This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for awnings for leisure accommodation vehicles. It applies to the different types of awnings described in Clause 4. This International Standard does not apply to sun awnings as defined in 3.4. Requirements concerning flame retardant finishing of the fabric could not be included in this International Standard because of known disadvantages of that finishing in other respects. Manufacturers who want to inform the consumer about that characteristic may mark the awning in accordance with ISO 10966:2005, 4.14.
