The document outlines the importance of fabric inspection in garment manufacturing, emphasizing its role in identifying defects to ensure quality and minimize rejects. It describes two main inspection systems: the 4-point system and the 10-point system, detailing their grading criteria and procedures. The findings highlight that effective fabric inspection leads to improved quality, reduced manufacturing losses, and the maintenance of desired fabric characteristics.

3. Introduction
Fabric Inspection ?
 Fabric inspection is visual Examination of the fabric
to detect fabric defects.
 To ensure the garments are produced as per the
quality expected.
 Identify the critical points where inspection should
be conducted.

4. Purpose of fabric inspection
Determine the quality and acceptability for garments.
Fabric Inspection is an important aspect followed prior to garment
manufacturing to avoid rejects due to fabric quality and facing
with unexpected loss in manufacturing.
Fabric inspection is done for fault/defect rate, fabric construction.
To maintain end to end or edge to edge shading, color.
To length/width, print defect and appearance.
To ensures to minimize the rejection of rejected garments.

7. Introduction
Fabric inspection systems:
4- Points
System
10- Points
System

8. Description
 This standard is issued by the American Society for Testing and
Materials with reference to the designation ASTM D5430-04.
 Fabric defects are assigned points based on the length or width of the
defect as per the following classification:
4- Points System
Points Defect Sizes
1 3 Inch or Less
2 Over 3 but not over 6
inches
3 Over 6 but not over 9
inches
4 Over 9 onched

9. Description
4- Points System
1. Assign no more than a total of 4 points to any one linear yard of
fabric, regardless of the number or size of the detected individual
defects

10. Description
4- Points System
2. Assign 4 points to each consecutive linear yard in which a
continuous running defect exceeds 9inches.

11. Description
4- Points System
3. Assign 4 points to each linear yard of fabric where the cuttable width is less
than the minimum specified.

12. Description
4- Points System
4. Assign 4-points to each splice or full width defect

13. Description
10- Points System
The 10 point method is a point per fault system, which gives a measurable guide to
quality grading per roll. In 1955s “Ten Points” piece goods evaluation was adapted by
the Textile Distributors and National Federation of Textiles.

14. Warp Defects Weft Defects
Size of defects Penalty
Up to 1 inch 1 point
1 to 5 inches 3 points
5 to 10 inches 5 points
10 to 36 inches 10 points
Size of defects Penalty
Up to 1 inch 1 point
1 to 5 inches 3 points
5 inches to half the width 5 points
Half to Full width 10 points
Description
The system assigns penalty points to each defect as per
following guideline,

15. Description
10- Points System
Working Procedure :
Under the 10 Points system, a piece is graded as “First”, if the total
penalty points do not exceed the total yardage of the piece.
In case of a fabric wider than 50 inches; “First” quality is considered
if the total defect points do not exceed the total yardage of the
fabric.
A piece is graded as “Second” if the total penalty points exceed the
total yardage of the piece.

16. Description
10- Points System
Basic Grading Criteria :
If total defect points < yardage of the fabric
piece inspected, then the fabric is given the
‘First’ or ‘A’ Grade.
If total defects points > fabric yardage then
the fabric is graded as ‘Second’ or ‘B’ Grade.

17. Findings
 Get expected quality and acceptability for
garments
 Reduced rejects
 Reduced unexpected loss in manufacturing
 Find fault/defect rate
 Get desired fabric construction
 Uniform edge to edge shading and color
 Get desired length/width and appearance.
 Minimized the rejection of rejected
garments.

18. Conclusion
Apparel manufacturers inspect the fabric stock upon arrival, so
that any fabric irregularities are caught early in the production
process. After identification of fabric defects, a system needs to
be followed to grade the defects to ascertain its acceptance or
rejection. 4-Point fabric inspection system is mostly used in textile
industry around the globe now
So the fabric inspection system is very important in manufacturing
process for get desirable quality of garments.
