 Testing Guideline
1. Quality standards need to be met for all product sold in TCP stores and websites.

2. Testing Stages

a. Base Fabric / Development Trim / Development Garment & Product:

Each new developed fabrication should be tested for full “base” package and additional tests
requested by TCP Fabric Tech team or Product Integrity team (if have).
b. Bulk Fabric /Bulk Raw Material / Trim (Stage 1) Test:
i. Testings on bulk fabric or bulk material should be done at its earliest convenience when the
bulk material is ready.
ii. Bulk test should be applied on each different fabrication / material type.
iii. Darkest color is preferred to be picked up for bulk full package test. Material with different
claimed fiber content / fabric weight / pattern / construction will be regarded as different
fabrication, and need to apply a full bulk fabric package.
iv. Bulk Additional Colorway packages will be applied on all other colorways. Material with same
fabrication but only each different colored dyes / prints will be regarded as an additional
colorway, and need to apply an additional colorway package.
c. Bulk Garment / Bulk Production Goods (Stage 2) Test:
i. Testings should be done on bulk production samples BEFORE 20% bulk production.
ii. Bulk garment / production good tests should be applied on each different styles. If the main
fabric / material has different fabrication, it will be regarded as different style and need to
apply a full bulk garment test package. If the main fabric / material has same fabrication, but
only each different colored dyes / prints / appliques / trims, this style will be regarded as an
additional colorway, and need to apply an additional colorway package.
iii. Darkest color is preferred to be picked up for bulk garment full package test. Bulk Garment
Additional Colorway packages will be applied on all other colorways.
iv. All testing reports on bulk fabric and trims should be provided to labs when request bulk
garment / production tests, and such testing report numbers should be referred on the
production stage testing reports.
v. Only when stage 1 fabric or material test passed or overrode, vendor could submit stage 2
production test. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 tests are only allowed to be tested at the same time
with TCP’s written approval.
d. Inline:
i. Inline test should be performed on the sample drawn from inline bulk production if order
unit per style (per colorway) ≥ 20,000 piece.
ii. Testings should be done on bulk production samples AFTER 50% bulk production.

e. TCP Audit:
TCP will select among all material or products on a random basis to do selected tests.

3. Test Specification Selection

a. Tests should be conducted by using the “testing protocols” per its product category. If the product
also contains the functions/components which fall into more than one “testing protocols”, all such
protocols should be applied. For example, a bag with a plush bear outlooking, should be tested upon
both “bag” and “plush toy” protocols.
b. All tests in each “testing protocol” should be tested in a package, no partial tests are allowed except
with written approval from TCP.
c. If the testing report is “critical failed”, the submitter must fill in Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and got
TCP’s approval, and retest. Filled CAPs are only needed for bulk and inline tests.

VERSION 7.9 Page 3 of 62

 4. Report Valid Period

a. Base fabric report: One year if sample is under same quality / color /manufacturing.
b. Bulk fabric report: One year if sample is under same quality / color /manufacturing.
c. Production garment report: One year if samples are under same color /quality/ manufacturing.
d. Trims: One year if sample is under same quality / color/manufacturing, except heat transfer label or
any print label is for one season.

5. TCP Seasons:
Spring, Summer, Fall / BTS (back-to-school), Holiday

6. TCP Age Groups:

a. Newborn: 0-24M
b. Toddler Girl/Boy: 6M-6T
c. Big Girl/Boy: 4+
d. Big Kid: refers to Big Girl / Big Boy
e. Gymboree Girl/Boy: 12M-14
f. SNJ Girl: 5-22
g. Adult/Men/Women: 16+
h. Pet

7. Default Care Instruction

All tests should follow TCP suggested care instructions (“TCP care recommendation” file is posted on
Vendor Cloud).

8. Submitted Testing Sample

a. All submitted samples must have treatments (including but not limited to pre-washings, finishes,
prints, embroidery) by the actual method using in bulk production, to ensure represent bulk quality
sample submitted for testing. For example, a base/bulk denim fabric should be washed by the actual
treatment method as bulk denim garment needed to be treated.
b. For denim or washed garment washing, if the mill can’t know the actual wash at an early stage, they
could use a default washing condition shown here, enzyme wash for 30 mins for light weight fabric
(<7 oz/sq.yd) or 45 mins for heavy weight fabric (≥7 oz/sq.yd).

9. Testing Service Providers

All tests should be done in either TCP approved 3rd party testing service providers or TCP accredited
inhouse laboratories.
a. 3rd Party Testing Service Providers
i. China Tag-on testings should be conducted in Intertek (ITS) Shanghai (all products except
sunglasses/footwear), ITS Wenzhou (sunglasses only), or ITS Guangzhou (footwear only).
ii. Other all testing & inspection (except above point i) for TCP (including Gymboree), should be
in either ITS or BV.
iii. All approved BV/ITS labs are listed in ““Section 3 – Product Safety > 01 – General Testing >
Lab Info” session posted in Vendor Cloud.
b. Inhouse Accredited Laboratories:
i. The accreditation should be within valid date while the inhouse reports are issued.
ii. All valid accredited inhouse laboratories are listed in “Section 3 – Product Safety > 04 –
Inhouse Lab Accreditation” session in Vendor Cloud.

 10. Chemical (RSL) Testings

a. Non-footwear products: If Azodyes, Total Cadmium, Total Lead, Chromium VI, Phthalates, Nickel
Release, & Soluble Heavy Metals have proceeded in Stage 1 (bulk fabric or material) or trim stage, it is
not necessary to proceed test in Stage 2 (bulk production) again. Vendor needs to provide valid fabric
stage reports, and lab should quote such report number in the garment testing reports.
b. Footwear: If Azodyes, Nickel Release, & Soluble Heavy Metals proceeded in Stage 1 (bulk fabric or
material) or trim stage, it is not necessary to proceed test in Stage 2 (bulk production) again. Total
Cadmium, Total Lead, Chromium VI and Phthalates tests needed to be done in both stages.
c. Chemical test (lead/cadmium/phthalate) test on graphic print garment :We would not accept
chemical test on lead/cadmium/phthalate on graphic print in fabric form, but we allow vendor to
submit all garment styles together so vendor can able to proceed combine test on chemical test on
print on bulk garment.

11. All Lab-Dip Colour recipes should be tested by Fabric Mill to TCP standards before submitting for approval.

12. Trim Testing

a. For garment styles contained below hard trims (Jeans Button, Rivet, Eyelets, Snap Button, Snapet,
Hook & Eye), vendor need to send garment mock-up to YKK conduct GCR (Garment Check &
Recommendation) test, and provide “GOOD” GCR report for the specific “Style”, before they could
start Bulk Garment Testing.
b. For trim testing, Chemical, washing, colorfastness should be performed on one selective size but all
colors, and physical test should be performed on all size but only one selected color (prefer darkest or
specific by TCP).

13. China Tag-on Testing

For products ship to China market, China Tag-on tests are needed to be arranged. Detailed information
could refer to TCP’s China Tag-on manual.

14. Family Grouping

We allowed products within a family to group together for testing. In such cases, vendors should send all
product samples to lab for final decision whether such family grouping is allowed. Below are some
examples we allowed family grouping.
a. Different styles which are exactly same but only for different age grade. For example, garment for
toddlers and for big kids.
b. Different styles by using same fabric with similar construction. For example, T-shirt with only different
length. Or similar garments only with or without a trim bow.
c. For sleepwear / underwear / soft accessory / hard accessory / etc., all these products are not tested at
fabric stage but only garment stage. We allow common material of these products to be tested only
once. For example, knit hat / muffler / mitten /etc., used same knit fabric could be tested in a group.
d. For bags, we have “raw material / component” stage and “production” stage tests in family grouping
approach, which is applied normally for Back-to-school program. Different types of products by using
common material could be tested in a group. For example, backpack / lunchbox / pencil bag /etc.,
used common shell /lining / trim material could be grouped. In this case, all common material will be
tested at “raw material /component” stage. And only product related testings will be done on each
different product types.

3.7 Testing Requirements – Special Function
* Test only if claimed corresponding “marketing claims” as shown in “testing reports requested on” column.
* Only main body fabric and main lining should be tested if claimed (if not specified in “testing reports requested on” column).
* Test one colorway for each fabrication (if not specified in “testing reports requested on” column).
* Test on fabric stage (if not specified in “testing reports requested on” column). And if there are any finishing / treatment applied on garment stage
(such as garment wash, garment dye, printing, enzyme finishing, etc.), test should be applied on garment stage again.
* Test on development fabric stage should be on initial and after-5-wash samples, test on bulk fabric stage should be on initial only (if not specified in
“testing reports requested on” column, eg. water resistant).
* If test failed on initial sample, there is no need to do following tests on after-5-wash samples. This approach applies to all functional tests.
