SUPPLIER-DRIVEN TESTING AND QUALITY
Supplier-driven testing programs generally follow this type of workflow:
- • Supplier submits sample and test request form (TRF) to lab, referencing applicable testing requirements and standards;
- • Lab performs testing according to lab SOPs and published standards;
- • Failing tests may lead to resampling/resubmission by supplier;
- • Report for passing tests sent by lab to supplier;
- • Final report sent by supplier to brand for documentation purposes.
