Sample Collection
Sample Collection by an independent 3rd party helps ensure that samples really represent the material being processed and helps stop vendors from shipping a 'special' sample for testing. IDFL can visit factories, warehouses, and retail stores to randomly collect samples for testing.
Bulk Down and Feather Samples
IDFL will sample bags of bulk down according to IDFB sampling procedures. The material will be forwarded to IDFL for required testing.
Fabric Samples
A few swatches of fabric will be taken from bulk fabric rolls for testing in IDFL’s fabric lab.
Finished Product Sampling
IDFL will sample finished products from the production line or from boxes ready to ship. The sampling will be done according to IDFB sampling procedures or client specifications. Required testing will be completed on the selected products.
Retail Store Sampling
Clients can request IDFL to purchase samples from retail stores anywhere in the world. Products will be forwarded to IDFL for testing.
