scope:

This International Standard specifies a method for the designation of netting yarns for fishing nets by the use of the nominal linear densities of the single yarn components or of their resultant linear density, expressed in tex. As a general rule, netting yarns designated by their linear density or their resultant linear density are usually grey yarns without any preparation. If the indication of resultant density takes account of any effects of chemical or physical treatment, this shall be mentioned.
