Full title and description

ISO 10966-2011 — Sports and recreational equipment — Fabrics for awnings — Specification. This International Standard specifies the principal material characteristics required for woven fabrics intended for awnings; the requirements are arranged in two performance levels (A and B) to reflect differing durability and climatic needs.

Abstract

ISO 10966:2011 defines the most important material characteristics for awning fabrics (and may be applied to other fabric types). Requirements are split into level A (for long-term or severe use under wind and weather) and level B (for less severe use). The standard sets minimum material performance criteria to help manufacturers, purchasers and test laboratories assess suitability for intended use.

Scope

Specifies the principal material characteristics required for woven fabrics used for awnings (including residential, touring and snow awnings) and is applicable to other fabric types where appropriate. To reflect varying user expectations and environmental stresses, material requirements are given at two levels: A (for severe or long‑term use) and B (for less severe use).

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of performance levels A and B to match expected service conditions (durability, wind and weather exposure).
• Material property requirements for woven awning fabrics (principal characteristics and minimum performance criteria).
• Reference to appropriate test methods for assessing fabric performance (breaking strength, tear strength, water‑resistance and colour fastness among commonly assessed properties).
• Guidance for applying the specification to different types of awnings and related outdoor textile applications.

Typical subject keywords and test-related themes associated with this standard include: awnings, tents, coated fabrics, water-resistance tests, breaking strength, tear tests and colour fastness as shown in national catalogue records and standards listings.

Typical use and users

Used by textile and awning manufacturers, product designers, test laboratories, procurement/specification teams, certification bodies and standards committees to define and verify material performance for awnings and similar outdoor fabric applications.

Related standards

ISO 10966:2011 is linked to other ISO documents on tents and awnings. Key related standards include ISO 5912 (camping tents) and the earlier/replaced editions of ISO 10966 (2005, 1994). Awnings and caravan awning test/requirement standards such as ISO 8936/8937 family are also relevant for complete product-level requirements and test methods. Note that ISO/TC 83 (Sports and recreational equipment) is the responsible committee for these texts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10966:2011 is an International Standard that specified material performance requirements for woven fabrics for awnings, arranged in two performance levels to suit different usage conditions.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the principal material characteristics and minimum performance criteria for awning fabrics (examples include strength, tear resistance, water resistance and colour fastness), organized into level A (more demanding) and level B (less demanding) requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of awnings and outdoor textile products, test laboratories, product specifiers and procurement teams, as well as standards committees and conformity assessment bodies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10966:2011 is listed as Withdrawn by ISO. Parts of the subject matter have been incorporated into related tent/awning standards (for example ISO 5912 and other ISO/TC 83 publications); users should check the current ISO/TC 83 standards (such as later editions of ISO 5912 and updated awning/tent standards) for the presently applicable requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it forms part of the ISO/TC 83 suite of standards addressing sports and recreational equipment, camping tents and awnings and is linked historically to earlier and later tent and awning standards (ISO 10966 earlier editions, ISO 5912, ISO 8936/8937 family).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Awnings, fabrics, tents, performance levels, breaking strength, tear strength, water resistance, colour fastness, outdoor textiles, ISO 10966.
