MAWP is the least of the values found for maximum allowable working pressure for any of
the essential parts of the vessel, ajusted for any difference in static head that may exist
between the part considered and the top of the vessel.

If MAWP calculations are part of the Code calculation report for vessel design then the
hydrostatic test should be based on that value and the calculated MAWP provided on
the nameplate/data report.
