LABORATORY
No sooner than the fabric is received at ware house, one meter length from every fabric
role received will be sent to Laboratory for finding Dimensional Changes due to Style
wash & and shades evolved during Style Wash.
Based on the garment wash as required by the buyer ( Approved Standard ), fabric shall
be washed in the laboratory and necessary Taper Report is developed against the
shades evolved and shrinkage obtained after wash Further, Fabric is subjected to a
TEST called Fabric Package Test.
Under this test, before proceeding, Fabric Content and Weight are verified and then
following tests are conducted
FABRIC PACKAGE TEST
01). Skew
02)
Tensile Strength
03)
Tearing Strength
04)
Colour Fastness to Perspiration
05)
Colour Fastness to Crocking
06)
Colour Fastness to Water
07)
Fabric Weight
08)
pH ( Power of Hydrogen ) using pH meter
09)
Stretch & Recovery ( Only for Stretch Fabric )
10)
Construction ( Visual)

Yarn Size
Before proceeding with the bulk, it is necessary that 2 nos. of garments produced in the
size set stage are subjected for Garment Package Test after Style Wash as approved
by the buyer under the following lines
GARMENT PACKAGE TEST
01).
Dimensional Stability to Home Laundering.
02.)
Appearance after Laundering

06).
Tearing Strength
07)
CF to Accelerated Laundering
08).
CF to crocking
09)

The reports on these two above mentioned tests shall be forwarded to Quality,
Marketing & PPC departments for further actions.
QA Department has to thoroughly analyse these reports with respect to every parameter
checked.
