What we work to What We Work To
How netting performs comes down to material, mesh, twine diameter and installation. These are the standards and figures we work to — all of them checkable against the national standard or the test report.
- CNS 16079 · CNS 14252
- The basis for safety netting specification: 10 cm or less on any side of the mesh, 2 cm or less for cover netting.
- 132.7 kgf
- Minimum tensile strength of the netting cord, including knots, for safety netting.
- CNS 10285 L3196-1995 A-4
- The Class 1 flame-retardancy standard our netting meets, tested by TTRI (report no. TFF14G0168).
- LOI ≥ 32%
- Limiting Oxygen Index of the flame-retardant netting. Ambient air is about 21% oxygen; the higher the figure, the less readily it sustains combustion.
- 1.5 – 7 cm
- Bird-netting mesh range, selected by species: small birds 1.5–2 cm, medium 3–4 cm, large 4–7 cm.
- 190 → 271 kgf
- Single-cord tensile strength of hydrophobic composite yarn against ordinary fall-arrest netting — about 1.43× (calculated from supplied test values).
These are product specifications and standard requirements. Real-world performance still depends on installation, supporting structure and operating environment; we are glad to assess your site.

06 / Transparency
How we present information How We Present Information
Netting is a safety-related product, and how precisely it is described affects purchasing decisions directly. This is how we handle information on this site.
Specifications follow the test report
Flame-retardancy grade, LOI and tensile figures always cite the standard and report number. Anything untested carries no grade.
Patent ownership stated plainly
Every patent shown names its holder and validity period; where it is not ours, we say so.
No claims we cannot support
The Ukrainian road-protection case is presented as an international trend only; we make no claim to military-grade anti-drone capability.
External sources attributed
News, official material and photographs quoted in our articles carry their source and licence.
Performance depends on the site
Installation, support structure, wind, sun exposure and required service life all affect the result. We explain rather than guarantee.
Honest lead times
Most products are made to order, so there is no standard lead time. We answer from actual production loading rather than promising dates we cannot meet.
