Annex A is titled the sizes commonly available in the country, so it is a guide to what is made rather than a restriction. Oblong mesh is listed separately at 50 x 25 mm and 75 x 25 mm and 75 x 50 mm, in wires from 2.50 to 5.60 mm, and the two directions need not match. The fabric comes as flat sheets or rolls; clause 8 bundles sheets in lots of not more than 150, securely fastened, and requires a roll to be secured against unwinding and telescoping in transit. No sheet size or roll length is fixed by the standard, so tell us the size you want. The last column is what each is usually bought for. That is trade practice, not something the standard fixes, so tell us the job if it is not one of these.
