Fabric Inspection Guidelines
Fabric inspection focuses on fault/defect rate color, end to end and edge to middle shading, hand/handle, and appearance. The client will select the appropriate fault rate and standard to determine the acceptance of each shipment. This will minimize the quantity of panels or garments rejected for fabric faults, thereby ensuring the quality of the finished goods.

Fabric Sampling Plan
The following sampling plan lists the minimum quantity of fabric for each pattern, colorway, or
print, which must be inspected. All rolls to be sampled will be randomly selected by the inspector.
Once a roll has been selected, no adjustments will be made.
SAMPLE PLAN
| Lot Size Yards | Inspection Yards | Lots Size Meters | Inspection Meters | Percentage of Total Lot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2,500 | not less than 500 | 0 – 2,300 | not less than 460 | 20% |
| 2,501 – 5,000 | 251 – 500 | 2,301 – 4500 | 230 – 450 | 10% |
| 5,001 – 20,000 | 400 – 1,600 | 4,501 – 18,300 | 360 – 1465 | 8% |
| 20,001 – 30,000 | 1,200 – 1,800 | 18,301 – 27,400 | 1,100 – 1,645 | 6% |
All inspected rolls will be identified with an inspection tag. This tag may not be removed by
anyone prior to the production cutting.
Fabric Inspection Documentation
To ensure proper documentation of the Inspection report the following should be correctly recorded.
- Mill Name
- Fabric P.O. Number
- Mill / Supplier roll number
- Roll length
- Ticketed
- Actual
- Difference between ticketed and actual
- Recorded cuttable width
- 1st Measurement – At the start of the roll at least 2 meters or yards into the roll
- 2nd Measurement – In the middle of the roll
- 3rd Measurement – At the end of the roll at least 2 meters or yards before the end
- Number of defect points per roll by 4 point system
- Defect result calculated by a roll in points/ 100 Sq Yards/Meters
- Inspector comments if any per roll
GOOD WEBSITE,THANKYOU
I have 2 questions:
1. many factories use the formular: total defect points/inspected yards*100. Is there the difference btw them
2. If found 20 defect points, will fabric supplier accept 20% of defect rate to replacement fabric
web site is very useful and knowledge provoking
