Quality Assurance

Zero-tolerance inspection protocols, in-house technical testing, and international compliance from fiber to finished apparel.

Quality Assurance

At Rivox Sourcing, quality is the core!

From the first sample, we take care of the quality at every step, we identify the key points of each product to anticipate possible difficulties in production. We use the Lectra system to create and print the patterns which we then pass on to the manufacturers. All of these actions are meant to decrease the margin of error. Our in-house lab allows us to run the most common tests on each and every order.

Our Quality Department is totally independent from the Merchandising and Production departments, their only goal is to achieve AQL quality requirement. Our Quality Agents monitor the production from the Pre-Production Sample validation to the Final Inspection. Rivox Sourcing offers a global solution of quality, adapted to the buyer's needs. We also collaborate with the major 3rd party inspection companies (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) as per buyer's requirement.

Rivox Sourcing Quality Assurance

Our 4-Stage Quality Protocol

Independent quality auditors deployed directly on factory lines to ensure zero defects before goods leave Dhaka.

Stage 01

Pre-Production (PPI)

Raw fabric and trims are checked before cutting begins. We verify yarn count, GSM weight, dye shade consistency, and wash fastness.

  • Fabric 4-Point System check
  • Trim & accessory verification
  • Pre-shrinkage assessment
  • Lectra pattern verification
Stage 02

In-Line Inspection (DUPRO)

When 15-20% of the order is on sewing lines, auditors check critical operations to catch any construction or stitching issues immediately.

  • Seam strength & SPI counts
  • Machine tension adjustment
  • Initial size spec measurement
  • Color shade band approval
Stage 03

End-of-Line 100% Audit

Every single garment passes an individual inspection station for thread trimming, pressing, finishing aesthetics, and metal detection.

  • 100% visual inspection
  • 9-point metal detector tunnel
  • Barcode & hangtag accuracy
  • Clean iron pressing check
Stage 04

Final Inspection (FRI / AQL)

Conducted when 100% of order is produced and at least 80% packed into cartons, strictly adhering to internationally agreed AQL criteria.

  • AQL 1.5 / 2.5 Major/Minor standard
  • Carton drop test & labeling
  • Detailed inspection report
  • Final buyer shipment release

In-House Testing Laboratory

Our dedicated apparel lab tests every batch in accordance with ISO, AATCC, and ASTM global standards.

Color Fastness to Washing

Launder-Ometer testing to assess shade change and cross-staining on multi-fiber swatches.

ISO 105-C06 / AATCC 61

Rubbing Fastness (Crocking)

Motorized Crockmeter tests dry and wet color rub resistance across fabrics and printed patterns.

ISO 105-X12 / AATCC 8

Dimensional Stability & Shrinkage

Wascator testing to measure fabric dimensional change and twisting/spirality after 3-5 washes.

ISO 6330 / AATCC 135

Tensile, Tear & Seam Slippage

Electronic tensile testing machine to evaluate seam burst force and yarn slippage resistance.

ASTM D5034 / ISO 13936

Pilling Resistance

Martindale and ICI Pilling Box testing to ensure knitwear and fleece fabrics resist fiber balls.

ISO 12945-2 / ASTM D3512

Needle Detection & Metal Screening

Conveyor calibrated tunnel metal detector guarantees total absence of broken needles and metal burrs.
