1. Garment design and production stages

Lists those factors to be taken into account in the manufacture of a garment that will affect its quality. These factors are linked to garment production. At each stage in production there is identified a group of standards relevant to quality and fitness for purpose for the materials or processes being used.

This British Standard provides guidance on relevant British Standards and factors concerned with quality to be considered at the various stages in the design and manufacture of all types of garment.
