Agree whether the test concerns the laminate, sealed seams or the complete jacket before setting acceptance criteria. Identify the selected material, specimen or garment configuration, conditioning and any care treatment. Review test results within that scope; a fabric result alone does not establish the performance of the hood, closures and sewn assembly. Retain the approved test plan with the product specification.
