Overview

EN 10223-2:2012 is the CEN European Standard specifying requirements for hexagonal steel wire netting used for agricultural, insulation and fencing purposes. It covers the dimensions, wire sizes, mesh geometry and the required zinc / zinc‑alloy and organic coatings, plus manufacture, sampling, testing and packaging rules for hexagonal (twisted) wire netting.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Applies to steel wire netting with hexagonal meshes intended for agricultural, insulation and fencing applications.
• Mesh and wire sizes: Mesh sizes and preferred wire diameters are defined (examples in the standard include mesh sizes such as 10, 13, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 65, 75 and 100 mm). Typical finished roll widths are given up to about 2 000 mm, with rabbit‑netting and other narrower widths also listed.
• Coatings:
  • Netting may be zinc or zinc‑alloy coated after fabrication or fabricated from pre‑coated wire.
  • Organic coatings may be applied either to uncoated netting or to zinc/zinc‑alloy coated netting; extruded or sintered organic coatings are permitted.
  • Coating mass requirements are specified (expressed per m2 of netting when coated after fabrication). EN 10244‑2:2009 Class A is the usual zinc coating class referenced.
• Construction details:
  • Defines regular twist and reverse twist netting and allows selvedges and stretching wires (selvedge wires must be at least equal or one size greater than netting wire).
  • Specifies minimum performance for wires zinc‑coated before fabrication (e.g., twisted wires shall not break or unwind when loaded to 80% of the breaking load).
• Testing and inspection:
  • Coating mass and uniformity tested per EN 10244‑1 / EN 10244‑2 and EN ISO 1461 where applicable; organic coatings assessed per EN 10245‑1.
  • Manufacturer quality control may use statistical methods or sample one roll in fifty.
  • Inspection documentation per EN 10021 and EN 10204.
• Packaging: Standard roll lengths typically 25 m or 50 m (other lengths by agreement).

Applications and users

• Applications: Agricultural fencing and enclosures, insulation support mesh, rabbit/poultry netting, perimeter and garden fencing where hexagonal mesh is suitable.
• Who uses it: Wire‑mesh manufacturers, civil/agricultural engineers, specifiers and procurement teams, fence installers, testing laboratories and conformity assessors who need to ensure dimensional, coating and performance compliance for hexagonal steel netting.

Related standards (normative references)

• EN 10223 series (other parts: barbed wire, welded mesh, chain link, gabions, etc.)
• EN 10244‑1 / EN 10244‑2:2009 (non‑ferrous metallic coatings on wire)
• EN 10245‑1 (organic coatings on wire)
• EN ISO 1461 (hot‑dip galvanizing on fabricated articles)
• EN ISO 16120‑1 / ‑2 (wire rod for conversion to wire)
• EN 10021, EN 10204 (delivery and inspection documentation)

This summary helps manufacturers and specifiers quickly locate key requirements in EN 10223‑2:2012 for durable, standards‑compliant hexagonal steel wire netting.
