1/ In case of dispute, the ASTM method prevails.
2/ The cotton content shall be calculated as follows:
Cotton content, percent = R/S x 100
R = Weight of residual fibers
S = Weight of dry desized specimen
3/ The color and appearance of the camouflage printed cloth shall match the standard sample
when viewed using the AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Option A, with sources simulating
artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color temperature of 7500 (+ 200)°K illumination of
100 (+ 20) foot candles, and shall be a good match to the standard sample under incandescent
