TESTING PROCEDURES
I.
DXL GROUP RESPONSIBILITY

Provide the vendor with a copy of the DXL Group Vendor Guide, Chapter 5 and protocols.

When a product fails testing, DXL Group will determine the disposition as to retest or cancellation of the order,
etc.
II. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY


See Chapter 5-DXLG QA program for vendor testing policy.
As a vendor to DXL Group, you are fully responsible for all fabric and garment testing of production
merchandise. You must guarantee that fabric and garments pass all tests before production and shipment.
The best timing for fabric testing is upon the initial run of production. The best timing for garment testing is
upon receipt of our order with the correct samples. It is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that all necessary
tests are done to meet DXL Group requirements.

All initial or first tests will be paid by the DXL Group. All retest will be paid by the Vendor.

Sample submission to BVCPS :
Fabric Testing: For initial bulk fabric testing, a minimum of two (2) square yards must be submitted for full testing in
one (1) colorway along with a minimum of one (1) square yard fabric in each additional colorway. Fabric must be
identical in every aspect to bulk production piece goods including color and prints.
Pre-Production Garment Testing: Send four (4) garments in each style in the largest size available for complete garment
testing. Pre-Production Garments must be made on production machinery and must represent bulk production.
If additional garment / fabric is required, BVCPS will immediately contact the vendor.

A completed DXL Group Test Request Form should be submitted with garment / fabric. BVCPS will not accept
a sample if the form is incomplete. The Vendor may obtain Test Request Forms directly from BVCPS (See
Enclosed Test Request Form).

Garments must include all bulk trim, accessories and embellishments.
Findings and Functional / Decorative Trim
Zippers
Buttons and Snaps
Elastic
Applied Trim: Lace, Bows, Ribbon, Patches, Etc.

II. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY (Continued)
Samples Required for Testing – Garment Retests: All retests are the vendor’s responsibility.
Note: On product re-tests, the previous test report number must be referenced on the Test Request Form.
If a previous report number is not referenced, the full fabric and garment tests may be performed on the
submission. All retested fees are vendor’s responsibility.
Ongoing Programs: Products that are purchased on an ongoing basis must be tested in accordance with the
appropriate packages at least once every 6 months, and/or when changes have been made in production.

July 2014
III. BVCPS RESPONSIBILITY

When the Test Request Form is incomplete, the laboratory will notify the originating vendor. Until proper
information is received, testing will be delayed.

Complete testing and evaluate the test results (See DXL Group Standard Test Package). Rate the product by:

o
Pass ― The product provides good overall consumer serviceability and requires no
improvement.
o
Fail ― The product has deficiencies of such severity that the customer dissatisfaction will likely
result and / or noncompliance or regulatory requirements. The product cannot be sold until
improvements are made
Reports will be emailed to DXL Group and submitter as well as posted on BVOS.
