Materials & Components

The quality of the ingredients is an essential part of the product quality. Defective or poor quality components can cause product failures, recalls, additional costs, and negative customer experiences. These can also pose a security risk. Apparel and accessory brands and retailers must carefully select all materials and components based on the end use, quality and, where applicable, the safety requirements of the products, while meeting the specific market conditions.

Quality and compliance in raw materials are essential to ensure supply chain security and reliability, and to reduce potential risks during the manufacturing process.

• Raw materials (natural and synthetic)
• The fiber structure of textile products: fabrics and yarns
• Chemicals, surface finish and coloring products
