Denim jeans are wardrobe staples, but defects like fabric inconsistency, weak seams, or non-compliant chemicals can lead to recalls or customer dissatisfaction. Our inspections focus on:
Verify denim weight, elasticity, and resistance to fading/shrinkage.
Check stitching density, rivet/button strength, and zipper functionality.
Assess colorfastness (washing/rubbing), abrasion resistance, and tensile strength.
Ensure adherence to safety standards (CPSIA, REACH) and restricted substance lists (RSL).
Review fabric certifications, wash techniques, and sample approvals.
Monitor cutting, sewing, and distressing processes (e.g., sandblasting, laser treatments).
Random sampling (AQL Level II) to inspect stitching, sizing, and finishing.
Conduct tests for pH balance, formaldehyde, heavy metals, and phthalates.
Validate color retention, shrinkage rates, and seam durability after repeated washes.
Verify labeling, packaging, and barcode accuracy.
Inspectors trained in denim fabrication, washes, and industry trends.
