Why do you have to buy flame-retardant tents for campsites?
1. Compulsory requirements
China's "Combustion Performance Requirements for Flame-retardant Products and Components in Public Places" (GB 20286) clearly stipulates: **Camping campsites are crowded places**, and their fabric materials (including tents) must meet B1 grade (flame-retardant) and above standards.
European and American campsite certifications (such as ACA) also require tents to pass CPAI-84 (American Camping Association Flame Retardant Standard) or EN 13501 (EU Flame Retardant Standard).

2. Reality of fire risk
Three major causes of tent fires:
Campers use open flames (barbecues, candles)
Electrical short circuits (power banks, electric blankets)
External fire sources spread (campfires, forest fires)
Non-flame-retardant tents burn very quickly: ordinary polyester tents burn completely within 10 seconds of fire, and flame-retardant tents can delay burning for ≥2 minutes (buying critical time for escape)

The tent tarpaulins in our factory are all flame retardant and have been tested, so please feel free to buy.
