AQL 2.5 Quality Standards: Ensuring Garment Production Excellence

Quality control is critical when sourcing bulk garments. B2B buyers rely on Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) standards to conduct statistical sampling checks. AQL standards are integrated directly into the apparel production work process to monitor sewing lines. 1. What is AQL 2.5? AQL 2.5 is the standard percentage limit of defects allowed in a production batch. It defines critical, major, and minor defect tolerances. 2. Inline Inspections: Conduct checks during sewing and printing phases to detect and rectify errors before final packaging. 3. Pre-Shipment Inspection (FRI): Perform a Final Random Inspection based on AQL tables to verify packaging, size conformity, and sewing strength.
