What the source establishes
ACT treats abrasion and physical properties as separate performance categories. Its general guidance does not provide a pass mark for contact with a particular hook tape on a removable cover.
At the cutting table
Build a hidden tab and an exposed tab with the same tape. Open each the agreed number of times, keeping the stitch and backing constant. Inspect both the brushed face and the loose yarns beside the seam.
The buying decision
ACT treats abrasion and physical properties as separate performance categories. Its general guidance does not provide a pass mark for contact with a particular hook tape on a removable cover.
Damage concentrated beside the fastener may be avoidable by relocating the closure or covering the edge. Broad rubbing across the face is a separate issue.
Ask the upholsterer to retain the approved fastening detail and the tested fabric strip with the production notes.
