CPAI-84 Specification for Flame Resistant Materials Used in Camping Tent

The CPAI-84 standard, developed by the Industrial Fabrics Association International, is a standard designed for the flammability of recreational tents. This standard is defined as any portable temporary shelter or structure designed to protect people from the elements, including but not limited to camping tents, play tents (indoor and outdoor), recreational vehicle awnings, canopies, fabric curtain houses and ice fishing tents. applies to

In general, cooking tents used by a catering establishment must meet the required fire safety standards. It is necessary to make sure that tents and other equipment are safe for everyone. In short, the safety of staff and guests is increased by ensuring that the cooking tent meets CPAI-84 and NFPA 701 standards.

The complexity of fire resistance standards for textiles increases compliance issues. The national standard NFPA 701, developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), provides test methods for evaluating the flame spread of various textiles under specified fire test conditions. On the other hand, the CPAI-84 standard has been determined by the Industrial Fabrics Association International for the flammability of recreational tents.

The CPAI 1976 standard, first published in 84, is a non-committed and voluntary standard used to limit the risk of fire in tents. This standard describes the test method applicable to outdoor fabrics, including camping tents, indoor and outdoor play tents, canopies, awnings and screen houses.

The CPAI 84 standard is intended to determine the flammability of materials used in tent construction. During the applied test, the coal length and mass loss after the flame are determined. Unlike NFPA 701 certification, the CPAI 84 standard does not attempt to determine whether a fabric is flame retardant.

The CPAI-84 standard covers the following aspects of tent material:

• Upholstery: It is the bendable material used on the floors of the tents and integrated into the parts of the tent. Rugs or carpets laid on the floor are not included.
• Wall and top material: Any other material that is integrated into the parts of the tent, other than the flooring material.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services for flame-resistant materials used in camping tents, within the scope of CPAI-84 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
