Mechanical Tests

Permali net systems and guardrail stanchions have been

approved by the UK MoD.

They also meet the requirements of the IMO, DNV and

Lloyds register.

PRODUCT BULLETIN
To gain MoD approval for a net system, a 90kgs sandbag is
dropped from a height of 1.5 metres above the system into
the net.

To pass the test no part of the system is allowed to fail and

the system must be fully operable following the test.

Permali routinely drop a 150kg sandbag from a height

of 1.5 metres into the net to ensure that the system
is fully compliant and meets even the most stringent
requirements.

The stanchions undergo a similar test where the sandbag is

replaced by a solid steel weight of 90kgs.
