Inspection

Work in Progress Inspection

Each factory should have an in-line audit process. This process should perform random daily statistical

audits on a regular basis. Inspections should be performed multiple times throughout the day at each

operation. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any quality problems early in the process and correct

them immediately.

* Each operator must know how to perform the task and know the standards for her operation. This

would include SPI, margins, seams, tensions and proper inspection of her own goods every 12

pieces at a minimum. The In-Line auditor will inspect against each operators or operations standard

and document.

* Critical work in-process inspection points should be established. The points would include Set

Sleeve, Set cup/wing, attaching of Elastics, and/or critical measurement points. Each garment type

will have different inspection points.

* The accuracy rate of each operation should be recorded statistically as a method of monitoring

product quality.

* The In-line auditor should have the authority to escalate issues that are not being resolved with the

Quality manager or Factory Manager in order to have the line stopped and issues corrected.

* The In-line auditor should maintain constant contact with the End-Line inspector in order to get

updates on any issues found and immediate corrective action that may be needed in the sew line.

End of Line Inspection

All factories are required to have their own internal audit process and documentation. We require for all

products to meet a 2.5 AQL Level II Normal Inspection for construction, appearance and measurements.

The final days results should be reviewed with each sew team and in-line auditor to review their quality

output and where they can improve.

Garment Performance Test

Komar has established Garment Testing to verify that all garment styles meet our expectations as well as

meet the USA Government regulations. Our Protocols (see Appendix) will include both the regulatory and

performance testing. We have partnered up with 3 rd Party labs (see Appendix of approved 3 rd Party Labs) to

ensure that our garments are tested and follow Regulatory Testing.

All Shipments must be accompanied by a GCC and Children’s Conformity Certificate.

PLEASE REQUEST TESTING MANUAL FOR SEPARATE TESTING PROTOCOLS ON ADULTS AND KIDS

INTIMATES & SLEEPWEAR.

To request a GCC please send an E-mail to Karen Gibson: ksmith@komar-okla.com and Christel Helem:

chelem@komar-okla.com and include the following:

* Copies of all pertinent Test Reports. (we must receive the Garment AND the Fabric Test Reports or

the GCC will not be issued)

* Copy of the Commercial Invoice or the following information listed on the e-mail:

    o  Commercial Invoice Number

    o  Purchase Order Number

    o  Manufacturer Name and Address

* Manufacture Date - Month/Year

* Summary to show the PO#/Style# and related Test Report(s) #

Our Komar QA will verify that Garment Testing has been completed during the Final Audit. Komar QA can

place a shipment on hold if the Testing has not been done.

NOTE: There is no override for Regulatory Testing Failures and Komar will not ship goods.

Final Inspection and Packaging Conformance

Komar requires that all shipments meet and pass an Audit by our Quality Team.
