TESTING AND TESTING TIMELINES
Click on the below link to access the DXL Group Quality Assurance Test Manual, Test Protocols, TRF, FRI and Fabric Inspection process requirements/forms, and all other Vendor Compliance Requirements.
http://www.destinationxl.com/media/content/vendors/
All initial or first tests will be paid by the DXL Group; applicable to Global Sourcing Direct vendors only. All retest invoices are the responsibility of the Vendor.
As a vendor to DXL Group, you are fully responsible for all fabric, garment, trim/component, labels (locally sourced) and special claims testing of production merchandise. All must pass or be approved by the DXL Group QA team before production and shipment can occur. The best timing for fabric and trim/component testing is after the bulk submissions have been approved by the DXL Group and within at least 45-60 days of the xfactory date. The best timing for garment testing is after the PP/TOP samples have been approved by the DXL Group and within at least 30-45 days of the xfactory date.
Fabric testing timeline is required every 6 months for each style/color/fabrication, and/or when changes have been made in production or the supplier has changed.
Trim/Component/Elastic/Label testing timeline is required every 12 months for each garment trim/component/label and/or when changes have been made in production or the supplier has changed.
Garment testing timeline is required every 6 months for each style/fabrication in one color only.
Belts/Suspenders/Metal Accessories/Neck Ties testing timeline is required every 12 months.
The timelines are applicable to all DXL Group brands/styles including Core and E3 Replenishment Programs. Analytical Testing - OEKO-TEX certificate: Analytical (chemical) testing determines if harmful chemicals are present in DXL Group products; and ensures compliance with U.S. and International regulations. An OEKO-TEX certificate verifies an item is certified free of harmful chemicals and is safe for human use. Regarding testing, an OEKO-TEX certificate will exempt most chemical tests, therefore, all vendors/suppliers of DXL Group fabrics, trim/components, logos, labels, etc. must provide DXL Group a copy of each associated OEKO-TEX certificate and must also include a copy with each test submission to BV. If the certificate is not provided to BV, the submitter will be responsible for the cost of the chemical tests. Nickel Leaching: Any metal trim/component in direct contact to the skin which results in a positive nickel spot
test will require a full Nickel Leaching test at the expense of the vendor.
Page 6 of 72 February 2020 Version 5
AZO Dye Colorants: DXL Group requires that all products are AZO Free or within the AZO Dye Colorant maximum requirement of <30mg/kg.
Formaldehyde Content: DXL Group requires that all products in direct contact with the skin are within the formaldehyde content maximum requirement of 75 mg/kg.
Lead Testing: Any applicable surface coating or substrate lead test result must not exceed the maximum allowable limits.
California Proposition 65: All products will be reviewed against the requirements of California Proposition 65 to determine testing applicability.
Heavy Metals content in packaging materials per Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation per the Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) requirements. All packaging materials must pass the TPCH requirements. Vendors must provide evidence of compliance in the form of a certificate from an accredited testing laboratory for any locally sourced packaging. This test will be at the expense of the vendor.
Fabric Testing: All fabrics used in DXL Group products must be tested per the appropriate protocol and meet DXL Group standard test requirements. The supplier’s OEKO-TEX certificate must be provided to DXL Group and included with every BV submission. Bulk production cannot proceed without DXL Group review and approval. Fabric testing is required every 6 months for each style/color/fabrication, and/or when changes have been made in production or the supplier has changed. Full fabric test is only required on one color of the same fabrication. All other colors of the same fabrication should be tested for “Additional Color” test only.
Development Stage: Newly developed fabrics must go through our specification and quality testing to verify the proper fabric properties, finishes and performance.
Production Fabric Stage: Production fabric testing must be conducted on approved bulk fabric of the correct construction, color, finish, etc. All bulk fabric testing should be completed and approved prior to bulk ex-mill. Bulk fabric testing should be planned accordingly and test results received within at least 45-60 days from x-mill date so not to delay bulk garment cutting and sewing. The final test report will help determine/verify the care instructions and fiber content labeling for the garment. Bulk fabric must not be cut until written approval is issued by DXL Group.
Fabric used in Color-Blocked Garments: Fabrics must be in the form of a color blocked mock-up and tested for colorfastness per the care instructions and colorfastness to water to ensure self-staining does not occur.
Fabrics containing Wicking and/or Anti-fade finishes: the fabric mill must try to submit every color in one submission to Bureau Veritas for testing. Example: If your order for style KT-1000 includes 20 colors, all 20 colors should be sent together on one trf for testing, if possible.
Fabric produced for Garment Wash programs: The fabric mill must send the garment factory two (2) square yards of all colors or the entire shipment if produced in a timely fashion, so the factory can perform the garment wash process. Once the garment wash process is complete, the garment factory will be responsible to send the fabric in all colors to Bureau Veritas for fabric testing. The fabric mill should advise the factory as to what testing package is required, such as fabric test, additional color test and/or any special claims.
Page 7 of 72 February 2020 Version 5
Trim/Component Testing: ALL trims/components used on DXL Group products must be tested separately per their respective protocol. The supplier’s OEKO-TEX certificate must be provided to DXL Group and BV. Trim testing should be planned accordingly and test results received within at least 45-60 days from x-factory date so not to delay bulk garment cutting and sewing. Bulk production cannot proceed without DXL Group review and approval. Trim/Component testing is required every 12 months, and/or when changes have been made in production or the supplier has changed. Full trim test is only required on one color of the same fabrication. All other colors of the same fabrication should be tested for “Additional Color” test only. YKK Brand products are EXEMPT from testing.
Zippers: DXL Group preferred supplier is YKK. Vendor local manufacturing brands will be accepted based on a passing test report from Bureau Veritas and the supplier’s OEKO-TEX certificate.
Shank Buttons: DXL Group preferred supplier is Scovil. However, vendor local manufacturing brands will be accepted based on a passing test report from Bureau Veritas and the supplier’s OEKO-TEX certificate.
Non-Breakable Buttons for the Dress Shirt Program: Dress shirt buttons must pass the non-breakable button test as well as all other applicable button tests. See button protocol for test requirements.
Knit/Mesh Lining Insert Trim Fabric (Jacket Relaxer) used for Sport Coats and Suit Jackets: conduct colorfastness to crocking and perspiration only. See requirements in the trim/component protocol.
A new protocol, 808 Rib Cuffs /Collars /Bottom Hems /Bottom Bands, was added to Version 5 of the manual.
Garment Testing: Is carried out to ensure the fabric, components/trims and garment construction are compatible and meet DXL Group quality performance standard requirements. The garment test assesses and verifies the garment performance, labeling and restricted substance conformance. Bulk production cannot proceed without DXL Group review and approval. Garment testing is required every 6 months for each style/fabrication in one color only.
Full garment testing is required on one color of each style using both approved bulk fabric and trims. However, if a garment is color-blocked, a full garment test is required on one color combination and colorfastness only for each additional color combination.
All production styles have to be garment tested as soon as bulk fabric, trims/components and labels become available to factory. Garment Testing should be completed at a minimum of 30-45 days prior to x-factory. At times, we may require garment testing during the sampling stage to verify its performance and functionality.
Sweater Testing: Full testing for sweaters must be conducted on complete garments. Knit-down panels can be used for additional color testing.
The vendor is responsible to notify labs regarding appropriate protocol, and all special claims as applicable in the garment stage, to ensure that proper testing is performed according to DXL Group requirements. If the garment contains a belt, Protocol 805 must be conducted.
Durable Press testing for wrinkle resistant/non-iron/easy care claims is conducted in both the fabric and garment test packages. All other claims testing are required on the fabric only, unless otherwise instructed.
Repeat styles require testing every 6 months if produced by the same factory unless agreed upon by DXL Group Quality Assurance. Any change of fabric mill, factory, supplier, trim, component, label, etc. before the 6 month period will require immediate full testing.

The additional performance tests for the Premium Pants is included in the new protocol 809 Premium Pants - Additional Performance Tests, page 68.
Care/Fiber Content Booklet and Heat Transfer Label (HTL): the layout with the correct wording must be submitted to the QA team [email protected] for approval before placing the final order with your supplier. Packaging Materials Testing (polybags, ink, inserts, stickers, etc.): All packaging materials must be tested for Heavy Metals content per Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation/ Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse (TPCH) requirements. All packaging materials (polybags, ink, inserts, stickers, etc.) must pass the TPCH requirements. Vendors must provide evidence of compliance in the form of a certificate or test report confirming compliance; from both nominated and locally sourced packaging suppliers. Labels/Logo Stamp Testing: Garment Sewn-On Labels/Heat Transfer Labels/Size Labels/Care Booklets/Brand Labels/Logo Prints or Stamps/Etc., must pass DXL Group requirements per protocol 800. Testing is required every 12 months, and/or when changes have been made in production or the supplier has changed. For heat transfer labels or any stamps printed directly onto the garment fabric, the durability wash test (one color only) must be tested on the correct fabric quality. All label suppliers or vendors must ensure testing per DXL Group label protocol is conducted either internally or at a BV location. The supplier’s OEKO-TEX certificate must be provided to DXL Group and BV, if available. Testing is required initially, after testing report has expired and when changes in production are made or the supplier has changed. DXL Group reserves the right to reject any shipment if the testing program was not followed or test results were not accepted by DXL Group.
