or the wrapping. In case of anydamage Guide D5888 should be followed. Any damage should be noted and reported.5.3 Before storing or unrolling
38、 GCL rolls, or both, the individual roll identification should be verified and should be comparedwith the packing list. Irregularities should be noted and reported.5.4 If sampling of GCL material is necessary, for example, for testing purposes, Guide D6072D6072/D6072M should befollowed.5.5 The recom
39、mended acceptance tests and test methods for GCL materials are given in Table 1. The tests are performed onthe finished GCL and should be compared with the accepted material specifications. Irregularities should be noted and reported.5.6 GCL rolls not in compliance with the accepted material specifi
