This standard BS EN ISO 22476-6:2018 Geotechnical investigation and testing. Field testing is classified in these ICS categories:

• 93.020 Earthworks. Excavations. Foundation construction. Underground works

This document specifies the equipment requirements, execution of and reporting on self-boring pressuremeter (SBP) tests.

NOTE This document fulfils the requirements for self-boring pressuremeter test as part of the geotechnical investigation services according to EN 1997‑1 and EN 1997‑2.

Tests with the self-boring pressuremeter cover the measurement in situ of the deformation of soils and weak rocks by the expansion and contraction of a cylindrical flexible membrane under pressure.
