Appendix to Annex III Measurement algorithm

To allow for creep in a stretched mesh:

1. 1..

   extend the movable jaw into the mesh at a constant speed of 300 ± 30 mm/min^f1, until the measurement force is reached;

2. 2..

   stop the motor and wait for 1 second;

3. 3..

   if the force drops below 80 % of the pre-set measurement force, extend the movable jaw into the mesh until the measurement force is reached once more.
