Quality Control
Quality is not a final gate at Myra — it is built in at every stage, from greige fabric to packed carton. Every bulk order is inspected on a sampling basis against internationally recognised AQL standards, so quality holds across the whole run, not just the approved sample.
AQL 2.5% major / 4% minor
Mil-Std 105E · ISO 2859-1
Seven-stage in-house control
Metal detection · every garment
Quality is checked at seven distinct stages between greige fabric and packed carton. Nothing leaves the facility without passing all of them.

Quality control at seven stages
- Greige fabric check — Fabric inspected on arrival, before any processing.
- 4-point fabric system — Industry-standard defect scoring applied to every roll.
- Pre-screening — Pre-production verification against the approved sample.
- In-line quality checks — Continuous checks at defined points during production, not only at the end.
- Finished quality checks — Garment-level inspection post-production.
- Quality audit and lab tests — Internal wash/shrinkage and fabric testings, audit and laboratory verification.
- Metal detection — Every finished garment passes metal detection before packing.

Measurement and shade matching

Specification checks
Finished garments are measured against the approved specification, so fit and construction hold across the full size run and repeat orders.

Colour checks
Fabric shade is approved under controlled lighting before bulk cutting, blankets are prepared where shade variation exists to understand tolerances and lots. Layer numbering to ensure matching.
Laboratory testing
Fabric and finished garments undergo independent SGS laboratory testing across physical performance, colour fastness and chemical safety — tested to each buyer’s protocol and destination-market limits before bulk is approved.
Colour fastness — washing
Colour fastness — water
Colour fastness — rubbing
Colour fastness — perspiration

Children’s safety testing
Children’s and safety-critical garments carry obligations well beyond adult apparel. We manufacture to internationally recognised children’s safety standards and check every programme against them before dispatch.
Cords & drawstringsNo knotted or 3D free ends, toggles only on secured cords, zip pullers ≤ 7.5 cm and no centre-front cord pullers.
Small partsComponents are tested so they cannot detach and become a choking hazard, using the small-parts test for ages up to three.
Sharp points & edgesSecure attachment of buttons, snaps and rivets, with strict needle and broken-pin control across the floor.
FlammabilitySleepwear and daywear built to reduced fire-hazard standards.
Metal detectionEvery finished garment passes metal detection before it is packed.
