Moreover, quality issues can quickly disseminate in the digital age, giving competitors an advantage. Therefore, quality control is essential, and quality inspection is the most commonly used method. In this post, we will guide you through the steps of a garment quality inspection, the key checkpoints to focus on, and how can C&Z expertise support your garment quality control.
Sharqiya traditional dress, the iconic clothing of Eastern Arabia's tribal communities, represents centuries of cultural identity with its distinctive embroidery, metallic threads, and symbolic patterns. As demand grows for authentic cultural attire, mass production has introduced critical quality risks: toxic materials, structural weaknesses, and cultural appropriation. At CZ-Quality, we implement specialized protocols to safeguard both wearer safety and heritage authenticity.

Our XRF spectroscopy testing enforces Oeko-Tex Standard 100 compliance, detecting heavy metals in "zari" embroidery
Formaldehyde in fabric treatments (tested per SASO 14184-1)
Weak embroidery attachment (＜20N) causes precious metal thread loss
Base fabric strength ≥220N
Metallic thread bonding ≥25N
Colorfastness to perspiration (ISO 105-E04) for desert conditions
Synthetic fibers replacing traditional cotton/silk (≥95% natural fibers required)
AI pattern validation against Dammam Heritage Museum archives
