INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION This manual illustrates QVC’s performance standards and test methods for various QVC Apparel and Home textiles products. It contains standard testing methods as well as requirements for various products, providing a summary of QVC’s expectations in terms of performance and compliance for such products. Vendors should be aware of QVC’s quality expectation level prior to negotiating prices, price commitments and order agreements. As such, QVC products specifications are provided to all QVC vendors.

Reduced Quantities testing Procedure:Reduced Quantities testing Procedure:Reduced Quantities testing Procedure:Reduced Quantities testing Procedure:
To minimise the cost involved with testing QVC is introducing reduced testing based upon the quantities ordered per sku/style. Please refer to the below before requesting your testing on any apparel or home textile product. • Under 50 units (combined total for all colour options) – Fibre
composition and any other legislative testing only (no colour fastness or stability testing is required)
• 50-249 units (combined total for all colour options) – Fibre composition and any other legislative tests plus stability on one colour option and colour fastness testing ( no colour fastness to light) to be completed on the darkest colour option only.
• 250-499 units (combined total for all colour options) – Fibre composition and any other legislative tests plus stability testing on one colour option and colour fastness testing on all colour options but no colour fastness to light testing necessary.
• >500 units and TSV’s (combined total for all colour options) – All compulsory testing as per performance specification plus additional appearance after wash test.
• Any claims that are being made about a product i.e. a stipulated thread count or water resistance, regardless of quantities ordered must also be tested and substantiated.
• On occasion, QVC may deem it necessary to request additional testing on certain products that fall outside of the above guidelines.

DIRECTIVE 73/44/EEC AND DIRECTIVES 96/73/EC AND 2008/121/EC OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL.
Dear Vendor, Please be advised of the above legislation changes which have now been introduced within the European Union and comes into force on the 8
th May 2012.
There are several changes within the standard but the main one concerns any products that you supply QVC that contain either leather or suede components. In these instances the fibre composition label must carry the normal % breakdown of the components used but must also state at the top of the fibre comp label ‘CONTAINS NONCONTAINS NONCONTAINS NONCONTAINS NON----TEXTILE PARTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN’ TEXTILE PARTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN’ TEXTILE PARTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN’ TEXTILE PARTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN’ See diagram below. . . . It will be illegal to sell any product containing parts of animal origin without this information.
From the 1
st December 2011 we require any products containing leather or suede
that are submitted through QA to be carrying this information on the fibre composition labels or we will not be able to issue you a conditionally accepted FPI.
Please note that the directive set out above will apply to all future sample orders placed and will form part of your purchase conditions with QVC. This letter should be signed by your authorised officer or representative to confirm that you understand and acknowledge the requirement either email to

INNER: 100%
