AQF Bags and Accessories Quality Control Expertise

Intense competition, seasonality of markets, and continuous demands for innovation create a challenging environment for the manufacturing of bags in major manufacturing countries and globally. Quality issues and delivery failures impact directly on your supply chain efficiency, profit margins, and brand’s reputation. Retailers must implement effective quality systems to meet delivery and safety standards, along with the expectations of end users.  

AQF offers inspection services at every stage of the supply chain: from selecting new suppliers, through to in-process bag quality control, and final shipment. We examine all types of bag and fashion accessories including handbags, travel bags, backpacks, golf bags, purses, wallets, laptop bags, and more.

AQF verifies the quality, specifications, functions, safety, and compliance of your bags and fashion accessories based on US, EU, and numerous other standards including GB18041, REACH and CPSIA, based on AQF bag inspection checklist (AQF#CK-SL-90).

Bags and Accessories Quality Control Approach

 

AQF technical engineers work closely with your team to design a specific bag or accessory inspection checklist. AQF inspectors verify the quality of mass production based on your Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), perform product function and safety tests, and assess compliance with your product’s specifications and authorized samples. Your products’ workmanship is carefully examined, and defects are classified into subcategories to highlight the key improvement areas for production.

AQF goes above and beyond the average quality inspection service by combining our advanced quality management technology and substantial experience in inspection of bags. We personalize your compliance program, monitor results, and apply corrective actions necessary to support your objectives and achieve lead-times.

BAGS LAB TESTING APPROACH

It generally takes around 5-12 days to test a wide range of garments including clothing, footwear, underwear, sleepwear, leather goods and accessories. In collaboration with WORMS SAFETY LABORATORIES experts, we recommend a selection of tests applicable to major textiles and garment safety risks. With our online system you get an instantaneous quote, with transparent pricing, so you can book immediately and accelerate the testing process.

We couldn’t have gotten this far without AQF

I appreciated AQF services before, but now I’ve come to realize they are a critical partner in our dealings with Chinese companies. We’ll never work with a company again unless AQF has first inspected to ensure we are contracting with a professional, fully operational and legally structured factory. We truly appreciate AQF team time, hard work and help to achieve resolution.
