The webbing shall lie flat within the confines of the end clip. When clinched, the prongs shall be fully embedded in the webbing and the edges of the webbing shall be equal distance (±1/32 inch) from and parallel to the edges of the clip. There shall be no scratches, dents or other damage to the clips caused by the clinching process.
