Abstract: This paper compares two standard systems for coated fabrics for membrane structures, namely the industry standard FZ/T 64014 — 2009 and the consortium standard T/ZZB 0135 — 2016. It turns out that the newly-established “Made in Zhejiang” consortium standard is more superior as it has more comprehensive criteria, higher requirement and stricter control.

Key words: membrane structure; coated fabric; progressiveness; comprehensiveness; stringency
