Start with the correct classification
ACT organises its voluntary guidance by fabric construction, intended application and environment. A woven-fabric result is not automatically the appropriate requirement for a knit article. This is a technical classification principle, not a claim that all knitted fabrics behave alike or that a pictured sample has a particular construction.
Prepare a three-column specification
Our recommendation is to ask the supplier to confirm the actual construction, the intended upholstery application and the indoor or outdoor setting. Add the face material and any backing as separate identifiers. If a quotation uses only a visual description such as chenille-look, resolve the construction before selecting test methods.
Keep approval tied to the reference
Ask for reports that identify the offered reference and tested assembly. Do not transfer a result from a different backing or finish without written support. The MPY0447 photograph is a visual texture reference; its construction and performance must be confirmed in the enquiry. Request the relevant sample and technical data rather than infer either from its SKU.
