sch.2-sec.116 Grid requirements
The grid must— be at least 810mm wide and 810mm high; and have vertical bars, spaced no more than 120mm apart, extending from the top to the bottom of the net; and be constructed as a single solid unit without any hinged or collapsible components; and be attached to the entire circumference of the net; and be installed and kept at an angle of between 30º and 55º in the net so that it is inclined towards the escape hole. The grid must be constructed of rigid material. Also, if the escape hole is in the bottom of the net, the grid must be— constructed of a material with a density of no more than the density of seawater; and appropriately marked with— the density of the material, expressed in g/cm 3 or kg/cm 3 ; and the name of the grid’s manufacturer. sch 2 s 116 sub 2020 SL No. 236 s 159 (sch.2-sec.116-ssec.1) The grid must— be at least 810mm wide and 810mm high; and have vertical bars, spaced no more than 120mm apart, extending from the top to the bottom of the net; and be constructed as a single solid unit without any hinged or collapsible components; and be attached to the entire circumference of the net; and be installed and kept at an angle of between 30º and 55º in the net so that it is inclined towards the escape hole.
