according to there web site there was a scheme developed 5 years ago

copied and pasted from there site

NetsThe Angling Foundation’s nets accreditation scheme for keepnets, landing nets and allied equipment was launched nearly five years ago. It was devised because of growing concern by observant fishery owners over the abrasiveness of certain types of nets and the effect on their fish. Such has been the huge success of the scheme that there are now a 10 manufacturers in membership, and 117 products that have passed the tests.
