Inspection Criteria of Stitched Garments and Textiles

We do random inspection based on the internationally recognised statistical random sampling technique, commonly known as ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 / BS 6001 / DIN 40080 / ISO 2859 / NF X 06-022. We verify quantity, workmanship, function, colour, size specifications and packing details, all with a view to ensure that the contracted specifications are met.

Random Inspection covers:

  • Quantity Check against PO/ Packing List.
  • Packing & assortment check (including export carton packing, carton marking & inner carton packing).
  • Product packaging and assortment check.
  • All accessories.
  • Product conformity check (including style, material, Colour, hand feel (against client’s reference sample).

  • GSM or Piece weight what ever if required.
  • Needle detection check ( Machine available at site)

Random sampling inspection method: 

ANSI/ASQ Z1.4/BS 6001/DIN 40080/ ISO2859/NF X 06-022 It is a random sampling inspection method by attributes based on the mathematical theory of probability. This method provides the number of samples to be inspected in a given lot/shipment size. It also provides the specific criteria for acceptance or rejection of a shipment/lot based on the number of defects found and provides a fair assessment to both buyers and sellers of product quality.

Internationally most widely followed AQL – Accept or Reject criteria for consumer goods is: critical 0.0, Major 2.5 and Minor 4.0 defectives for consumer goods. However, the customers are free to choose any other AQL depending upon the product category, as they feel appropriate.

Note:

  1. The above AQL’s are applied by Marlayz Brüder unless specified otherwise by the Inspection Protocol or client specification. Refer to section “Defects and Defectives” of this document for additional information; unless the client provides a specific AQL for Critical defects, no Critical defects will be allowed.

  2. The standard practice is 0% tolerance for Critical defects, i.e. AQL for Critical = Not Allowed.
