Many fabric suppliers can provide existing third-party testing reports when available, and additional testing can often be arranged according to the buyer’s requirements.
However, buyers should check whether an existing report is actually applicable to the specific fabric and order.
Important points include:
- Fabric/product identification
- Test date
- Test standard
- Test items
- Test results
- Laboratory
- Applicable material or production batch
- Brand-specific requirements
- Report validity or acceptance requirements
If the existing report does not cover the buyer’s requirements, additional testing may be necessary.
For international fashion brands, it is best to communicate testing requirements before bulk production.
