To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in response to your recent question concerning FPA -701
Large Scale.
As of May, 1989, we began to routinely test and certify Our Tent Products,
(Om trade name WeatherSpaa), to meet or exceed the NFPA-701 Large Scale. It
was first tested by an independent lab, the GGvniarlc Organization in
Bellmore, New York (Test Report #84234.) Folloving the Govmark
Testing, we continued the testing here in our tab.
Often at issue is how does California State Fir,_- Marshal (CSFM) conapaxe to
NT -FPA -701 Large Scale. As you will see, by the followhig comparisons, CSFM
Is not much different than NFPA-701 Large Scale. The differences between the
Two are in the test results, not the procedures (enclosed are copies of each testing
Procedures.)
NFPA-701 Large CSFM Small
Char length 10" max 6" inax
After flaine 2.0 see 2.0 see
As yo -Li can,. see, the CSFM Sinall Scale char length is stricter than SIIPA-701 Large
Scale and the after flames are identical.
Another question that fire marshals ask concerns how the fabric is actually flame
retardant. Our fabrics are formulated flame retardant from the begira-Ling of the
manufacturing process. (Flarne retardant chemicals are in the vinyl arld adhesives.) Tlie
fabrics are neither sprayed nor coated after manufacturing. The flame retardant
properties cannot be dirninished by washing, usage, or aging of the fabric.14
I hope this information helps you and the fire marshal.
