Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

4 Description of use and applications
The typical use for the considered products is retaining of unstable slopes, controlling and preventing
rockfalls and loose debris flow along roads, highways and railway, urban areas, mines and quarries,
and for snow avalanche protection.
Figure 1 shows some relevant examples of applications of wire rope net panels.
5 Wire rope net panels
5.1 General
Wire rope net panels are made of square nets or other shapes (e.g. triangular, jersey, rhomboidal, etc.)
of nets manufactured with one or more than one rope as shown in Figure 1.
Wire rope net can be manufactured both in panels and in rolls.

The knot can be made in the different ways described in 5.2 to 5.4.
5.2 Double knot
This kind of knot (see Figure 2) is made by two bindings, each one obtained by looping a pair of steel
3,00 mm wires coated with a zinc-aluminium-5 % alloy. The two bindings tightly envelop the ropes
crossing each other.
Key
1 steel wire
2 net rope
Figure 2 — Example of double knot
The use of single knot may be agreed between the supplier and purchaser, provided that performance
to punching tests of the panel meets the project requirement.
5.3 Clips or staple knot
In this kind of panel (see Figure 3), the overlapping points of the wrapping rope are connected using
electro-plated clips, which are made of two half-shells pressure-closed.
Figure 3 — Examples of clips knot and staple knot (patented)
5.4 Without connection clips
See Figure 4.

Lower wire diameters may be used provided that performance characteristics of the whole net panel
can be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended use.
