CPAI-84: Flammability test to Camping Tentage

CPAI-84:1995 camping tentage

 
      CPAI-84: Flammability test to Camping Tentage - Scope

The standard provides test methods for evaluating flame resistance of fabric and other pliable materials in camping tentage.It also provides performance criteria and certification guidelines for suppliers.Finally, it describes labeling programs to caution the user against actions detrimental to flame-retardant finishes, as well as to facilitate the identification of tentage as being constructed of flame-resistant materials and to identify the manufacturer.

 
      CAPI-84: Flammability test to Camping Tentage – Performance requirements

> Flooring Material

When subjected to the test described in Section 5,no specimen from a sample unit of flooring material shall be damaged within 25mm of the edge of the hole in the flattening frame, This requirement include:

specimens that were leached and unweathered 

specimens that were unleached but unweathered

specimens that were weathered but unleached

>Wall and Top Material

When subjected to the test described in Section 5, no specimen from a sample unit of wall and top material shall have an afer-flame time (length of time a specimen continues to flame after removal of the test flame source) of more than 4 seconds; the average after-flame time for all specimens in a sample unit shall not exceed 2 seconds.
 

Portions or residues that break or drip from the test specimens shall not continue to flame after they reach the floor of the test cabinet. They should self-extinguish before (or as) they contact the floor of the test cabiner.

These requirements include:

specimens that were leached and unweathered 

specimens that were unleached but unweathered

specimens that were weathered but unleached
