18、his document supersedes EN 15619:2008+A1:2010. The main changes in comparison with the previous edition include: the normative references have been updated; use of the expression “coated fabric producer” instead of “manufacturer” throughout the document; subclause 5.9 “ Reaction to fire” updated to

20、product profile; a specific codification letter is used for each performance; a fourth performance level has been added to Tables 4 and 8 (elongation), Tables 5 and 9 (residual deformation); creation of a new Clause 7, Information provided by the coated fabric producer; addition of subclause A.8 “Te
21、st report”; Annex C has been deleted and references to this annex replaced by reference to EN 15977. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
22、Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the Un
23、ited Kingdom. BS EN 15619:2014EN 15619:2014 (E) 5 Introduction The purpose of this European Standard is to specify the characteristics, the requirements and the test methods for coated fabrics intended for temporary structure and tents. Particular care has been taken not to come in conflict with the
24、 items that have already been treated in 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 coa
25、ted 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 (level F1, F2, F3, for
26、 examples) for each characteristic or T1, T2, T3, T4 for the fire behaviour. This allows choice of the appropriate level for each characteristic and thus enables the composition of a “product profile”, adapted to each specific type of use. This means, for example, that for small tents exposed to low
27、 wind and snow loads but high exposition to sun light, a mechanical resistance level F3may be required combined with a colour fastness level C1. This European Standard specifies requirements which are useful for design, calculation, manufacture, installation, maintenance, operation, examination and
28、testing of coated fabric. The informative Annex D gives recommendations regarding the assessment of conformity of the production. The informative Annex C gives recommendations regarding the weld resistance. BS EN 15619:2014EN 15619:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characterist
29、ics, 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 documents, in whole or in part, ar

38、producer or a technical specification) of the product parameters and, if appropriate, of the final use parameters for which the specified characteristics do not change (do not deteriorate) Note 1 to entry: The test results obtained from any one product within the family are valid for all other produ
39、cts within the family. 4 General description of coated fabrics intended for tents The yarns are in most cases woven into fabrics (some could be based on warp-knitted fabrics1). Coatings on one or both sides guarantee the integrity, contribute to the protection of the fabric against mechanical damage
40、, atmospheric influence, and also against damage caused by animals, plant, and chemical agents. Coatings may be covered by a top coating providing additional protection of the surface against soiling and discoloration. Key 1 top coating 2 fabric 3 coating Figure 1 Schema of a cross section of a wove
41、n fabric coated on both sides 1) In the cases of warp-knitted fabrics, the requirements of the Tables 1 to10 remain identical, “warp“ meaning the warp direction and “weft“ meaning the course direction. BS EN 15619:2014EN 15619:2014 (E) 8 5 Characteristics relating to coated fabrics 5.1 Mass per unit
42、 area The mass per unit area of the coated fabric shall be measured in accordance with EN ISO 2286-2. 5.2 Tensile mechanical behaviour Tensile strength shall be measured according to method 1 of EN ISO 1421. Tensile properties measured by means of EN ISO 1421 monoaxial tensile test in warp and weft
43、direction are most of the time sufficient for design. 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. 5.4 Coating adhesion
44、 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
45、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 EN 15977. For tents exposed
46、 to elevated temperatures during their use, an optional test is proposed according to EN 15977:2011 including a heat exposure (Clause 7) 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
47、 the grey scale and the specimens exposed for 2 000 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
48、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 membr
49、ane. The coated fabric producer shall ensure that the coated fabric is treated with adapted treatment or sufficiently resistant. This property shall be tested 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 during usage. Appearance can be inspected visually or by microscopy. BS EN 15619:2014EN 15619:2014 (E) 9 The possible inspection items are: a)
