INTRODUCTION This DXL Group Quality Assurance Manual provides the administrative procedures and quality assurance requirements under the testing program. The Consumer Products Services Division of Bureau Veritas (BVCPS) is the approved laboratory under this program and will perform testing on all items as requested by DXL Group and its suppliers as outlined in this manual. DXL Group performance standards are based on past experience. The Performance Standards are used as a guideline for the evaluation of DXL Group acceptability. Most test methods and test procedures are originated from:
ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials)
AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists)
CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission)
FTC (Federal Trade Commission)

Page 6 of 61 July 2014
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 Number of Samples Required
Zippers 6 Zippers
Buttons and Snaps 10 Samples (To be tested on garment stage)
Elastic 3 Samples
Applied Trim: Lace, Bows, Ribbon, Patches, Etc. 8 Samples, 1 Yard OR 4 Garments
Screenprint, Embroidery / Appliqué 5 Samples OR 4 Garments
VISUALLY UNSATISFACTORY SAMPLES (stains, tears, and missing pieces) WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR TESTING!
Page 7 of 61 July 2014
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.
Page 8 of 61 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.
