Dimensions and thickness
Agree straight or curved measurements, measurement positions and permitted variation. Check the same positions on the approved reference and the supplied product.
SAMPLE & QUALITY CONFIRMATION
Define what needs to be checked.
A clear sample reference and agreed acceptance requirements help align purchasing and development teams. The items below are a confirmation checklist, not a claim of completed testing or certification.
Shape, edges and garment fit
Review left/right pairing, edge profile and the intended sewn-in or removable construction. Verify how the sample fits the actual garment or pocket.
Material and test evidence
Confirm material composition and layer construction. If a performance or certification requirement applies, request evidence for the specific model, test scope and market; unverified claims are not published.
Approved sample and packing
Record the sample version, colour reference, units and pack quantities. Production, inspection and packaging evidence can be reviewed when genuine supplier records are available.
Make the specification easier to discuss.
Use the buying checklists for measurements, MOQ, sample confirmation and delivery.

What makes sample approval useful for bulk orders?
Connect the approved sample to a written specification, revision, measurement method, colour reference and acceptance criteria. Agree required tests and responsible parties before bulk supply; a checklist is not a record of tests already passed.
