It addresses spatial and physical characteristics of soil, rock and groundwater, but does not cover the chemical, biological or other environmental aspects of the investigation of contaminated ground.

This Standard specifies requirements for the execution of geotechnical site investigations and provides a standardized system for the identification, description and classification of soils and rocks.This Standard applies to geotechnical site investigation of natural or filled ground for—(a) new construction;(b) maintenance of existing facilities;(c) the evaluation of post construction performance;(d) the assessment of failure; and(e) broad geotechnical studies.NOTE: Commentary on the changes from the 1993 edition is set out in Appendix F.
