Overview

The principal objective of this document is to simplify it from previous editions. It combines test requirements and product requirements into one document, providing manufacturers, specifiers and consumers with a single reference point for the safety and quality performance of awnings. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 112-02-01 AA "Campingzelte" ("Camping tents") at DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment (NASport). This document specifies requirements, test methods and material performance characteristics for vehicle awnings. It applies to awnings intended to be pitched and struck. This document is not applicable to: a) sun awnings: structure detachable from the vehicle which is used to provide shelter from the sun, but is not designed or constructed to provide shelter from wind, rain or snow; a sun awning can be used with additional front and side panels to form an enclosure, but this enclosure would not meet the requirements of an awning as defined in this document. b) external blinds: structure permanently fixed to a vehicle which is used to provide shelter from the sun, but is not designed or constructed to provide shelter from wind, rain or snow; an external blind can be used with additional front and side panels to form an enclosure, but this enclosure would not meet the requirements of an awning as defined in this document. c) fixed awnings: permanent awning which is not designed for mobile use. Awnings equipped with square aluminium frames or timber supporting structures and the possibility to install living compartment windows and doors.
