This part of ISO 14688, together with ISO 14688-2, establishes the basic principles for the identification and classification of soils on the basis of those characteristics most commonly used for soils for engineering purposes. The relevant characteristics may vary and therefore, for particular projects or materials, more detailed subdivisions for identification and classification may be necessary. The general identification and description of soils is based on a flexible system for immediate (field) use by experienced persons, covering both soil and soil component characteristics, mainly by means of visual and manual techniques. Details are given of the individual characteristics for identifying soils and the descriptive terms in regular use, including those related to the results of tests from the field. This part of ISO 14688 is applicable to natural or artificial soils and similar filling materials. The identification and description of rocks is covered by ISO 14689. The identification and classification of soil for pedological purposes, as well as in the framework of measurements for soil protection and for remediation of contaminated areas, is covered by ISO 11259. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-05-02 AA "Benennung, Beschreibung und Klassifizierung von Boden und Fels (SpA zu ISO/TC 182/SC 1/WG 1 und CEN/TC 341)" ("Identification and classification of soil and rock (Mirror Committee of ISO/TC 182/SC 1/WG 1 and CEN/TC 341)") at DIN.
