Current TG3
• Only covered Asphalt Reinforcing
• The geosynthetic industry has grown significantly
• Geosynthetics are now accepted globally for:
subgrade stabilisation,
optimisation of the structural pavement layers
asphalt reinforcement

Sources of Information
• Collaboration of the TG3 Working Group with national committees responsible for the development of local standards was facilitated
• Some TG3 group members are also members of the SABS committee on geosynthetics (SABS/TC081/SC05), representing the national mirror committee of the ISO technical committee on geosynthetics.
