Bentonite clays
Drilling fluids
Geosynthetic bentonite materials
Rock soils (bedrock)
Construction materials
Rocks, ores
Mineral raw materials (including for chemical productions)
Cements
Refractory products
Peat
Bauxites
Minerals (all types)
Graphite (artificial, colloidal, semi-colloidal)
Products based on graphite and carbon
Determined characteristics (indicators):
Sampling, manufacturing, preparation, classification, labeling, transportation, and storage of samples
Granulometric and microaggregate composition
Moisture content
