A home textiles inspection confirms size, fabric, finish, labels and set completeness on a random sample drawn to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4. Here is what our inspectors check on bedding, towels, cushions, curtains and rugs.
Bed linen, duvets and pillows, towels, cushions, throws, curtains, table linen and rugs.
Each defect in the sample is photographed and counted in its class. Your AQL plan sets how many are allowed; for critical defects the answer is none.
Likely to injure the user or breaks a mandatory rule of the destination market. One critical defect in the sample means the lot is not accepted.
Likely to cause a failure, reduce usability or make the product unsaleable, so a customer would return it.
A departure from the specification that does not affect use and is unlikely on its own to cause a return.
Your specification and approved sample decide the final class. Where a buyer defines zones (for example, zone A for the most visible surfaces), a defect in zone A is usually classed higher than the same defect in a hidden area.
Round cutter and scale; towels also weighed per piece.
Dry and wet white cloth on dark and printed fabrics.
Water drop test: the drop should soak in quickly and evenly.
Hand check at stress points on covers and cushions.
Zips, buttons and envelope openings on covers work smoothly.
Fitted sheets on a mattress or frame of the stated size and depth.
| Point | How we measure |
|---|---|
| Length and width | Laid flat without tension |
| Pocket depth | Fitted sheets, at each corner |
| Hem and border width | At several points per piece |
| Flap depth | Pillowcases and duvet covers |
| Pile height | Rugs and towels, where specified |
| Weight per piece | Towels, throws and fillings (g) |
Unit: cm unless stated. We measure at least five units per size or version against your specification and tolerances, and report every reading.
We check marks and documents against your specification. Your compliance team or test lab confirms which rules apply to your exact product.
We count sets and cartons, then open sampled units fully: sheets are unfolded and measured, towels weighed, covers zipped and unzipped, rugs unrolled on a clean floor. Colour is compared with the approved sample in a light box.
Suggested planLevel II with AQL 0 / 2.5 / 4.0 is the usual starting point for home textiles.
Anything else, ask us directly. A principal replies, not a bot.

We lay each sampled piece flat without tension and measure length, width, hems and flaps against your specification. Fitted sheets are also checked for pocket depth and fit on a frame of the stated size.
Yes. We record the certificate number on the label or hangtag, check it is valid online and confirm it covers the product. Testing for substances is done in an accredited lab.
Tell us the product, the factory and the date. We confirm the inspector and the fixed price the same working day.
