Overview
Underwear and swimwear are intimate apparel products that require stringent quality control to ensure comfort, fit, and safety, as they come into direct contact with the skin. These products are often made from specialized, stretchy, and moisture-wicking fabrics that need to withstand frequent wear and washing. At QCC INSPECTION, we provide comprehensive inspection services tailored for underwear and swimwear, focusing on quality, functionality, and compliance with international standards. Our thorough inspection process helps identify potential defects early, ensuring your products meet the highest standards of performance and user satisfaction.
Visual & Build Quality Check
We conduct a detailed visual inspection to detect cosmetic defects and verify the overall quality of underwear and swimwear products.
- Appearance Check: Identifies stains, loose threads, color inconsistencies, and stitching issues such as uneven seams, skipped stitches, or broken threads.
- Branding & Label Verification: Confirms logos, size tags, care labels, and compliance marks (e.g., OEKO-TEX, REACH) are accurately placed and legible.
- Material Quality: Verifies the use of specified fabrics, such as breathable cotton, Lycra, spandex, and quick-drying materials.
Specification Check
We ensure that the product’s specifications align with client requirements, including dimensions, weight, and fabric composition.
- Dimension Measurement: Accurately measures garment size, including waist circumference, hip size, and inseam length.
- Fabric Verification: Confirms the use of specified materials, ensuring compliance with fabric composition standards.
- Feature Validation: Checks essential features like elastic bands, adjustable straps, and moisture-wicking properties.
Functionality & Performance Testing
We conduct a variety of tests to verify the performance and functionality of underwear and swimwear products.
- Stretch & Recovery Test: Measures the elasticity and recovery of the fabric, ensuring a comfortable fit and shape retention.
- Seam Strength Test: Assesses the durability of seams and stitching under stress, especially in high-stretch areas.
- Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Dry Test: Evaluates the fabric’s ability to wick moisture away from the skin and dry quickly, essential for swimwear and performance underwear.
- Chlorine & Saltwater Resistance Test: Tests swimwear fabric for resistance to chlorine and saltwater, preventing color fading and fabric degradation.
- Color Fastness Test: Evaluates the resistance of fabric color to washing, rubbing, and exposure to sunlight.
- Pilling Resistance Test: Assesses the fabric’s resistance to pilling and surface fuzzing after repeated wear and washing.
- Anti-Odor & Bacterial Resistance Test: Tests the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments in the fabric to prevent odor build-up.
- Fit & Comfort Assessment: Evaluates the overall fit and comfort, ensuring the garment maintains its shape without causing discomfort.
Safety & Structural Integrity
Ensuring safety and durability is essential for underwear and swimwear, as these garments are worn directly against the skin and often in active environments.
- Elastic Band Durability Check: Tests the strength and stretch of elastic bands and waistbands to ensure they remain secure during use.
- Poor Stitching & Attachment Test: Evaluates the secure attachment of fasteners, such as hooks, clasps, and straps.
- Structural Integrity Verification: Confirms the durability of seams, hems, and trims to withstand regular wear and washing.
- Sharp Object Check: Ensures no sharp edges or components (e.g., hooks, underwires) that could cause injury or discomfort.
Packaging & Labeling Review
We inspect packaging to ensure it provides adequate protection and meets labeling requirements.
- Packaging Integrity Check: Verifies the quality of packaging, including poly bags, boxes, and protective padding.
- Label Verification: Confirms care labels, size tags, compliance marks, and barcode information are accurate and clearly visible.
