🧵 1. Preparation for Final Inspection
a. Inspection Environment Setup
- Ensure the inspection area is clean, well-lit, and free from dust.
- Use a flat inspection table with white or neutral-colored surface.
- Calibrate measuring tools (tape, ruler, etc.) if needed.
b. Documentation & Tools
- Prepare the specification sheet, packing list, AQL chart, and inspection checklist.
- Tools: Measuring tape, defect tags, barcode scanner, camera (for defect documentation), and sample reference garment.
👕👖 2. Sampling Procedure
a. Determine Sample Size
- Use AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) standards (e.g., AQL 2.5).
- Based on the shipment quantity, determine how many pieces to inspect.
b. Random Sampling
- Select garments randomly from different cartons and production lots.
- Ensure a mix of sizes and colors are included.
🔍 3. Visual Inspection
a. Fabric Quality
- Check for:
- Color shading or mismatches
- Holes, snags, or pilling
- Print or embroidery defects
b. Stitching & Construction
- Inspect:
- Seam alignment and strength
- Loose threads or skipped stitches
- Symmetry of panels and pockets
c. Trims & Accessories
- Verify:
- Buttons, zippers, rivets are secure and functional
- Labels (brand, size, care) are correct and properly attached
- No sharp edges or broken parts
📏 4. Measurement Check
a. Refer to Spec Sheet
- Compare actual garment measurements with the approved specification.
b. Key Measurements
- Shirt: Chest, length, sleeve length, shoulder width, collar.
- Pant: Waist, hip, inseam, out seam, rise, leg opening.
c. Tolerance Check
- Allowable deviation (e.g., ±0.5 inch) must be within the specified tolerance range.
🧪 5. Functional & Performance Tests
a. Zipper Test
- Open and close multiple times to ensure smooth operation.
b. Button Pull Test
- Apply light force to check attachment strength.
c. Stretch & Recovery Test
- For stretch fabrics, check elasticity and recovery.
d. Seam Strength Test
- Gently pull seams to check for durability and secure stitching.
🏷️ 6. Labeling & Packaging Check
a. Label Verification
- Confirm:
- Brand, size, care, and country of origin labels are correct.
- Labels are securely attached and legible.
b. Hangtags & Barcodes
- Ensure hangtags are present and correctly placed.
- Scan barcodes to verify accuracy.
c. Folding & Packing
- Check:
- Proper folding method
- Correct polybag size and sealing
- Carton labeling and packing list match
📝 7. Documentation & Reporting
a. Inspection Report
- Record:
- Number of pieces inspected
- Types and number of defects
- Measurements and test results
- Photos of major defects (if any)
b. Defect Classification
- Critical: Safety or legal compliance issues (e.g., broken needle in garment)
- Major: Affects function or appearance (e.g., broken zipper)
- Minor: Small issues not affecting usability (e.g., loose thread)
✅ 8. Final Decision
a. Pass
- If defects are within AQL limits, approve the lot for shipment.
b. Fail
- If defects exceed AQL limits, reject the lot.
- Notify production for rework or replacement.
