Regulatory assistance
Fils finished products in expanded metal mesh are certified in full compliance with the regulations in the various fields of application. Specialised publications are available that report the requirements of the standards and guide the correct choice of product.
NTC 2008 Standards
The Technical Standards for Construction (NTC 2008), approved by the Italian Ministry for Infrastructure establish the working load capacity expected of structures for each type of load and application. In Table 3.1.II (Values of overloads for the different categories of use of buildings) shows the working loads for walkways.
DIN 51130 - Slip resistance
German norm DIN 51130 (determination of the anti-slip coefficient) tests floors at 5 different angles to assess their slip resistance; this is graded according to the angle at which a foot starts to slip on the material in question. A material is deemed to have a low coefficient of friction when feet start slipping when the test ramp is set at a small angle. Fils grating guarantees excellent non-slip results.
UNI EN 12453
UNI EN 112453 concerns the protection of moving gates and doors. "Safe" mesh responds to the resulting need to guarantee the safety of automated gates and doors. The aperture of this mesh meets the highest requirements of this norm.
IEC EN 60529 - IP code
International norm IEC EN 60529 classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by enclosures for electrical devices. In the annex you will find the IP code structure and the stretched mesh meshes with standard-compliant characteristics: IP 10, IP 20, IP 30 and IP 40.
