Home Textile Inspection FAQs
Where in India do you inspect home textiles?▾
Our inspectors cover all major Indian home-textile hubs: Panipat (towels, blankets, throws — ~75% of India's exports), Karur (kitchen linen, table linen, bath mats), Bhadohi & Mirzapur (rugs & carpets), Solapur (terry towels), and Jaipur (block-print bed linen, cushions).
Do you check OEKO-TEX, GOTS and BCI compliance?▾
Yes. We verify on-file OEKO-TEX 100, GOTS, BCI and Bluesign certificates, audit chain-of-custody documents, and conduct pre-audit factory readiness checks for buyers requiring these certifications (M&S, IKEA, H&M Home, Target, Walmart).
What lab tests do you arrange for home textiles?▾
We coordinate accredited testing for ISO 105 colour fastness (wash, rub, light, perspiration), ISO 6330 shrinkage, ICI pilling, BS EN ISO 9073 absorbency for towels, and AATCC 135 dimensional change with SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek and TUV labs.
Can you inspect rugs and carpets in Bhadohi/Mirzapur?▾
Yes. Our rug specialists check KPSI knot density, pile height, latex backing adhesion, fringe integrity, dimensional accuracy, GoodWeave compliance and colour fastness. We also verify GoodWeave certification for child-labour-free supply chains.
What does a home textile inspection cost in India?▾
Standard PSI for home textiles is $220–$300 per man-day in Panipat, Karur and Solapur. Rugs in Bhadohi typically need 1–1.5 man-days due to KPSI counting. Reports delivered within 24 hours with 50–150 photos.
How does this compare to QIMA, SGS, Bureau Veritas and Intertek?▾
Global firms charge $300–$450 per man-day for home-textile PSI in India with 5–7 day lead times. We deliver ISO 105 / OEKO-TEX-aware inspections at $220–$300 with 24–48 hour scheduling — saving 30–40% with India-specialist Panipat, Karur and Bhadohi expertise.
