Most defects arising in the production process of textiles and apparels are detected by inspectors. In order to promote consistent inspection decision from factory inspector, we recommend our factory to provide adequate inspector training in recognizing fabric and apparel defects and cause.

Under the new concept of Auto  Sportswear Quality Assurance program and partnership with our factories, Definition and Classification of Defects are developed and established as follows: Read more about Non-Contact Portable Spectrometer

Defect Definition:

Critical Defects:  A defect that fails to meet mandatory regulations and/ or affects the safety of the consumer.  Results in automatic rejection of inspection.

Major Defects: Any defect severe enough that it would result in customer dissatisfaction, or generally classify the garment as a second, or of less quality.

Minor Defects: An imperfection that may or may not cause a second, depending upon it’s location in the finished garment.

Apparel Defect Classification

A simplified list of defects, explanation and the judgments are used in classifying apparel defects found in final inspection.

Fabric defects Classification

A fundamental list of defects, explanation and the judgments are used in classifying both woven and knit fabric defects.

Factory Quality Control Manager should offer continuous inspection training with showing written standards, using sample fabric standards / defective garment samples and photograph.
