What Standards or Certifications Should Be Considered for PVC Coated Fabric?

PVC coated fabric is widely used in industrial, advertising, architectural, and recreational applications. Ensuring the right standards and certifications is essential for safety, durability, and compliance with international markets.

1. REACH Compliance

Our PVC materials can meet REACH testing for 253 items, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals and compliant with European regulations.

2. Phthalate-Free Certification

Available in 6P or 8P phthalate-free formulations, suitable for inflatable products, swimming pool liners, indoor applications, and flexible tanks.

3. Fire Retardancy Standards

We can provide fire-retardant PVC according to customer requirements, ensuring safety for indoor and public applications.
Common fire-retardant standards include:

NFPA 701 (USA)
EN 13501-1 B (EU)
B1/B2 DIN 4102 (Germany)
M1/M2 (French)

4. UV Resistance & Weathering Tests

UV protection can be customized to meet 1–5 years outdoor exposure depending on the application—tents, truck covers, tensile structures, or flexible tanks.
UV testing standards include:

ISO 4892-3: Plastics – Exposure to Xenon arc lamps
ASTM G154: Standard practice for fluorescent UV exposure of nonmetallic materials
DIN EN 12224: PVC coated fabrics – Weathering test for outdoor use

These tests ensure long-term color retention, tensile strength, and waterproof performance under UV exposure.
