French, European and ISO Standards

in the Field of Geotechnics

S.1. Introduction

French standards are noted as NF in order to distinguish them from European


(written as NF EN) or international (written as NF EN ISO) standards.

The XP reference indicates the experimental character of the standard on which


the NF standards are imposed.

The EN reference indicates that the standard comes from the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN).

The standards preceded by the ISO reference are the work of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The applications of the Eurocodes are translated into transcripts by the national
standards bodies of each country: for example, Eurocode 7 – Part 1 is transcribed as
DIN EN 1997-1 in Germany, NBN EN 1997-1 in Belgium, NF EN 1997-1 in France
and BS EN 1997-1 in the United Kingdom.

National application standards of (Eurocode 7) are updated in each country.

Under the decree of January 26, 1984, the standard is considered as “a


reference” in France. It is therefore neither a law nor a regulation. Its application
becomes compulsory when one party, among other signatories of the same contract,
has referred to it.

The application of a standard may also be mandatory when it is related to the


prevention of risks and damage to people and property.

The choice of an NF, EN or ISO standard in the contract is the responsibility of


the project owner. However, it is normally up to the project manager, who is
considered the “expert” and “conductor” of the project, to advise and guide the
project owner toward the choice of one standard over another.

The standards indicated in the “project” framework may be referenced in the


contracts, subject to precautions in their use.

Finally, the same standards and rules in effect must be applied to the various
components of the construction project (soil and foundations, structure).

test companies
