6.1.1.2 Dimensional stability
When tested in accordance with ISO 7771 using a cycle of 2 h, the dimensional change shall be not more than ±3 %.
6.1.1.3 Flammability
61.1.3.1 General
If the fabrics of camping tents are claimed to have flame retardant properties, they shall be tested when new and shall conform with the requirements in 6.1.1.3.2. 6.1.1.3.3 and 6.1.1,3.4. Where applied chemical finishes are used to produce the flame retardant properties, see Table2. NOTE, as well as 11.1.2 and Annex B.
6.1.1.3.2 Outer tent material
When tested in accordance with ISO 6941:2003, Procedure A (using a 10 s ignition time, face ignition), no marker threads shall be severed, there shall be no flaming debris, there shall be no flame to either vertical edge ofthe test specimen, no single sample shall show after-flame time exceeding 10 s, and the average after-flame time not exceeding 6 s.
6.1.1.3.3 Inner tent material
When tested in accordance with ISO 6941:2003, Procedure A (using a 10 s ignition time, face ignition), no marker threads shall be severed, there shall be flaming debris on no more than 2 of the tested samples, there shall be no flame to either vertical edge ofthe test specimen, no single sample shall show after-flame exceeding 20 s, with an average after-flame time not exceeding 12 s. Should a single sample fail, the test shall be repeated once more and if the fabric fails a second time then the fabric is deemed to have failed the test.
6.1.1.3.4 Groundsheet
When tested in accordance with ISO 6925, the radius of burn shall be less than 35 mm.
6.1.2 Ground fastening
At least one ground fastening shall be provided for each corner or four ground fasteners as a minimum if the camping tent is not rectangular.
6.1.3 Protective measures
Points on the ground-sheet which are in contact with frame parts shall be suitably protected.
6.1.4 Ventilation
6.1.4.1 General
In order to reduce the risk of suffocation camping tents shall be designed to maintain a circulation of air and minimise the opportunity for a build-up of harmful gases to dangerous levels within the sleeping areas.
NOTE For warning label, see Clause 9.
6.1.4.2 Sealed tents
In order to provide a sufficient circulation of air, a minimum of 2 ventilation openings shall be provided. Each of which shall be of a minimum size of at least 100 cm2 per person. These openings shall be of such a design that when opened they cannot be closed by prevailing weather conditions. At least 50 % of the vent size per person shall be in the top 50% of the tent.
6.1.4.3 Double-skin tents
By the suitable choice of materials and product design, a camping tent shall enable a permanent circulation of air to reduce condensation.
6.1.5 Entrance/exit
Camping tents shall have an entrance/exit in both the flysheet and the inner tent where appropriate.
a) with an area of 0,5 m2 and a width of 500 mm for category A, and
b) with an area of 0,9 m2 and a width of 500 mm for category B.
Camping tents with a sleeping capacity of five or more persons and an inner tent area of 3 m2 per person shall have at least one additional exit. Where two exits are provided, this size requirement only applies to the first.
Camping tent exits may be closed using a zip fastener (see 6.2.2) or any other system, provided that they can be opened easily from the bottom, if the exit is higher than 100 cm.
NOTE in order to provide an escape route for children.
6.1.6 Insect protection
Doors and openings for inner tents shall be insect proof when they are closed. Insect resistant nets, if used, shall have a maximum mesh size of 1 mm x 1 mm.
6.1.7 Resistance to penetration by rain
The resistance of the camping tent shall be such that no water penetrates the camping tent interior except a light mist during the first 2 mm, when the rain test in accordance with 8JL is carried out.
The outer fabric of the camping tent shall not come into contact with the inner fabric unless designed to do so, e.g. pole sleeves of geodesic tents, see Figure 2.BS EN ISO 5912 pdf download.
