EN 10223-8:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope 1.1 Subject This European Standard specifies requirements for the mechanical properties, dimensions, coatings, test methodology and delivery conditions of welded mesh gabions products. The general meaning of welded mesh gabion is a metallic box made of welded wire mesh to be filled with stone or other suitable material. Only the characteristics of the metallic cage are subject of this document.
Filling materials, e.g. coarse armourstone, are covered in other standards. This document covers gabions produced from welded wire fabric and accessories coated with a zinc coating, a hot-dip galvanization or a zinc-aluminium alloy, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or stainless steel. Accessories include complementary materials such as spiral binders, rings, lacing wires, tie-rods or spacers. 1.2 Intended use The intended use for the considered construction product is: earth retention, soil reinforcement systems, river training, erosion control purposes, slope retention, sound barriers, fencing, landscaping, covering or cladding as well as architectural purposes. Figure 1 below shows some relevant examples of applications of gabions.
Key 1 stepped face retaining structure 2 flush face retaining structure 3 slope protection 4 free standing walls, e.g. sound barrier 5 claddings, e.g. for architectural applications Figure 1 — Example of applications of gabions SIST EN 10223-8:2014

Spirals, lacing wire, locking pins, c-rings and bracing ties are also produced from zinc-aluminium-alloy coated wire.  Welded wire fabric, and lacing wire are produced from zinc coated wire and over coated with PVC. Spirals, locking pins and brace ties are produced from stainless steel wire or zinc coated wire and over coated with PVC.  Welded wire fabric, spirals, lacing wire, locking pins and brace ties are produced from stainless steel wire. 5 Information to be supplied by the purchaser The following information shall be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and order: a) number of this European Standard; b) quantity and type of gabion; c) size of the units; d) mesh size; e) wire diameter; f) stainless steel wire (see 6.2.2) or steel wire including metallic coating type (see 6.3); g) description of the site environment level (see Table 1); h) characteristics of the eventual PVC coating (see 6.4); SIST EN 10223-8:2014
