1.0 PURPOSE
To maintain the quality of the product sold to our customers by implementing a standard
operating procedure for apparel inspections.
2.0 APPLICATION
Applies to all apparel inspections conducted for The Dress Barn, Inc., Maurices Incorporated,
Tween Brands, Inc., Catherine’s Stores Corporation and Lane Bryant, Inc. wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Ascena Retail Group, Inc
3.0 PRE-INSPECTION
Inspection will be done following ASCENA GLOBAL SOURCING Inspection Procedures.
3.1 In advance or upon arrival at factory, Inspector should have available to them an
inspection package to be used during inspection, which will include the following
(Inspector should continue performing the inspection if any of the below are not
available and should be reported in the special notes section of the inspection report):
3.1.1 Copy of Style # and Purchase Order (P.O.)
3.1.2 Approved reference sample (Factory sample is acceptable)
3.1.3 BRAND specific graded measurement sheet
3.1.4 Approved color swatch and/or shade bands (Factory samples are acceptable)
3.1.5 An inspector should never wait more than 2 hours beyond the scheduled
inspection time. If after waiting 2 hours, if the goods are not ready for
inspection, the inspection must be rendered Not Ready. The factory is
responsible for incurred costs and is required to reschedule the inspection at a
later time.
3.1.6 Upon arrival if merchandise has been shipped and is no longer available or
inspector is requested to go to another location, the inspection is rendered Not
Ready. Factory is responsible for incurred costs.
4.0 CONFIRMATION
4.1 The 3rd PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER’S regional coordination center must provide
the Brand confirmation of receipt of inspection information within 1 business
day.
4.2 Regional coordination center should make contact with factory within 2
business days. If after two attempts within 5 business days and no contact has
been made, regional coordination center should contact the Brand.
2
4.3 Regional coordination center is responsible for scheduling inspections with

factory and updating the shared file to include scheduled date and x-factory via
email to the Brand.
5.0 SCHEDULING
5.1 Approximately 30 days is required for a shipment to arrive to the DC, therefore,
inspections should be scheduled 5-6 weeks prior to the “In DC Date” listed on
the activity recap log (this is not to be confused with x’factory date).
5.2 Scheduling of in-process and final inspections must be consistent with logic and
reasonable production capabilities. Thus, a final inspection must not be
scheduled nor conducted in the day following the in-process inspection unless
the total production quantity is so small it is reasonable that in-process
inspection can be conducted one day then a full final inspection of the
completed product the following day.
5.3 The factory will supply the regional coordination center the production status
including the PO, style # and quantities available. Factory will schedule the in-
process and final inspection dates base on this information. The regional
coordination center will coordinate the inspection scheduling with the factory,
but the authorization/request to conduct in-process and/or final inspection
shall come from the Brand.
5.4 The regional coordination center and factory agree on the inspection date
which is noted on the shared activity recap log. The regional coordination
center will send an updated copy of the activity recap log to the Brand once per
week or as needed.
6.0 IN-LINE INSPECTION (If Requested)

The following in-process inspection procedures are to be used in conjunction with the final
inspection procedures outlined in Section 7.0 below.
6.1 The purpose of an in-line inspection is to help a factory, the vendor and the client to
identify potential problems early enough in the manufacturing process that can be
corrected and the quality of the product improved.
6.2 The in-line inspection shall be conducted on finished garments when the production
stage is 0- 20%, or otherwise stated by the Brand, complete and have gone through
the factory’s QC process. The sampling size should be based on the number of finished
units. Garments are not required to be packed.
6.3 Results of this inspection are discussed in detail with the factory management so that
the factory can develop and present to the BRAND a corrective action plan to address
3
any deficiencies found. Note: The 3rd PARTY SERVICE inspector cannot give opinion or
advice regarding how to correct defects.
7.0 FINAL RANDOM INSPECTION (FRI)

The following inspection procedures are to be used independently or in conjunction with
the In-Line Inspection in Section 6.0.
7.1 Sampling for inspections should include all PO’s.
7.2 Inspections must be conducted on finished garments when production is 100%

complete. Garments are required to be 80% packed at the time of inspection, unless
otherwise specified by the Brand.
7.3 If the scheduled style is not 100% complete and 80% packed as required, inspector will
follow the below percentage chart:
 Less than 20% complete, issue not ready report
 21-80% complete – conduct in-line inspection, final inspection must be
rescheduled
 81-99% complete – conduct final inspection, report as FAILED due to
incomplete quantity presented.
7.3 Inspections are conducted in accordance with ANSI/ASQC ZI.4-2008 (formally MIL-STD
105E), Normal Inspection, General Level II. The AQL level is 4.0 for both major and
minor defects and no critical defects are allowed in the shipment. See Appendix A –
4.0 AQL General Inspection Levels.
7.4 Major and minor defects should be listed on a chart to provide a clear overview of
quality to allow the BRAND to analyze the inspection data effectively. The zone where
the defect is located should be listed on the report along with the photo reference if
applicable. See Appendix B for a complete list of apparel major/minor defects and
Appendix C for defect zones.
7.4.1 Critical Defect: Any defect or feature of the product that may pose a safety
hazard to the customer. Zero tolerance will be applied to the acceptable
quantity of critical defects found within a shipment.
7.4.2 Major Defect: Anything that adversely affects the appearance, performance
including fit or customer satisfaction to a degree that would provide a
discerning customer with justification of non-purchase, a return or a complaint
or would be considered not commercially acceptable
7.4.3 Minor Defect: Any variation from the standard that is not sufficient in degree
to be classified as major and that would not provide a discerning customer with
justification for non-purchase a return or complaint.
7.5 Labeling information should be checked against the information provided by the
BRAND. If a label is missing, wording is misspelled or wording is not legible, this is
considered a major defect. Labeling shall be checked on all units in the sampling
4
7.6 Items sold as a set such as a swim suit, pajama or dress/jacket ensemble must be
counted as 1 unit. Sample size does not increase.
7.7 Inspection results are to be reviewed with the factory manager upon completion and a
signed draft copy of the inspection report left with the factory.
7.8 Upon completion of the inspection, Inspector should email the signed draft report to
the BRAND contact for reference.
7.9 Finalized typed inspection reports must be emailed to the appropriate BRAND contact
by the inspector within 24 hours of completion of the inspection. See Appendix D for
BRAND contacts.
7.10 The factory may not ship until the report is reviewed by the BRAND QA and an
acknowledgment is transmitted.
8.0 GARMENT MEASUREMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

Please refer to Appendix A for the sampling size required for the measurement portion of the
inspection; all sizes and colors must be proportionately represented in the measurement
sampling. The BRAND specific graded measurement sheet must be used to verify
measurements. See Appendix E for Key Points of Measure.
8.1 Tolerances on the BRAND specific graded measurement sheet will be used to
determine measurement defects.
8.2 If a garment has more than one point of measure out of the allowable tolerance the
garment with the measurement defect(s) is only counted once.
8.3 Measurement discrepancies should be evaluated separately from visual or

workmanship defects; therefore, measurements out of tolerance should not be
included in the workmanship defect count.
8.4 For inspections rejected due to measurement, all garments with the measurement
defects must be sent to the BRAND for review, at the Vendor/Factory expense.
Representative samples should be marked appropriately with defect stickers and
should not be removed prior to shipping the requested samples. For workmanship
defects representative samples are to be included in sealed package and processes for
shipment by factory while inspector is present. Inspector must include airway bill /
shipment number in final inspection report.
9.0 REPORTING
The draft report and all units with defects must be reviewed with the factory manager. The
signed drafted copies should be left with the factory and emailed to the BRAND contact for
reference upon completion. A finalized typed report should be submitted within 24 hours to
the BRAND, Vendor and Factory.

9.1 MEASUREMENT SHEETS

The BRAND measurement and tolerances will be used to determine any measurement
defects. Key points of measure and tolerance are documented on the measurement
sheet
9.1.1 A copy of the measurement specification sheet in the BRAND format must
accompany the measurement data in the final inspection report.
9.1.2 Measurement sheets must be legible with the key points of measure clearly
written, including tolerance. Indicate size, color and actual measurement
should all be noted.
9.2 GARMENT AND FABRIC DEFECTS

Defects are categorized as critical, major or minor depending on the severity.
9.2.1 To determine whether a defect is major or minor, the following factors will be
considered:
 Whether the defect will render the item unsalable.
 The severity of the defect.
 The location of the defect on the item.
9.2.2 Defects should be identified by an arrow sticker pointing to the defected area
and a photo should be submitted with the inspection report. Stickers must not
leave a residue or mark on the item.
9.2.3 Photos should clearly depict all defects identified in the report. If multiple
garments are found with the same type of defect only one photo is sufficient.
In cases when there is a variance in the severity of a specific defect multiple
photos are required.
9.3 LABELS
Garment labels should be compared to the reference sample and /or the BRAND
approved Tech pack.
9.3.1 The BRAND name on the main label along with the care instructions, the fiber
content and the factory ID # should match the information in the pre-
inspection documents. Any discrepancies must be noted as a major defect.
9.3.2 Photos of all labels are required in the photo section of the inspection report
9.4 PRICE TICKETS

The price tickets on each inspected unit must match the information on the PO
(Manufacturer #, class, style #, price, color code).
9.4.1 Any discrepancies must be noted as a major defect.

9.4.2 Price tickets should not be scanned but should be noted if information is not
legible or barcode is missing. This should be counted as a major defect.
9.4.3 Photos of tickets are required in the photo section of the inspection report
6
9.5 CARTONS
Carton numbers must be recorded; any discrepancies should be noted on the
inspection report as data and not counted as a defect.
9.6 REQUIRED PHOTOS

9.6.1 Photos should be clear so that the defect is identifiable.

9.6.2 Photos should be named according to the photo template.
9.6.3 Photos named as other should be clearly defined.
10.0 RE-INSPECTION
Re-inspections are to be conducted after the factory has failed an inspection. Goods must
be sorted 100% and the complete shipment reworked. The inspection company will post
on shared portal when the re-inspection date has been confirmed.
