Steel wire and wire products for fences - Part 1: Zinc and zinc-alloy coated steel barbed wire

This European Standard specifies zinc coated and zinc alloy coated steel barbed wire, conventional and reverse twist consisting of two stranded line wires, around which the barbs are tightly wound, a twist being imparted between the barbs to restrict their movement. The barbed wire entanglement has a single line wire, around which the barbs are wound.

Overview

SIST EN 10223-1:2013 is a European standard established by CEN that specifies the requirements for zinc and zinc-alloy coated steel barbed wire used in fencing and netting applications. This standard covers the manufacturing, dimensions, mechanical properties, coating quality, and testing methods for conventional, reverse twist, and barbed wire entanglement types. It applies to steel wire products designed to meet performance criteria ensuring durability, strength, and corrosion resistance for external structural fencing.

Key Topics

  • Wire Types and Constructions
    The standard defines three types of barbed wire:

    • Conventional (C): Two line wires twisted with barbs tightly wound around them at specific intervals.
    • Reverse Twist (RT): Two line wires twisted alternately with a tighter lay, ensuring that the wire resists unwinding up to a specified load.
    • Barbed Wire Entanglement (BWE): A single crimped wire with barbs, supplied in cylindrical coils, designed for security fencing and entanglement barriers.
  • Material and Coating Requirements
    Steel wire must comply with quality specifications from EN ISO 16120 series (wire rod) and be zinc or zinc-alloy coated to standards EN 10244-1 and EN 10244-2, ensuring corrosion protection and durability.

  • Mechanical Properties
    Minimum tensile strength and breaking loads for the wire and barbs are specified to guarantee performance under stress, with typical wire diameters ranging between 1.5 mm and 2.7 mm.

  • Manufacturing Specifications
    Detailed twisting methods, barb spacing, barb projection, and cutting angles are prescribed to ensure consistent product quality across different barbed wire types.

  • Testing and Quality Control
    EN 10223-1 outlines mechanical testing methods (per EN 10218-1), dimensional checks (EN 10218-2), and coating inspections (EN 10244 series). Sampling plans and inspection documentation follow EN 10021 and EN 10204 standards.

  • Packaging and Delivery
    Barbed wire reels come in standard lengths, typically 100 m, 200 m, 250 m, or 500 m. Barbed wire entanglement is supplied in bundles of coils for ease of deployment.

Applications

  • Agricultural Fencing
    Protects livestock and crops by providing secure, durable barriers resistant to environmental degradation.

  • Security Fencing
    Used in perimeter security for industrial sites, military installations, and correctional facilities, particularly the barbed wire entanglement form which deters unauthorized access effectively.

  • Construction and External Structures
    Applied in temporary or permanent fencing to mark boundaries and protect construction sites from intrusion or hazards.

  • Infrastructure Protection
    Suitable for railway, highway, and utility installations requiring robust and reliable fencing solutions against vandalism and accidents.
