Social and facility assessment
SMETA / amfori BSCI assessment records, WRAP or equivalent facility reports when held by the shortlisted site.
Buyer due diligence
Confirm scope and evidence before commercial commitment
Share the product, destination market, and buyer standard first. We then align shortlisted capacity, evidence scope, inspection protocol, and commercial assumptions before quotation.
- Evidence reviewed per shortlisted site
- Buyer-defined inspection supported
- NDA-controlled document access
Qualification sequence
One controlled path from brief to documented requirements
The compliance review is tied to the actual product, market, shortlisted site, and purchase-order conditions—not a generic certificate pack.
- 01
Define the requirement
Product category, destination market, material claims, buyer standard, and delivery plan.
- 02
Shortlist capacity
Match category capability, process scope, available evidence, and timing before disclosure.
- 03
Review under NDA
Qualified buyers review scope-matched records through a controlled evidence workflow.
- 04
Write controls into the offer
Testing, inspection, corrective action, fees, and release gates are recorded before bulk commitment.
Controlled evidence access
Review the right record for the right site and scope
Full reports, supplier identities, worker data, and buyer-linked records are not published. After buyer qualification and NDA, available evidence is matched to the shortlisted program.
Product and chemistry
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 scope records, REACH / buyer RSL testing, and CPSIA support where applicable.
Quality and corrective action
Redacted inspection samples, defect records, corrective-action status, and reinspection evidence where available.
QC protocol
A proposed sampling plan buyers can override
The final sampling plan, defect catalogue, and release decision are agreed by product and PO. AQL is an acceptance-sampling method, not a defect-rate guarantee.
- Sampling basis
- ISO 2859-1 / ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 style normal single sampling
- Default inspection level
- General Inspection Level II unless the buyer specifies another plan
- Proposed acceptance criteria
- Critical: Ac 0 · Major AQL 2.5 · Minor AQL 4.0
- PO-specific sampling table
- Final lot size, code letter, sample size, Ac/Re values, and severity definitions confirmed per product and PO
- Typical checkpoints
- Material readiness · inline / DUPRO · final random inspection · packing release
- Independent inspection
- SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, or buyer-nominated provider quoted as a line item
- Nonconformance
- Rework, corrective action, reinspection, charging, and release authority agreed before bulk
Destination-market support
Translate the buyer brief into product-specific checks
The matrix describes testing and document support—not universal legal approval. Final obligations depend on product, material, market, economic-operator role, and contract.
EU / UK
REACH Annex XVII and buyer RSL test coordination; fibre, care, origin, and safety-document support where applicable.
US / Canada
FTC / Canadian textile and care-label support; CPSIA for children’s products and California Proposition 65 review when relevant.
Buyer-specific
OEKO-TEX scope checks, nominated laboratory protocols, retailer manuals, packaging rules, and buyer-defined restricted-substance lists.
