BS 6341 Specification for Fabrics for camping tents
1 Scope
This British Standard specifies requirements for fabrics used in the manufacture of ridge tents and frame tents for camping and is divided into sections so that compliance can be claimed or requested with the whole standard, the requirements for general properties or the flammability requirements only.
Flammability requirements for flooring elements (i.e. groundsheets) are also included, but no additional requirements for groundsheets are given. The flammability requirements for non-flooring elements are also applicable to unsupported plastics film used for windows.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
