The Knitwear Factory Audit Checklist
What to verify beyond the showroom: machines, QC, labour, certifications — and how on-site audits change the conversation.
By Puyuan Fashions Editorial
Before the visit
Collect business licence, export records, certificates and the gauge/yarn range you intend to use. Ask for the certificate numbers and audit dates, and confirm the site you are visiting is the one certified.
On the floor
Check machine counts and gauges against claims, look at the sample room, QC process and how defects are logged, and spot-check labour and safety conditions. An independent on-site audit — the platform's top verification level — turns this from a promise into evidence.
