Kravet Quality Assurance from Incoming Material to Lot Release

Convert a fabric brief into checkpoints for incoming inputs, dyeing and finishing, physical performance, shade review and production release.

Quality control is a sequence of scoped decisions, not a single certificate. The working standard names the material, test method, specimen condition, approved reference and acceptance point so that a result can be interpreted without extending it beyond the order.

01

Incoming alignment

Confirm yarn or greige identity, construction reference, width and documented lot before dyeing or finishing changes the substrate.

02

Process controls

Record the route affecting shade, handle, shrinkage and performance. A strike-off or lab dip remains a development approval, not proof of every bulk roll.

03

Release evidence

Review roll inspection, shade continuity, GSM, usable width and applicable physical or colorfastness results against the agreed production criteria.

Five release gates

Gate 1Specification locked

Composition, construction, nominal values, tolerance and test route recorded.

Gate 2Color reference approved

Light source, shade reference and evaluator decision documented.

Gate 3Bulk properties checked

Specimens conditioned and tested using the named method.

Gate 4Roll and lot reviewed

Width, shade continuity and defects assessed under the agreed plan.

Gate 5Documents reconciled

Order, lot, report and shipping references checked before release.

Evidence is valid only within its scope

OEKO-TEX, GRS, GOTS, bluesign, ISO and REACH describe different systems, entities and claims. They are not interchangeable product certificates. Any available document must be checked for issuer, covered entity, product or process scope, validity date and destination requirement.

A report for one shade or finish does not establish the result for every variant. Re-testing may be required after a fiber, dye, finish, construction or care-route change.
