EN 13782. This European Standard has been drawn up according to past experience and risk analysis. The content of this European Standard collects the different existing national regulations and refers to the different European test standards available for coated fabrics.
This European Standard also introduces a system of levels. It is not possible to divide coated fabric for tents into just a few performance levels, because of the enormous variety of conditions of use. This European Standard proposes different level of performance (A, B, C) for each characteristic – or T1, T2, T3, T4 for the fire behaviour. This allows to choose the appropriate level for each characteristic and so to compose a "product profile", adapted to each specific type of use. This means that for small tents exposed to low wind and snow loads but high exposition to sun light, a mechanical resistance level C may be required combined with a colour fastness level A. The level system should absolutely not be interpreted as if a coated fabric for tents needs to be rated "A" for all properties in order to obtain a "class" A. This European standard specifies requirements which are useful at design, calculation, manufacture, installation, maintenance, operation, examination and testing of coated fabric.
1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characteristics, requirements and test methods for coated fabric intended for mobile, temporary installed tents (see 3.3) and related structures.
Plastic film and material other than coated fabrics are not covered by this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5.3 Tear strength In order to assess the risk of propagation of a tear due to lack of quality of the coated fabric or to an accident, the tear strength performances of a coated fabric shall be measured according to EN 1875-3 and declared by the manufacturer. 5.4 Coating adhesion The adhesion between the base fabric and the coating layer of the membrane material shall be assumed by coating adhesion tests according to Annex B. 5.5 Dimensional stability
During its life the tent membrane made up of coated fabric is submitted to many environmental loads (wind, snow, rain) and many mounting and dismantling of the structure. In order to limit any dimensional change of the membrane panels during the life of the tent, the fabric shall be dimensionally stable. The dimensional stability of the fabric shall be measured in both directions according to the test method described in C.1. For tents exposed to elevated temperatures during their use, an optional test is proposed in Annex C including a heat exposure (C.2) before mechanical loading. 5.6 Colour fastness to weathering and light The samples are exposed according to Annex A. Colour fastness is assessed by comparison with the grey scale and the specimens exposed for 2000 h to artificial ageing and the non-exposed specimens. The ageing procedure detailed in Annex A is based on EN ISO 4892-3 exposure mode 1 (UV, moisture cycle, and elevated temperature) that simulate the outdoor natural ageing.
5.7 Susceptibility to the development of microorganisms
In some climatic and environmental conditions, microorganisms may fix and develop on the surface of the coating. Their presence may damage the coating layer itself (discoloration, degradation of plastic coating) and may also hinder the use of the coated fabric membrane. The manufacturer of the coated fabric shall ensure that the coated fabric is treated with adapted treatment or sufficiently resistant to the action of microorganisms according to EN ISO 846. 5.8 Appearance Inspection of the appearance of membrane is important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from the aspect of examining for the presence of defects causing structural problems and of obstructions
