Quality Control Against Approved Requirements

TUACC's quality-control role is to compare production with the approved product requirements and reference sample, document visible findings, and coordinate corrective action with the factory before shipment when necessary.

A project-specific inspection plan

The exact inspection plan depends on the product, buyer requirements and order risk. Factory-based checks and inspection photos can be arranged, while third-party inspection or laboratory testing is coordinated separately when required. AQL-based inspection can be arranged when it is included in the agreed inspection plan.

Seven practical steps

  • Product specification review
  • Approved sample or production reference
  • Material, color and workmanship checkpoints
  • Factory-based inspection
  • Photo documentation
  • Corrective action and recheck where required
  • Pre-shipment decision according to agreed criteria

Category checkpoints

Scarves emphasize measurement, weight, handfeel and edge finishing. Hats emphasize fit, shape and decoration attachment. Gloves add pair matching, finger construction, seam strength and touchscreen function when applicable.

Checkpoints by product category

  • Scarves: measurements, weight, handfeel, edges and color reference
  • Hats: fit, shape, brim construction, decoration attachment and packing shape
  • Gloves: pair matching, finger construction, seam strength and touchscreen function
  • Bags: dimensions, stitching, zippers, hardware, handles and packing

From finding to pre-shipment decision

  1. Record the finding
  2. Confirm the approved requirement
  3. Coordinate corrective action
  4. Recheck the result
  5. Document the decision

Evidence buyers can verify

  • Current amfori BSCI audit reports or Sedex/SMETA reports when supplied by the selected partner factory
  • Scope-specific laboratory reports and material documents
  • Approved samples, specifications, revision notes and packing references
  • Measurement sheets, inspection photos and corrective-action records
