Washed T-Shirt Inspection AQL: Buyer Release Guide

Direct Answer

A **washed t-shirt inspection AQL** plan classifies critical, major, and minor defects, sets the sample size and acceptance rule, and checks measurements, shade, wash character, stitching, decoration, labels, and packing before release. For **Weavnora**, align the plan to **100% cotton** at **220–300 GSM**, confirm the washed sample in about **7 days after confirmation**, and release the **1,000-piece style MOQ** only after approval for an approximately **30-day bulk** window (project-dependent) in **NA/EU** programs.

What AQL Means for Washed T-Shirts

AQL is a sampling framework, not a promise that every garment is perfect. Define the inspection lot, sample size, defect classes, acceptance and rejection numbers, and measurement tolerance before inspection.

| Check | Buyer control | Release question |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Critical | Safety, legal, or wrong-label risk | Is any critical defect present? |

| Major | Wearability, appearance, or function | Is the major limit exceeded? |

| Minor | Small workmanship variation | Is the minor limit exceeded? |

| Lot record | Lot, sample, inspector, date | Is the result traceable? |

Washed Tee Inspection Checklist

Check every sample against the approved washed sample and measurement chart:

• Shade, wash contrast, handfeel, surface character, and unwanted marks.

• Chest, body length, shoulder, sleeve, and neck opening against tolerances.

• Seam security, skipped stitches, open seams, puckering, needle damage, and loose threads.

• Print, DTG, embroidery, or special print position, adhesion, coverage, and wash appearance.

• Fiber content, size label, care label, hangtag, barcode, and origin information supplied by the buyer.

• Folding, polybag, carton quantity, carton marks, and color/size reconciliation.

Do not approve an unwashed blank as the control for a washed program. Inspect the same 100% cotton, 220–300 GSM base and wash direction planned for bulk.

Sample Approval vs Bulk Inspection

If shade, wash route, construction, or decoration changes after approval, treat it as a new confirmation event. A previous AQL report does not authorize a changed style.

FAQ

**What should a washed t-shirt AQL inspection include?**

It should include lot definition, sample size, defect classes, acceptance rules, measurements, shade and wash character, workmanship, decoration, labels, packing, and a traceable report.

**Does AQL replace a buyer measurement chart?**

No. AQL controls sampling decisions; the buyer still needs points of measure, tolerances, and a washed reference sample.

**When should the AQL plan be locked?**

Lock it before bulk release and review it during the ~7-day developmen
