Title:
Different Fabric grading systems used in apparel
industry

Introduction:
1. Inspection in reference to the apparel industry can be defined as
the visual examination or review of raw materials partially finished
components of the garments. It also examines completely finished
garments by measuring the garments to check if they meet the
required measurements, in relation to some requirements,
standards or specifications.
2. The main objective of inspection is the detection of the defects and
nonconformance's as early as possible in the manufacturing
process so that time and money are not wasted later on in either
correcting the defect or writing off defective garments.

BENEFITS:
 The main objective of the inspection is the detection of defects and
non-conformance as early as possible in the manufacturing process.
 Minimizing the time and money wastage by correcting the defective
raw materials.
 Fabrics supplied to customers meet their specifications and standards;
thereby they face less customer returns and recalls.
 Fabric inspection ensures to minimize the rejection of cut panels or
rejected garments due to fabric faults.
 Cutting inspected and approved fabric ensures not only finished
garment quality but also reduces rejects, improves efficiency and
timely deliveries.
FABRIC INSPECTION SYSTEM:
There are various fabric inspection systems. Some commonly used Inspection systems are

 4- Point system.
 10-Point System.
 Graniteville “78” system
 Dallas system

4-POINT SYSTEM:
 The 4-Point System, also called the American Apparel Manufacturers
(AAMA) point-grading system for determining fabric quality, is widely
used by producers of apparel fabrics 
 The 4-Point System assigns 1, 2, 3 and 4 penalty points according to
the size and significance of the defect. No more than 4 penalty points
can be assigned for any single defect. Defect can be in either length or
width direction, the system remains the same. Only major defects are
considered. No penalty points are assigned to minor defects.
 In this system, one should inspect at least 10 percent of the total rolls in
the shipment and make sure to select at least one roll of each color way.
 Fabric defects are assigned points based on the following:

10 POINT SYSTEM:
 Under the Ten-Point System, a piece is graded a "first" if the total
penalty points do not exceed the total yardage of the piece. A piece is
graded a "second" if the total penalty points exceed the total yardage of
the piece.
 Penalty points are assigned as per the following:

Graniteville “78” system:


This system was basically established for garment cutting components, in
which the short length faults less than 9″ would normally be removed. The
system aims to balance the significance of longer defects (over 9″) and place
less weight on 1–10″ faults such as slubs. The system recommends the
viewing distance of 9′ instead of the normal 3′ distance.

Assignment of Points in Graniteville “78” System:


Dallas system:
The Dallas system was introduced in the 1970s and it was developed
particularly for knitted fabrics. According to this inspection method, if any
fault was observed on a finished garment, then the garment would be called
‘seconds’. It describes the seconds as ‘more than one defect per ten linear
yards, determined to the nearest ten yards’. For example, one piece 60 yards
long would be allowed to have six defects.

Conclusion:
It is the responsibility of both the textile supplier and garment manufacturer
to inspect all textiles to ensure their compliance with the buyer standard.
Textile which are being exported to another country for use in the assembly
of a finished product are required to be inspected by the buyer’s designed
inspection service prior to shipment.
