Inspect microfiber towels against an approved written specification and identified control sample. Check quantity, finished dimensions, mass per unit area when required, declared blend evidence, weave and pile, edge, color, visible defects, lint direction, packaging and carton markings. Define the sampling plan and pass criteria before inspection; do not create acceptance limits after seeing the production lot.
1. Freeze the inspection version
The inspector needs the approved SKU, specification revision, color reference, packaging artwork and control-sample identity.
2. Divide checks by evidence type
Use visual checks for appearance, measurement for dimensions, a defined method for GSM or color transfer and document review for declared composition.
- Quantity and assortment
- Dimensions and agreed tolerance
- Weave, pile and edge
- Color and visible contamination
- Unit pack and carton data
3. Define method and sample size first
Specify conditioning, instrument, specimen preparation, sampling and pass criteria before production or inspection. A standard name without those details does not create a complete acceptance plan.
4. Record exceptions
Photograph and identify nonconforming units, record the lot and decision, and keep rework or concession approval linked to the order reference.

Review the quality and evidence processCommon questions
Can one approved towel represent every color?
Only if the buyer accepts that scope. Color transfer and dye-related behavior may need color-specific review.
Is visual inspection enough for GSM?
No. GSM is a measured mass-per-area field when it is part of acceptance criteria.
Who should define the pass criteria?
The buyer and SPECVANTA should agree them before inspection, using the written specification and applicable method.
