Quality & Certifications

Documents you can check, not adjectives you have to trust

Certificate copies, fabric test reports and audit summaries are issued with your sourcing file. Buyers may also appoint SGS, BV, Intertek or TUV to inspect before shipment.

01 — Certificates

Certifications and audit reports

Scope, issuing body and validity are listed with each document. Copies are sent on request after we confirm your company details. All certifications cover our activewear production lines.

Document images shown here are layout placeholders. Replace them with your own scanned certificates and reports before publishing this site.

02 — Inspection

Four inspection points, from performance fabric roll to carton

Quality is checked while the order is still recoverable, not only at the end of the line. Every stage covers activewear-specific requirements including stretch recovery, seam strength, and moisture-wicking performance.

Incoming Performance Fabric Control

Every performance fabric roll is inspected on a roller machine for shading, defects, width, stretch recovery and moisture-wicking performance. Trims, zippers and labels are checked against the approved bill of materials before release to the floor.

In-Process Patrol Check

Line QC patrols each operation hourly, verifying stitch density, seam allowance (especially four-needle coverstitch and flatlock seams), stretch recovery and measurement at the first-piece stage. Defects are corrected on the line rather than at the end.

Final Activewear Inspection

Finished activewear is measured flat against the size spec, checked for workmanship, stretch recovery and compression performance, then steam finished. Full size-set measurements are recorded and shared with the buyer.

Outgoing Carton Audit

Before loading, cartons are sampled to AQL 2.5 for packing method, polybag, hangtag, barcode and carton marking. Activewear is carefully folded to preserve stretch fabric integrity. The audit report is issued with the shipping documents.

03 — Standards

The numbers behind our activewear quality promise

Objective standards we measure against on every activewear order, stated plainly so you can hold us to them.

AQL 2.5Outgoing sampling standard

Major and minor defects sampled per ISO 2859-1, general inspection level II. Buyers may appoint a third party such as SGS, BV or Intertek to witness the audit on activewear orders.

≤ 2.0%Internal defect target

Line-level defect rate is tracked daily and reviewed each morning. Activewear styles exceeding the target are re-inspected 100% before packing, with special attention to seam strength and stretch recovery.

100%Size-set measurement

Every size in the activewear order is measured against spec, including stretch-fit tolerance. Out-of-tolerance garments are reworked or replaced before the carton audit.

Rework and claim policy

  • Defects found in the buyer's or third-party inspection are reworked or remade at our cost.
  • Inspection re-booking fees caused by our quality issues are covered by us.
  • Shipment is only released after the final inspection report is approved.
  • Any claim must be raised within 30 days of receipt, with photos and carton numbers.
