7. Methods of Quality Control
Basically, two methods are used for garments quality control –
a) Testing
b) Inspection.
8. Apparel Industry
Clothing industry or garment industry summarizes the types of trade and industry along the
production and life chain of clothing and garments, starting with the textile industry (producers
of cotton, wool, fur, and synthetic fiber) via fashion industry to fashion retailers up to trade
with second-hand clothes and textile recycling.
9. Textile Quality Control Experts
Quality Control: AQM performs quality control and inspection services for different
customers from all over the world. Using international standards such as ISO 2859.
Conformity: The QC checks the conformity of the product (design, colors, raw material…)
with the Pre-Production Sample (PPS) and other technical files.
Quality: Our QC checks for defects (fabric defects, colors defects, accessories and label
defects, manufacturing defects) and classifies them accordingly.
Measurement: Following the measurement chart, our QC checks the measures for each size of
the product.
Packaging: Our QC checks the quantity of cartons, size of cartons, their weight, shipping
11. Quality Control In Garment Manufacturing Process
QUALITY INSPECTION AND CONTROL IN RMG INDUSTRY:
In Sample making section
In- Marker making section
Inspection in fabric spreading section
Inspection in fabric cutting section
Inspection in fabric sewing section
Inspection in pressing & Finishing section
12. Quality Control In Sample Section
• Maintaining buyer Specification standard
• Checking the sample and its different issues
• Measurements checking
• Fabric color, GSM, Fastness etc. properties required checking
• SPI and another parameter checking
22. Quality Control System:
1. On- line quality control system
• Raw Material Control
• Process Control
• Laboratory
• Lab Line
23. Quality Control System
2. Off Line Quality Control System
Physical Tests:
• GSM test,
• Shrinkage test,
• Tensile strength,
• Abrasion resistance,
• Pilling resistance,
• Button Strength Testing etc.
24. Chemical Tests
• Color Fastness to washing,
• Color Fastness to lighting,
• Color Fastness to heat,
• Color Fastness to Chlorinated water,
• Color Fastness to water spotting,
• Color Fastness to perspiration,
• Color Fastness to Seawater,
• Fiber analysis,
• PH test.
25. Quality of Fabric
Quality is very important for all types of fabric and textiles. There are some
important topics given blow about quality of fabric..........
26. Quality Parameters of Woven Fabrics
1. Length, Width, Thickness.
2. Weight per unit area, Weight per unit length.
3. Tensile strength. Tearing strength.
4. Threads per inch of fabric: Ends per inch, Picks per inch.
5. Yarn count: Warp count, Weft count.
6. Crimp: Warp crimp, Weft crimp.
7. Handle: Stiffness, Drape.
8. Air permeability.
9. Abrasion resistance.
10. Water resistance.
11. Shrinkages.
12.Different fastness properties: Fastness to light, Fastness to wash, Fastness to perspiration,
Fastness to Rubbing.
27. Quality Parameters of Knitted Fabrics
• Strength and extensibility.
• Course density.
• Wales density.
• Lop length.
• Elasticity.
• Deformation.
• Grams per square meter (G.S.M)
• Yarn count.
• Design.
28. Quality Parameters of Non-woven Fabrics
• Strength and extensibility of fabric.
• Weight.
• Thickness.
• Air permeability.
• Crease resistance.
• Stability of washing.
• Stability of dry cleaning.
• Dimensional stability.
• Elasticity.
29. Some Main Quality Aspects For Export Basis
Below are some of the main quality aspects that are taken into consideration for garment
manufacturing for export basis:
• Overall look of the garment
• Right formation of the garment
• Feel and fall of the garment
• Physical properties
• Color fastness of the garment
