Approach: the item, photographs, labels, markings, documents and description of the situation are analysed first; the appropriate format is then determined: telephone consultation, inspection record, specialist report, review or preparation of questions.

What can be checked

clothing after purchase, delivery, wear, washing or dry cleaning;
tailoring quality, seams, stitching, lining and fittings;
fabric defects, shrinkage, dye bleeding, pilling, tears and stains;
size, labelling, composition and care instructions;
items from online marketplaces, returns and clothing batches;
a report from a seller, dry cleaner, service centre or another specialist.

Scope of the work

Examinations are carried out within the scope of commodity science expertise. If fibre composition, colour fastness, fabric strength, chemical exposure or other specialised properties need to be determined, laboratory testing is considered separately.
