Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5912 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and recreational equipment, Subcommittee
SC 2, Camping tents.
This fourth edition replaces part of ISO 10966:2005 and cancels and replaces the third edition of this International
Standard (ISO 5912:2003), which has been technically revised to incorporate the following changes:
a) inclusion of revised requirements for fabric for camping tents from ISO 10966:2005;
b) deletion of requirements on stability performance;
c) introduction of three levels of performance for camping tents;
d) clarification of consumer information regarding ventilation;
e) change of test method for flame retardant fabric;
f) rain test brought into line with industry best practice;
g) addition of requirements to address risks related to new styles of tents which include squeeze and sheer points;
h) modification of size of sleeping areas.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
The principal objective of this International Standard is to simplify it from previous editions by deleting
requirements and test methods which did not prove to be reproducible, or which do not contribute to the safety
and quality performance of camping tents.
One such deleted parameter was stability performance. Stability was considered to be an important issue
for the performance of a tent, however there was no reproducible test method available when developing this
International Standard. When a suitable test or simulated test can be developed, it is the intention of ISO/TC 83
to include a more specific requirement in this International Standard.
For marquees and larger textile structures, see Reference [3].
0.2 Environmental considerations
Every product affects the environment in the course of its lifecycle from raw material acquisition through
production, distribution and use, to disposal. Environmental impacts are consequences of the consumption
of energy and resources and the generation of waste, as well as the emission of substances into air, water
and soil. The magnitude of the environmental impacts during the various lifecycle changes depends on a
number of choices made in the design of the product, such as the materials used, production methods, and
considerations related to maintenance and recycling. Manufacturers and distributors of camping tents should
consider the environmental impact of their product by, for example:
— avoiding the use of environmentally harmful substances;
— selecting the best available technology and techniques to reduce consumption of energy and materials;
— considering use of recycled materials for product and packaging;
— encouraging responsible end of life disposal by the user including guidance on separation and ident
