TNS Inspection Services carries out textile and garment inspection, staffed by professionals experienced in textile quality standards. Our inspectors use established tools and techniques to assess fabric quality, stitching precision, and compliance with industry regulations.
Book a comprehensive inspection to confirm your textile and garment products meet the standards of quality, safety and compliance your buyers expect.
Textiles and garments inspection is a core part of quality control in the fashion and textile industry — it confirms that products meet the standards buyers expect for durability, safety, comfort and appearance, and helps manufacturers protect their brand reputation. An inspection covers five key aspects:
Textile materials are checked for defects, flaws and consistency in weave or knit, and against the specified standards for strength, texture and colour.
Stitching quality, seam alignment and seam strength are assessed — the factors that determine whether a garment unravels or tears during use.
Colourfastness to washing, rubbing and light exposure is tested, to confirm colours stay vibrant and do not fade quickly.
Measurements and dimensions are checked against industry standards and the specified sizes, so garments fit correctly and comfortably.
Products are checked against regulatory standards for safety, labelling and environmental impact.
The fashion and textile industry covers a wide range of products, each with its own quality requirements. We inspect:
Each inspection is built around the following stages:
Textile materials are examined for strength and consistency.
Measurements are checked against the specified sizes.
Colours are tested for how well they hold up in normal use.
Labels and safety compliance are checked against the product.
How the product is folded, packed and labelled for shipment.
Where a product has moving parts, they are tested for function.
Every stage above is checked against the relevant quality standards, safety regulations and environmental requirements that apply to the product.
