11、68. It supersedes BS 5576 : 1985, which is withdrawn. This British Standard specifies requirements for the fire safety of camping tents, awnings, trailer tents and caravan awnings. Tent fires are rare, but when they do occur, they can be serious and some have resulted in fatalities. This revision st
12、ates flammability requirements for cooking areas and provides for clear safety advice to be permanently attached in a position where it can be easily seen by users. This advice now requires manufacturers who have included fire-retardant materials in tent construction to declare the class achieved, b
13、ased on the classification system in BS 6341 : 1983. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 and 2, an inside back cover and a back cover. Lice
