WHY DQC ?
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.
WE KNOW MORE THAN YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Inspection is NOT just "having a look". It requires professional identification, analysis, and judgment to detect not only visual defects but also potential risks. Such work demands a full set of professional skills, techniques, and experience.
With long-term experience in fabric inspection and regular engineer-led training, our inspection team is equipped with advanced professional skills, expertise, and practical knowledge - often exceeding your expectations.
Our team has in-depth knowledge of:
Fabric construction standards and fiber properties
Fabric production techniques
Defects and potential issues caused by different fiber materials
Defects and potential issues caused by different dyeing processes
Defects and potential issues caused by different finishing processes
Visual defect evaluation methods: 4-point system or 10-point system as requested
