What NEXT 17 Covers

It defines a retailer tear-testing requirement for fabrics within the NEXT supplier quality framework, based on standard tear methods.

How the Test Is Run

A fabric specimen is torn by the referenced method, and the tear strength is compared against the retailer requirement.

Why It Matters

Meeting the retailer requirement is needed for supply; the underlying test uses standard fabric tear apparatus.
