Scope
This European Standard specifies zinc coated and zinc alloy coated steel barbed wire, conventional and reverse
twist consisting of two stranded line wires, around which the barbs are tightly wound, a twist being imparted
between the barbs to restrict their movement. The barbed wire entanglement has a single line wire, around which
the barbs are wound.
