Solution

Quality And Compliance

Underwear and lingerie are subject to substance regulations in the United States and European Union markets. Quality control and compliance are handled as one process, not two.

Process

How This Programme Runs

01

Material approval

Lab dips, fabric swatches, print strike offs, pre production sample, label sample and packaging sample all approved before bulk starts.

02

Material testing

Fabric weight, fabric composition, colour fastness, light fastness and saliva colour fastness.

03

Inline inspection

The QC team inspects during production to catch mistakes and delays while they are still fixable.

04

Final inspection

Inspection to AQL covering fabric weight, fabric colours, print, sizes, labels and packaging.

05

Shipment sample

A sample from the finished goods is sent so you can check the final product directly.

06

Compliance testing

REACH or FHSA testing through SGS, BV or TUV where the destination market requires it.

What It Solves

The Problems This Programme Removes

Late discovery

Inline inspection finds problems during production rather than after the goods are boxed.

Regulatory exposure

REACH and FHSA compliance is planned into the material approval stage, not bolted on at the end.

Colour failures

Physical lab dips and strike offs instead of screen approvals.

Buyer paperwork

Test reports and audit certificates supplied for your buyer file.

Questions

Quality And Compliance FAQ

What inspection standard do you use?
AQL. Inspection items normally include fabric weight, fabric colours, print, sizes, labels and packaging.
Which laboratories do you use?
SGS, BV and TUV. Which one depends on your buyer’s nominated lab and the destination market.
What is tested on the materials?
Fabric weight, fabric composition, colour fastness, light fastness and saliva colour fastness. Saliva fastness matters most on childrenswear.
Can I use my own third party inspector?
Yes. You can inspect yourself, use your sourcing agent, or nominate a third party such as SGS or BV.
Do I see the goods before they ship?
Yes. A shipment sample is sent so you can check the final goods directly rather than relying on a report alone.
