In the garment industry, whether you are a manufacturer, importer, or brand, you must understand the importance of quality control in this business. This industry shifts swiftly, and any time lost in shipment or defect fixings can lead to unimaginable losses. 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.
The Palt (Пальто), a traditional Russian winter coat, embodies centuries of craftsmanship with its heavy wool construction, intricate embroidery, and functional design for harsh climates. As demand for authentic Russian attire grows, mass production has introduced critical quality risks: substandard materials, inadequate insulation, and cultural inaccuracies. At CZ-Quality, we implement specialized testing protocols to ensure both quality and cultural authenticity.
Synthetic blends replacing traditional wool (≥95% wool required for authentic Palt)
Our material analysis enforces GOST 28000-2017 standards for textile quality
Fabric weight and density verification (≥600g/m² for winter protection)
Filling material quality (down/cloth) verification
Weak seam strength (＜300N) causes seam failure in extreme cold
We perform GOST 3813-72 tensile tests requiring:
Seam strength ≥350N for durability
Button attachment resistance ≥120N
Lining integrity and insulation consistency checks
Inadequate thermal insulation for Russian winters
Water resistance testing per GOST R 51555-2000
Color fastness to snow and moisture (ISO 105-E0)
2023 Russian Market Audit
38% of Palt coats failed basic quality standards
29% used non-compliant insulation materials
24% showed seam failure after limited winter use
Material Verification
Wool supplier audits for GOST R certification
Stitch quality and insulation distribution checks
Thermal insulation performance testing
Metal component corrosion resistance
EAC (EurAsian Conformity) marking for customs union
Partnering with traditional Russian manufacturers, we employ advanced material testing and supply chain verification. Our 98.5% defect detection rate ensures compliance with Russian quality standards.
