Buyer guide

What to check before approving a sample

A practical checklist for reviewing a design before production.

Sheeltex India · Trade buying resources

Check against a written specification

Compare the sample with the agreed dimensions, material information, colour reference and finishing details. Record the reference and revision you are reviewing.

Review appearance and intended use

Look at the product under suitable lighting and inspect the edges, backing and finish. Confirm any performance requirements with the supplier; an attractive photograph is not a test report.

Keep a clear approval record

Document required changes, photographs and the final approval. Confirm that the production specification, packing requirements and quotation reflect the approved version.

Keep one agreed reference

Record the sample code and revision, the date, the approved measurements and colours, and any outstanding changes. Ask for written confirmation that the quotation and production specification refer to that same approved version.

Product-specific requirements and commercial terms are confirmed with your quotation.
