DIN Standards Committee Plastics

Overview

This standard specifies the characteristics, requirements and test methods for coated fabrics intended for mobile, temporary structures in the form of tents (such as marquee, hangar, tent-hall, booth, excluding camping tents) and related structures. Plastic films and materials other than coated fabrics are not covered by this standard. The standard introduces a system that uses different levels of performance (A, B and C) for each characteristic, or T1, T2, T3, T4 for the fire behaviour. This procedure allows to choose the appropriate level for each characteristic and so to compose a "product profile", adapted to each specific type of use. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 248 "Textile and textile products" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 054-04-04 AA "Kunststoff-Folien und kunststoffbeschichtete Flächengebilde (Kunstleder); allgemeine Eigenschaften" ("Plastic films and plastics-coated fabrics (artificial leather); general characteristics") of FNK.
