GARMENT INSPECTION STANDARD

GARMENT INSPECTION STANDARD

Here we introduce our inspection standard with example of Pre-Shipment Inspection (Final Random Inspection).

 

SAMPLING STANDARD
We randomly take samples from finished products according to ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (MIL-STD-105E).
This is a worldwide sampling standard, and it's same as the standard of BS6001, DIN40080 or ISO2859.

 

DEFECTS CLASSIFICATION
All of product defects are classified as Critical defect, Major defect, and Minor defect.

CRITICAL DEFECT - Critical Defect is defined anything potentially harmful to the product user. A critical defect can be, but is not limited to sharp points/ edges, broken needles, loose components or other foreign items which are potentially harmful.

 

MAJOR DEFECT - Major defect is a serious defect, which in its present condition, affects appearance, performance or durability to such a degree that a customer would not buy the product if they saw the defect; or the defect will result in dissatisfaction when first worn or after one washing. Any key fit measurement that jumps one size or grade is counted as a major defect.

 

MINOR DEFECT - Minor defect is a serious departure from client’s construction specifications and quality standards that affects its appearance or durability and, therefore, reduces its salability at full price.

 

AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) STANDARD
Critical defect: AQL = 0
Major defect: AQL = 2.5
Minor defect: AQL= 4.0
(Unless others specified by customer)

INSPECTION PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Inspection performance standard is varied for different product construction, such as bedding, pillows, throws, table cloths, towels, and down products.

Inspection performance standard includes different contents for different end use of fabrics, trims & accessories, or labels. For example, labels should meet the following standard:

A product must be labeled with:

• Brand Name
• Fiber Content
• Country of Origin
• RN# or WPL#; or the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor
• Care instruction

A Care Label should be:

• Care label contents must meet all requirements of the Care Labeling

Rule. Provision of practical care instructions is required.

• All care labels must remain legible and securely attached through the

laundering cycle and for the life of the garment.

• Will be determined by the testing lab upon completion of all colorways

of actual production sample.

• All trims and hardware must be able to withstand selected care method.
