Prenez note que Santé Canada nous a avisé que les caches camo autant que les abris d'hiver noir pour la pêche blanche requiert d'être fabriqué à partie de matériel ignifuge (voir le communiqué suivant de Santé Canada).
Soyez donc pas surpris de voir très peux de modèle d'abri camo cette année dans les magasins. Les manufacturiers d'abri camo ne sont pas pret a faire les changements nécessaires pour être conforme avec les lois canadiennes.
Par contre la compagnie Eastman Outfitters produita 3 modèles conforme au loi Canadienne cette année.
Voici le communiqué émis par Santé Canada.

As discussed, it is Health Canada's position that hunting blinds are subject to the Hazardous Products (Tents) Regulations, based on their physical characteristics and intended use. Hunting blinds are meant for temporary human shelter and usually consist of flexible or pliable material attached to a frame which encloses the user. The potential for these pliable materials to ignite from sources such as heaters, campfires, torches and candles is the same as for tents. The flame retardant qualities of the material as well as the information and warning labelling must be consistent with that required by the Tents Regulations. You may view these at:

".
Please make sure that your suppliers are aware that "no-see um netting" or other mesh materials weighing 50 g/square metre, or less, must also meet the flammability requirements. Please find below a letter (2005-11-16) explaining Health Canada's position regarding acceptable flammability testing methodology and the industry guide to tents:
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if clarification is required.
