Quality & certification
Compliance is a production input, not a paperwork afterthought.
Fabrics, filling and components are selected against the requirements of your destination market before the first sample is cut. Test reports, declarations and labelling data are prepared with the order.

Quality standards
How a batch is judged.
The approval sample is sealed and kept. Every production batch is measured against it — not against a verbal description, and not against the previous batch.
- AQL 2.5 final inspection on every shipment
- 100% metal detection, with a challenged detector each shift
- Stuffing weight and symmetry checked against the sealed sample
- Stitch density, seam strength and pull-test on attached parts
- Age-grade and small-parts assessment before packing
- Corrective-action report within 48 hours of any claim
Note for buyers: certification scope follows the product, the age grade and the destination. Send us the target market and age range with your brief and we will return the exact test plan and the cost of testing with the quotation.
