1. SCOPE 1.1 These requirements apply to the performance in flame-exposure tests of flameresistant
fabrics of natural, synthetic, or combinations of natural and synthetic fibres, or plastic
films intended for such use as tents, awnings, draperies, or decorations. The flame resistance of
the fabric or film may be inherent in the material used or may be the result of chemical treatment
to retard ignition and spread of flame. 1.2 These requirements are not intended to apply to fabrics and films to be used for
clothing nor to materials to be applied to surfaces of building or backing materials as interior
finishes.
