WHAT TO BE INSPECTED ?


Fabric inspection normally covers the following items:

  • Quantity verification of ready fabrics

  • Shipping marks, labels, inventory stickers and packing method

  • Conformance of quality to technical parameters and specifications

  • Cuttable width, and actual roll length vs. label length

  • Fabric GSM (actual weight per unit area)

  • Color shading inspection: side-center-side, end-to-end, roll-to-roll and lot-to-lot

  • Hand feel assessment

  • Abnormal odor check

  • Visual defect inspection in accordance with the 4-Point System

After inspection:

  • We will calculate defect points and grade the fabric rolls / pieces accordingly.

  • You will receive a professional inspection report with digital photos.

INSPECTION METHOD - FOUR-POINT SYSTEM


DQC adopts Four-Point System as a standardized methods for fabric Visually Inspecting and Grading, unless others method (such as Ten-Point System) required.


Four-Point System, as a standard under ASTM D5430, has received widest acceptance in fabric inspection due to its practical, impartial, and worldwide recognized. In four-point system‍‍, defect in both warp or fill direction is assigned points under the following criteria:

1 point     –   Defects              ≤ 3″

2 points   –   Defects              > 3″   ≤ 6″

3 points   –   Defects              > 6″   ≤ 9″

4 points   –   Defects              > 9″


Any defect of a continuous nature shall be assigned four points for each yard in which it occurs. Severe defects are assigned the maximum four points for each yard in which they occur. Example: regardless of size, hole would be penalized four points.
