Inspection
Inspection is the process of carefully examining a product, process, or system to ensure it meets specified requirements and quality standards. It often involves visual checks or using measurement tools.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Inspection is a systematic examination or measurement of a product, process, or service against specified requirements to determine conformity, often involving visual assessment, non-destructive testing, or metrological analysis to detect defects or deviations.
BACKGROUND
Fabric inspection, also known as fabric checking, is a systematic fabric evaluation in which defects are identified. Fabric inspection helps understand quality in terms of color, density, weight, printing, measurement, and other quality criteria prior to garment production. Fabric inspection takes place at various stages of manufacturing, including intermediate and final. "Perching" was another term for fabric inspection.
