I. Talbots Quality Assurance Expectation

For over 60 years, Talbots’ business philosophy has been rooted in providing classical QUALITY

products to our customers. Quality has been the unwavering cornerstone of our values and

continues to be the driving expectation from our devoted customers. We know that when our

customer thinks about Talbots, quality is one of the first things that come to her mind.

We recognize that our success in assuring our quality goals are achieved is based on leveraging

the expertise and experience of our agents, suppliers and manufacturers. As a result, we expect

our elected vendors to continuously utilize their highest skills, capabilities and knowledge to assure

that Talbots commitment to quality is apparent in every delivery.

The following chapter outlines our Quality expectations from design through to point of sale. We

compile and communicate these requirements to assist in assuring product quality is delivered to

Talbots. The contents in this chapter are to be considered minimum requirements for quality

assurance and control processes.

We encourage our agents and vendors to strive to exceed our requirements through best

practices and continuous improvements.

Our customers know and recognize Talbots for QUALITY….

Quality is a part of Talbots Brand reputation

Talbots products have integrity, are durable, and consistently perform

Talbots’ success is attributed to several factors; most importantly, understanding

and delivering the quality that our customers expect

Talbots’ quality standard strives to exceed “commercially acceptable” standards

II. Product Integrity

Products with integrity perform superbly, are safe, provide a good value, and completely

meet or exceed the customer expectations in all respects. Products must live up to Talbots’

customers’ expectations and our promise for quality. Products with integrity do not unexpectedly

fail or underperform.

Our testing program requires compliance to quality, safety and regulatory standards.

Products are tested at various stages for quality including; shrinkage, colorfastness, durability, and

strength. Products are also tested for a selection of potential legal and safety issues (flammability;

labeling, physical/mechanical hazards, and toxicity).

a. Talbots Standards

Talbots Quality and Safety Requirements

Talbots’ quality, safety, and regulatory standards are contained within each Test Protocol

outlining a series of requirements/specifications for Talbot’s products.

Each protocol contains test properties, specified test methods, and Talbot’s

standards/requirements. On a case-by-case basis, Talbots Testing Department may request

additional testing above and beyond what is listed on the basic protocol.

It is imperative that proper protocol be assigned to each submission tested. Any questions

concerning the designated protocol should be directed to the Talbots Product Integrity.

Wear Testing

To assess consumer end use and fit for purpose, Talbots may require samples to conduct

wearer testing. This type of evaluation will be at the discretion of Talbots.

b. Stages of Testing

Phase I: Development

At development stage, Agents/Mills are required to review each fabric quality against the

designated Talbots testing protocol. At this point, any potential performance issues that may

not meet Talbots’ quality standards must be reported to Talbots Research and Development

and Product Integrity Teams.

Mills are also required to submit available internal testing. This is not in lieu of testing actual

sample yardage to Talbots testing protocol, standards/requirements, but will be used as an

indicator of performance.

Talbots requires that all new qualities, at sample yardage stage, be tested in accordance to

Talbots’ specified protocol. Testing must be completed as soon as sample yardage becomes

available in advance of Line Presentation.

Any non-compliance or sub-standard must be addressed and re-engineered to meet

performance and quality requirements before proceeding to production. Bulk fabric

commitments may only be agreed following development testing approvals.

While it is not required to conduct development testing each season on repeat qualities, there

may be instances where it is necessary, based on past performance and/or when a fabric was last

ordered.

Page 4: Chapter 8 Quality Assurance › talbotsprod › imagestore › Vendor… · f. Legal, Safety and Regulatory Compliance..... 8 g. Financial Responsibilities ... additional testing

Phase II: Pre-Production Testing Requirement

It is the vendor’s responsibility to assure compatibility of all components, as they are

assembled into a single product, to meet Talbots’ standards. Potential issues and/or

concerns should always be raised prior to commencing production.

All components; inclusive of those permanently or transiently attached to a final finished

product supplied by either Nominated or local suppliers, must be tested in accordance to

Talbots’ procedures. Vendor must acquire or perform actual testing on all trims and

components, to certify individual materials meet Talbots’ quality requirements. Testing must

prove to be in compliance with all requirements and quality standards.

Materials for Pre-Production Testing (not intended to be inclusive)

All fabrics, specialty and novelty trims, components, and embellishment, both functional

and decorative

Zippers, buttons, snaps, toggles, trims, embellishments, embroidery, beads, bindings,

thread, elastics, interlinings, lining, shoulder pads, grosgrain ribbon, labels, hand tags, poly

bags, and fillers

Additionally, following styling meetings, Talbots will initiate testing on any components, mock

ups or products due to specific performance concerns. Product samples or mock ups

submitted for testing must be representative of the bulk quality.

Phase III: Bulk Fabric Production

Bulk fabric testing is required in accordance to the designated test protocol for all bulk fabric.

Testing must be performed on bulk fabric, in actual bulk colors, with correct finish/wash

treatment.

All colors must be tested. Lead color is required to be fully tested in accordance with the

full protocol

For key item programs; light, medium and dark color must be tested to the full protocol

All additional colorways must be tested for colorfastness; any significant color ranges within

a single color must also be tested

All fabrics are to be selected from first bulk production dyelots

Wet processed programs require testing before and after industrial washing

Phase IV: Pre-Production Sample (PPS) Garment Testing

After confirmation of necessary fabric approvals, pre-production samples (PPS) must be

tested in accordance to the designated garment protocol. PPS must be identical to bulk

garments and testing must be conducted on products as they will be sold, complete with

actual components and trims.

Testing must be completed prior to ordering care and content labels

Confirmation of care and content will be given AFTER approved garment testing and all

applicable Fabric Testing is completed.

Care labels must be in accordance to approved care instructions

PPS must represent approved wash standard

Testing must be in the darkest color or as specified by Talbots

For key item program, light, medium and dark garment must be tested to full protocol

c. Talbots Test Report Overall Ratings

Products will be rated accordingly by Talbots’ approved laboratory service provider:

Pass

Product meets Talbots’ quality standards; production can proceed

Pass – With Label Change

Occurs when a slight modification to the submitted care can be made for acceptability. Example: if

a submitted label reads “Do Not Bleach,” but the product passes colorfastness testing for non-

chlorine bleach, it would need to be labeled “Only Non-Chlorine Bleach when needed”

Fail

Product has deficiencies that do not meet Talbots’ quality standards and/or do not comply with

regulatory requirements. Resolution is required. Vendor is required to review the test report and

determine the course of action. Talbots must grant a waiver to the vendor for any non-compliant

shipments.

d. Test Report Distribution and Required Approvals

Test reports will be emailed from the originating lab to the testing applicant and agent’s local

sourcing office.

Failed

All reports rated as “Fail” are first reviewed by vendor/ agent; then expedited to Talbots

Product Integrity. Failed reports must include ALL tested specimens fully represented and

completely mounted.

Any and all failed testing that will impact time and action and/or delivery must also be

communicated to Sourcing.

Passing

Passing test report do not require Talbots approvals; vendor may proceed to next steps

All passing test reports must be archived by the agent for three (3) years and available for

review by Talbots when and as required

product shipping from vendor.

e. Test Sample Submission Guideline and Requirement

Repeat fabrics and finished productions are to be tested every six (6) months, every

100,000 yards/per color or at Talbots discretion, to verify product consistency

Additional colorways can be submitted separately, or with the full package test. If

submitted separately, the full package test report number must be referenced on Test

Request Form.

Product failure requires improvements and re-testing. If the approved aesthetics change

(appearance, hand feel or special finishing) or color is compromised due to improvements

made to achieve product quality standards, re-submission to Product Development for

quality or color re-approval is required.

Fabric in multiple styles can be tested together; all styles must be referenced on Test

Request Form

Multiple sizes (petite/missy/women’s) of the same styles, can be tested together; all style

numbers must be referenced on Test Request Form

Same styles with multiple sleeve lengths (long/¾ length) or multiple inseam sizes (crop/full

length) can be tested together; all style numbers must be referenced on Test Request Form

Sufficient samples must be provided for testing; the lab will contact vendor directly for

additional samples and will alert Talbots if re-occurrences result in inefficient processing

and delayed test results

It is imperative to alert Talbots’ Sourcing of any production delays or T&A changes.

textiles, vinyl plastic film, carpets/rugs, children's sleepwear, mattresses and mattress pads.

The Federal regulations for the FFA are found in Title 16 CFR parts 1602 through 1632

For high risk fabrics, Talbots has tightened the following testing practices:

Requires flammability testing on each color in each fabric order

Tested more frequently; every season

Reduce weight requirement to 3.0 oz/yd vs. 2.6 oz/yd

Product Marketing Claim and Substantiation

U.S. laws require that a product declaring specific performance features must be accurate and not

misleading or deceptive to consumers.

Products declaring specific performance feature(s) that will be marketed by Talbots (water resistant

or waterproof), must be substantiated through actual product testing.

Specific performance features must be identified on the Test Request with the proper additional test

request so the lab can appropriately assess and conduct testing.

Talbots Restricted Substances List Policy and Procedure (RSL)

III. Quality Control Requirements

a. Product Specifications and Physical Reference Standards

During inspections, Approved Technical Specifications, Approved Top of Production Samples

(TOP) and any pre-approved physical reference standards or ranges must be used as the

standard by the manufacturer.

Specifications, TOP and Physical Reference Standards will also be issued to Talbots Lakeville

Quality Control Department and used during the Warehouse Inbound Audit (WIA). These will

represent the standard for product conformity with Talbots’ requirements and standards.

b. Manufacturer’s Inspection Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

The manufacturer must control the process throughout all stages of pre-production and

production; assuring all raw materials, fabrics, trims and the actual production process are

aligned to achieve TALBOTS quality expectations, standards and requirements.

The manufacturer must also have adequate and effective quality systems and procedures

incorporated in the production of Talbots products.

Pre Production

Talbots strongly recommends that a Pre-Production meeting and a pilot run be conducted

prior to bulk production.

Inline

Talbots believes that identification and anticipation of issues early in the production process,

provides the best opportunity for resolution in executing a quality product.

The vendor’s inline inspection within the factory is a vital process for detecting issues; our

objective: to maintain quality throughout each stage of production.

Final 100%

Factory 100% Inspection is required prior to presenting shipments to Agent/Vendor for final

statistical Audit. At the time of presenting the shipment to Agent/Vendor for final statistical

audit, the complete shipment by PO/Colors must be represented.

Talbots Quality Assurance strongly recommends that vendors fully train and certify inspectors

on Talbot’s quality requirements and standards. Factories with a designated inspector for

Talbots’ products, assures an in-house understanding of Talbots’ quality standards.

c. Agent/Vendor’s Statistical Sampling Audit

Talbots’ Agents/Vendors are ultimately responsible for the quality of their delivered

merchandise to Talbots. Vendors should be familiar with all information regarding Talbots’

inspection criteria to help prevent failed inspections, and Vendor Chargebacks as a result of

failed inspections.

Before each shipment is released to Talbots, the Agent/Vendor is required to conduct an

audit for every PO/Color to ensure product shipment is compliant with Talbots’ quality

standards. Final Audits, when performed accurately and correctly, will proactively eliminate

quality issues and/or non-compliances during the Talbots Lakeville DC Warehouse Inbound

Audit (WIA).

Page 14: Chapter 8 Quality Assurance › talbotsprod › imagestore › Vendor… · f. Legal, Safety and Regulatory Compliance..... 8 g. Financial Responsibilities ... additional testing

14

This final audit is considered a validation that quality preventive action steps and processes

taken in pre production and production yielded a quality, compliant final product. The final

audit can also identify valuable information in specific areas that may require further

inspection or room for continuous improvement.

Final Statistical Audit Responsibility

Vendors represented by an Agent:

o Final audits must be conducted / documented by the Agent

Vendors not represented by an Agent:

o Final audits must be conducted and documented by the vendor(in addition to 100%

inspection)

Adherence to the Final Audit

Audit must be performed at the manufacturing location, or another vendor

owned/operated venue

Audits must be conducted using the approved TOP and any additional approved trim,

shade bands etc.

100% of the product needs to be in ready-to-ship packed condition

Inspection Level: Sampling Plan Normal Level II -AQL 1.5 in accordance to ANSI/ASQC

Z1.4 Table I Sample Size and Table IIA Inspection

A lot is defined by Talbots as a PO/Color that is manufactured at the same time, in the

same factory and has sufficient discrimination from other variables

Every lot as defined by Talbots ( PO/Color) must achieve passing audit results before

shipment is released

The Agent/Vendor must maintain records documenting all audits

Audit records must be made available to Talbots upon request

d. Talbots Warehouse Inbound Audit

Talbots Lakeville Distribution Center Warehouse Inbound Audit (WIA) is a scientific procedure

based on reliable authority to determine/confirm that each vendor product shipment

conforms to Talbots’ specifications, quality, and shipping requirements. The WIA is performed

at the Talbots Distribution Center upon receipt of every PO/Color.

WIA Process

Audits are conducted by our dedicated, highly-trained QC Audit Team managed by

Talbots Quality Assurance

Talbots defines a sample “lot” as a PO/color also known as a receipt/sub-receipt

Units are randomly selected across all sizes

Number of units selected are strictly based on the total lot size

Split POs undergo two separate independent audits

Specification, TOP and reference samples/ranges are used as the evaluation tools

Pass/Fail is dictated by the Acceptance Sampling Plan

During the WIA, Talbots evaluates the same product attributes assessed during TOP Sample

Evaluation.

would be unwilling to normally accept such a defect at full retail price

Any defect likely to materially reduce the usability of the product for its intended end use,

or is likely to result in failure

A defect that may render the product unusable, may affect serviceability adversely, may

shorten the life cycle of the product, would be objectionable to the consumer, or is no

longer considered first quality

Talbots will utilize inspection by attributes whereby the product is either accepted or rejected.

LOT Accept/Reject Determination

Accept

If the number of non-conforming units within the sample size does not exceed the

predetermined number, the entire lot (PO/Color) is accepted.

Reject

If the number of non-conforming units exceeds the predetermined number, the lot is rejected

and quarantined in the DC for final disposition.

Vendor Scorecard Reporting

Talbots QA will track PASS and FAIL lot rates by agent/vendor/factory. If individual pieces

within a shipment are rejected, but the lot remains as a PASS, those rejected pieces will be

documented and feedback may be presented to the vendor for continuous improvements.

Chargeback dollars and 100% inspection data are also tracked as part of the overall vendor’s

Quality performance.

Agent/Vendor/Factory Scorecards are reported to internal Senior Executives and multiple

Talbot’s departments.

e. Disposition of Non-Compliant Lots /Shipment REJECTED

Definition of Non-Compliant:

Products delivered to Talbots that are deemed unacceptable to the stated Terms and

Conditions of the Placement Memorandum (PM)/Purchase Order (PO)

If an inspection FAILS to meet the standards or specifications, the delivery/product will be

REJECTED. In that case, rejected lots will be quarantined at the Talbots DC. The vendor will be

notified of any non conforming “lots” (PO/Color) via the Vendor Non-Compliance Report

referred to as NC. The NC process involves the following steps:

1. Non Compliance Claim Notification

Initial audit and 100% results is communicated

2. Claim in Process

Chargeback dollars are reconciled and Claim Release Form(CRF) is issued for

signature. CRF also requires the Agent/vendor’s disposition of rejected merchandise

3. Finalized Claim

CRF has been signed and received; final disposition of goods is resolved and AP closes

claim, deducting total claim for payment

Talbots Shipment Review and Determination

Talbots will determine if shipment will be 100% inspected and/or Returned to Vendor (RTV)

Merchandise requiring 100% inspection, sorting and/or intellectual property removal, will be

processed at Talbots Lakeville DC or Talbots elected third party resource:

Vendor is responsible for cost to remediate, return, or destroy non-compliant shipments

Disposition of Rejected Units

Vendors are responsible to provide disposition of rejects found during the 100% inspection; to

include returning or disposing merchandise. In the event vendor is not able to indicate the

disposition of RTV units in a reasonable time frame, Talbots will extend grace period to 90 days

from requesting CRF. On the 90th day, the amount indicated on NC including Intellectual

Property removal or deface of brand identity, will be automatically charged to vendor's

current A/P. All units will be held in RTV inventory for an additional 90 days. If product is not

rescued by vendor within that timeframe, the product will be destroyed.

For inquiries regarding Talbots’ rejection, Vendors must not contact Talbots elected

third party resources directly. Vendor should direct all inquiries regarding rejected

product to the Talbots Senior Director of Quality Assurance.

Release of Rejected Merchandise from Talbots Distribution Center

Destruction

Talbots will coordinate the destruction of rejected merchandise on

behalf of a vendor. The vendor will be responsible for all handling,

transportation, certification and destruction charges.

Return to Vendor (RTV)*

The merchandise must be shipped to the country of origin. Talbots

will coordinate the removal of Intellectual Property (IP – labels, tickets,

hang tags and any trim bearing Talbots’ logos) on behalf of a

vendor. The vendor will be responsible for all IP removal charges,

transportation for IP removal, transportation of returning freight and

administration fees.

Merchandise that is deemed unsafe, due to legal or regulatory standards, will be

certified destroyed. The vendor will be responsible for all handling, transportation,

certification and destruction charges.

factories. There are specific penalties for metal objects found in Talbots’ products reaching

the customer or end consumer.

Returns to Vendors

Each Talbots Supplier is required to acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions

with respect to goods that do not meet Talbots quality standards. If Talbots determines, in its sole

discretion, that Supplier goods do not meet their quality standards, they will be labeled “Return for

Vendor Goods (RTVs). Talbots will prepare, pack, palletize, and load RTVs for shipment.

To assist Talbots and each Supplier with RTVs, Talbots has selected Hilco Wholesale Solutions, LLC

(Hilco) as their exclusive vendor for the disposition of RTVs. On a monthly/quarterly basis, Talbots will

notify the Supplier and Hilco of RTVs and provide copies of the original Supplier purchase orders

(POs). Hilco will arrange for shipment of RTVs to their warehouse and will process and count RTVs

within 30 days of receipt.

It is Supplier’s responsibility to contact Hilco to exercise their option for payment of RTVs.

(Hilco contact information is provided below)

Within 45 days of receipt to their warehouse, Hilco will pay the Supplier an amount equal to the

product of:

(1)(a) the “first cost”, which excludes freight, duty, handling, and other charges, of each RTV good

as reflected in the associated PO multiplied by (b) the percentage associated with the category

for each good, as reflected in the column titled “Hilco % of First Cost” on Schedule A, less (2) all

shipping costs.

If a RTV good is not associated with a category on Schedule A, the percentage in subsection (1)(b)

in the preceding sentence shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(i) 20% for each “accessory” good, each good associated with an “Accessory Department”, or

jewelry; or (ii) 30% for all other goods.

If a shipment of RTVs to Hilco includes 10,000 or more units of RTV goods in any one style, the

percentage in subsection (1)(b) above attributable to such goods shall be reduced by 10%

(i.e., 30% to 20% or 20% to 10%, as applicable).
