Apparel Testing and Textile Testing : Intertek

no@spam.com (Maxamillion Blick) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:56:41 MST

If you work in the fashion industry, you are well aware that the quality of garments is extremely important. Therefore, our quality assurance policies must be strict and well disiplined. There is only way way to truly be certain that the quality of your clothing and fabric is meeting the desired standards. All apparel manufacturers should do "quality testing".

So, now that we are in agreement that testing is a requirement, we must decide where to conduct testing. Many manufacturers do their own private testing. However, Apparel Search suggests using third party testing facilities. The reason that Apparel Search suggests using third party resources is that "testing" is there primary business. In addition, because the test "result" does not effect their business directly, they can be very fair in regard to the testing result. They are not bias in any way.

Flocking is a decorative detail in clothing in which raised pieces of cloth are applied to the surface in a particular pattern by using an adhesive.
