TS 6354

TS 6354 is a terminology standard that defines the basic terms used in the manufacture of fishing nets, together with their definitions and the way dimensions are designated. It establishes a common technical language for concepts such as netting construction, mesh-related dimensions, and the naming of components used in net manufacture.

Why this terminology matters in net manufacture

In fishing-net production, the words used to describe the product need to be as precise as the structure itself. In general technical terms, netting is an open-mesh textile structure formed by joining yarns in a regular arrangement, and its geometry influences strength, flexibility, handling, and fishing function. A terminology standard helps ensure that manufacturers, engineers, and users interpret the same dimension or construction term in the same way.

What the standard addresses

• Basic terms and definitions related to the manufacture of fishing nets
• Rules for expressing or designating dimensions
• Consistent understanding of core concepts used in net-making

This item was published as TS 6354:1989 and later withdrawn. It is recorded as equivalent to ISO 1107:1974. As a vocabulary framework, it supports technical description and communication in fisheries and netted structures, but it is not, by itself, a product-performance standard or a manufacturing specification.
