TS 7124

TS 7124 is a standard that brings together the terminology and illustrative figures used for mounting and joining fishing netting. Its focus is the shared technical language and visual representation of how netting is assembled and connected, helping users describe net structures consistently in the fishing sector.

Why the terms for mounting and joining matter

In fishing nets, mounting refers to attaching netting to ropes, lines or other supporting elements, while joining refers to connecting separate netting sections to one another. These operations directly influence the net’s strength, shape, intended use and behaviour in service, so using the same terms for the same concepts is important. Terminology standards reduce ambiguity and help keep drawings, catalogues and technical documents consistent across manufacturers and users.

What this document covers

• Terms and illustrations related to fishing netting
• Naming used for mounting and joining of netting
• Visual guidance for common use in technical descriptions and drawings

This document is a Turkish standard regarded as equivalent to ISO 3660:1976. Its subject area is therefore the identification and description of structural elements of fishing nets, not numerical performance limits, test procedures or material specifications. In general technical context, netting is the patterned mesh structure that forms the body of the net, and mounting and joining are the methods that determine how that mesh is arranged into a working net shape.

Standards of this kind are especially useful in manufacturing drawings, training material and technical vocabularies, where the same term must always point to the same component or assembly method. For people working with fishing nets, that means clearer communication about parts, connections and net layout.
