Mesh: Series of ropes arranged in a basic geometric pattern (either in squares or diamonds) with four knots or connecting points, forming a net.

Net: Connection of meshes.

Safety Net: Net supported by a border rope, other supporting elements or a combination of these designed to catch persons falling from a height.

Mesh size (IM): Distance between two knots or connections of a mesh rope measured from the centre to the centre of these connections.

Class: Classification of the net with regard to energy absorption capacity and mesh size.

Nets classification: This standard specifies 4 classes of net with maximum mesh sizes (IM) and nominated values of energy which may act on the net (EA and EB) as follows:

  • Class A1: EA = 2,3 KJ; IM = 60 mm

  • Class A2: EA = 2,3 KJ; IM = 100 mm

  • Class B1: EB= 4,4 KJ; IM= 60 mm

  • Class B2: EB= 4,4 KJ; IM= 100 mm
