Division (3) Selection of meshes for measuring

The meshes to be measured shall form a series of 20 consecutive meshes selected in the direction of the long axis of the net.

Meshes positioned less than 50 cm from lacings, ropes and codlines shall not be measured. This distance shall be measured perpendicular to the lacings, the ropes or the codline with the net stretched in the direction of measuring. Any mesh that has been mended or torn or to which attachments to the net are fixed shall not be measured.

By way of derogation from 3(a), the meshes to be measured need not be consecutive if this is prevented by the application of 3(b).

Nets shall be measured only when wet and non-frozen.
