Overview

EN 10223-6:2012 (CEN) specifies the dimensions, material properties and coating requirements for steel wire chain link fencing. The standard covers manufacturing, testing, sampling, inspection documentation and packaging to ensure consistent performance for boundary, security and civil applications. It forms Part 6 of the EN 10223 series for steel wire and wire products for fencing and netting.

Why it matters: EN 10223-6:2012 provides purchasers and manufacturers with a clear specification framework for chain link fencing - defining mesh sizes, wire tensile classes, coating classes and acceptable tolerances to deliver reliable, corrosion-resistant fences.

Key Topics

• Scope and definitions: Chain link fencing is described as interlocking steel wire helices producing approximately square meshes (mesh size measured at right angles between adjacent parallel wires).
• Base metal: Wire is produced from low carbon steel in accordance with EN ISO 16120-1 and EN ISO 16120-2. Wire is supplied as either low tensile (≤ 600 N/mm2) or high tensile (> 600 N/mm2); tensile spread within a lot shall not exceed 150 N/mm2.
• Coating options: Zinc or Zn95/Al5 alloy coatings (per EN 10244-1 / EN 10244-2) and subsequent organic coatings (per EN 10245 series) are specified. Coating classes A, B, C and D are referenced with wrap/adherence quality requirements.
• Dimensions and tolerances: Typical mesh sizes, nominal wire diameters and height tolerances are given (see standard Table 1). Typical fence heights include 0.5 m, 0.8 m, 0.9 m, 1.0 m, 1.2 m, 1.4 m, 1.5 m, 1.8 m, 2.0 m, 2.1 m, 2.4 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m, 3.5 m, 3.6 m and 4.0 m.
• Manufacture & presentations: Fencing may be supplied knuckled or with barbed ends and fabricated from coated or bright wire with extruded or sintered organic finishes where required.
• Testing & sampling: Tensile testing per EN 10218-1; coating tests per EN 10244 series and EN 10245 parts for organic coatings. Manufacturer sampling can use statistical control or agreed sampling (one roll/reel per week or one per production change).
• Packaging: Standard roll lengths are 12.5 m or 25 m with a tolerance of +20%/−0% unless otherwise agreed.

Applications

• Perimeter and boundary fencing for residential, commercial and industrial sites
• Security fencing where defined tensile and coating classes are required
• Civil works, temporary site enclosures and sports/recreation areas where consistent mesh geometry and corrosion protection are important

• EN 10204 - Types of inspection documents
• EN 10218-1 / EN 10218-2 - Test methods, wire dimensions and tolerances
• EN 10244-1 / EN 10244-2 - Non‑ferrous metallic coatings on steel wire (zinc and zinc‑alloy)
• EN 10245-1 / EN 10245-2 / EN 10245-3 - Organic coatings on steel wire (PVC, PE, general rules)
• EN ISO 16120-1 / EN ISO 16120-2 - Wire rod requirements for conversion to wire

For procurement and compliance, reference EN 10223-6:2012 in orders and specify required coating class, mesh, wire size, tensile range and inspection documentation to ensure the delivered chain link fencing meets application needs.
