5.4 Appearance quality grading
5.4.1 Physical appearance quality
Appearance quality includes style, pattern, surface appearance, color, feel, workmanship, etc. According to the sealed samples confirmed by the supplier and the purchaser or those produced by the manufacturer, the products that meet the sealed samples are regarded as acceptable.
5.4.2 Tolerance of main specifications and dimensions
Tolerance of main specifications and dimensions is as follows:
——length direction: ± 2.0cm;
——width direction: ± 1.5cm;
——symmetry deviation: ≤ 1.0cm.
Note 1: The tolerance of main specifications and dimensions refers to the difference between the actual dimension and the design dimension or marked dimension of the tops length, width of chest (1/2 chest girth) and sleeve length of sweater; the trouser length, crotch depth and crotch of trousers; the skirt length and hip width (1/2 hip girth) of skirt, and the width and 1/2 length of scarf respectively.
Note 2: Symmetry deviation refers to the difference in symmetry of the same product, e.g., the length difference between the two sleeves of tops, and the length difference between the two trouser legs of trousers.
5.4.3 Seam elongation
The seam elongation for flat seam, overseam and chain seam are not less than 10%, 20% and 30% (including hand sewing) respectively. The seam elongation test results show the phenomenon of seam breakage or fabric breakage, which is judged as rejected.
5.4.4 Unfold dimension of neckhole
Children aged 7 and above and adults: ≥ 30cm; children under 7 years old: ≥ 28 cm; infants: ≥ 26cm. If the seam or fabric is fracture in the test result of unfold dimension of neckhole, it is judged as rejected.
