This list is not exhaustive. The accounting of the faults must be calculated according to the method of the “ AUTOGARMENT points ” through duplicate faults or through the number of faults. A fault must be considered with regard to its enormity and its impact on the use of the manufactured product. An evaluation of the faults will be made in accordance with  the table below.

Length of the fault Demerite points
Less than 3 cm 1 point
between 3 and 20 cm 2 points
between 20 and 50 cm 3 points
More than  50 cm and cuts 4 points

The maximum number of demerite points per linear metre is fixed at 4, whatever the number of faults.

There can not be

  • – a 4 point fault in the first 3 and the last three metres of the length
  • – 3 and 4 point faults within three metres of each other
  • – a hole of more than 3cm (= 4 demerite points)
  • – more than 2 holes per 50 metre length
  • – any fault meriting 4 demerite points which continues through 1.5metres.
