1. GENERAL REMARKS
1.1 Supplier commitments
Suppliers commit themselves:

- To implement all the necessary means to guarantee that the production is meeting Kiabi
requirement.

- To guarantee the homogeneity of the production.

For any fail tests, supplier need to provide action plan and retest after implementation for shipment
validation.

- To use validated lab test result, particularly for composition and care instructions, in order to precise
compliant information on care label.

- To inform Kiabi BEFORE order, of any potential risk by using specific fabrics/trims/production
process not able to reach Kiabi requirements.

- If any failure of this instructions, or tests are not performed or do not meet Kiabi requirements, the
order can be cancelled.

1.2 Material testing

Supplier of finished products is responsible to insure that each fabric batch is respecting with Kiabi
specifications. Test to be performed on fabric are :
- appearance after wash (general aspects, dimensional stability, twisting and CF to washing)

For SD Labtest suppliers, Kiabi accept to receive these reports from supplier internal laboratories.
If no SD Labtest, supplier need to review with the mills to receive needed labtest report from them.
Labtest reports need to be sent to Kiabi merchandising team for 1st order / season / color.
If product concerns Kiabi nominated fabric, no need to send labtest report to Kiabi on fabric stage.
Anyway, composition test needs to be done at this stage in external Kiabi nominated laboratory.

1.3 Garment Testing rules

WHEN?: As a general rule, tests are requested as early as possible from the production to anticipate
any issues.

ON WHAT?: Test to be sent to Kiabi must be performed on finished product top of production
samples (TOPs) assembled with bulk materials and production trims by production machine (not
from sample room or other).

FREQUENCY?: Labtest report is in force for 1 season and respect following rules:
- 1st production lot:
Test need to be done in 3rd part lab.
Labtest need to be performed according full applicable test list (physical and chemical). Appearance
after wash, color fastnesses and chemical tests related to dyes will be performed on all colors.
Styles with same colors coming from the same fabric mill, Kiabi accept to have 1 labtest for all styles
for each concerned colors for appearance and chemical tests link to dying.
- Repeat orders:
A 4 weeks window on shipment date is consider as same batch of production. During this time, no
need to provide new labtest reports.
If supplier is not SD, If it is the same production batch number, no need to retest after 4 weeks as
the batch has been already tested.
If shipment overpassing this window, supplier need to provide for each shipment:
Appearance after wash tests
Pulling test if applicable for babies orders
For SD suppliers, Kiabi accept to receive labtest reports from supplier internal laboratory.
For other supplier, labtests need to be done in external Kiabi nominated laboratory.

WHO PICK SAMPLES?

By default, samples are picked by Kiabi Asia technical team or service providers technical team and
sent directly to the nominated laboratory with seal.
For SD Labtest suppliers: samples are picked by suppliers technical team.

TESTED SAMPLE ARCHIVED?: Tested samples shall be retained by the laboratory, one year.

IF FAIL RESULT?: any new submission needs to be done after corrective action plan. This CAP is
compulsory shared with Kiabi Asia / service providers technical services for agreement.
Supplier commit on consistency of quality on shipments. if fail tests are detected after delivery, Kiabi
reserve the right to remove the goods from shops to jobber at supplier expense. Supplier will ask 3rd
part sample pick up for 1 season at his expense and work on root cause for quick improvements.

1.4 Web orders

For this category of special orders and if impact of testing cost is too significative to apply usual Kiabi
testing plan.
In that case, Kiabi accepts to perform only regulation testing if quantity on style / season <1000p.

1.5 Tests report

The test report must clearly indicate the acceptance levels of Kiabi and if the product is compliant or
not to Kiabi requirements defined in this document.
A clear chart must precise each test performed and result (pass / fail).
For fail test, laboratory need to put photo of defects. For failed appearance after wash, photo before
and after wash need to be in the report

Test report spreading:

- For ITFAS order:
To supplier  systematic diffusion
To Kiabi Asia / Service Provider  systematic diffusion
To Kiabi Asia / Service Provider (SP) / SP tech services  diffusion for fail tests only

- For Bunsha order:

To supplier  systematic diffusion

1.6 Tests invoice from nominated lab

Tests are invoiced to supplier.
The cost of the tests is included in trade negotiations.

Spirality after washing

The method which permits to determine spirality is as follow:

- Measure the distance “ D ” (to nearest 1 mm) from the natural dried fold on the fabric square to the
inner edge of the seam for top items (see diagram).
For pants items, measure the distance “ D ” from the natural dried fold and the inside leg seam.
On garments these measurements are made at the hem.

- Calculate the percentage spirality i.e : 100 x “ D ”/ L

L corresponds to:
+ underharm to hem length after washing for top items.
+ inside leg seam after washing for pants items.

New side seam

D L Original inside leg seam

3.2 Durability tests

When it is asked from Kiabi, following durability tests need to be performed in order to guaranty best
in class products properties.
- Appearance after 20 washes.

General appearance, Spirality, Dimensional stability and color fastnesses will be performed
after 1, 3 , 5, 10, 15, 20 washes steps.
Results will be expressed on each steps.
Test methods and specifications will follow appearance after wash requirements. Drying will be done
only

6.1 KIABI Restricted Substance list (RSL)

AZO DYES AMINES AND ARYLAMINE SALTS
Azo dyes and pigments are colorants that incorporate one or several azo groups (-N=N-) bound with
aromatic compounds. Thousands of azo dyes exist, but only those which degrade to form the listed
cleavable amines are restricted. Azo dyes that release these amines are regulated and should no
longer be used for dyeing textiles.

CARCINOGENIC, ALLERGENIC AND HAZARDOUS DYES

Disperse dyes are a class of water soluble dyes that penetrate the fibre system of synthetic or
manufactured fibres and are held in place by physical forces without forming chemical bonds. Disperse
dyes are used in synthetic fibre (e.g., polyester, acetate, polyamide). Restricted disperse dyes are
suspected of causing allergic reactions and are prohibited from use for dyeing of textiles.

PHTALATES
Esters of ortho-phthalic acid (Phthalates) are a class of organic compound commonly added to
plastics to increase flexibility. They are sometimes used to facilitate the moulding of plastic by
decreasing its melting temperature. Phthalates can be found in: • Flexible plastic components (e.g.,
PVC) • Print pastes • Adhesives • Plastic buttons • Plastic sleevings • Polymeric coatings The listed

PAHs
PAHs are natural components of crude oil and are common residues from oil refining. PAHs have a
characteristic smell similar to that of car tires or asphalt. Oil residues containing PAHs are added to
rubber and plastics as a softener or extender and may be found in rubber, plastics, lacquers and
coatings. PAHs are often found in the outsoles of footwear and in printing pastes for screen prints.
PAHs can be present as impurities in Carbon Black. They also may be formed from thermal
decomposition of recycled materials during reprocessing

7. SELF DECLARATION (SD) LABORATORY PROCESS

7.1 Why this process

The objective of KIABI SD lab Certification Program is to maintain a base of supplier in-house laboratory
that is capable of accurately measuring and reporting the performance quality of KIABI product.

It is to ensure that all product testing performance is on behalf of KIABI that could meet the latest edition of
KIABI Testing Requirements in terms of :

• Accurateness
• Standardization
• Quality Consistency
• Increasing Flexibility

Advantages of having an approved in-house lab is to be able to increase the testing capacity and
to decrease the testing time (no longer need to wait for third party lab availability or publication of
results), which is both more practical and economic and also leads to a better control over
production quality and consistency.
Finally, a good running internal lab will further the bond between KIABI and its supplier increasing
their partnership.
Once the supplier receives the accreditation he is considered as a Kiabi Self-Declaration labtest
approved supplier.

able to apply. All the fees of the accreditation will be paid by the supplier.

Certificate:
The KIABI certificate will be issued once only and if supplier fulfils all the stages requirements of the
accreditation process. The valid period of KIABI Certificates is 12 months. On it will be clearly written:

• Address of accredited laboratory, Name of accredited technician and Accredited test items
• Level of accreditation (bronze, silver or gold)
• Certificate issued Date and Expired Date
• Signatures of both KIABI and 3rd part lab Representatives

IF A TRAINED TECHNICIAN LEAVES OR IS REPLACED BY SOMEONE WHO DID NOT

PARTICIPATE IN THE ON-SITE AUDIT, THE ACCREDITING ENTITY AND KIABI MUST BE
NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. A FURTHER CERTIFICATION VISIT OR TRAINING VISIT MAY NEED
TO BE ARRANGED.

Renewal of certification is at the end of the 12th month issued certificate period. Minimum entry
requirements must always be met, however, changes to the technician and/or the tests listed on
the application may be made at the time of renewal. A reminder that the certification is up for
renewal and renewal forms will be sent to each accredited in-house laboratory 3 months prior to the
year anniversary of the certification for a new 12 month renewal.

Control:
Correlation test will be performed by 3rd part lab for new accreditation or renewal.
A regular audit will be monitored by our technicians : at least once a year. During this audit, a special
care must be given to the calibration of the machines used in the laboratory. One should be run at
least once a year.*

7.4 Correlation tests

The specimens for correlation will be prepared by both applicant and the 3rd part lab. The specimen selected
at the factory must be sent to the 3rd part lab representative for process. The 1st correlation test cost is
included in the package price. A correlation test report will be issued.
For renewal, correlation tests are not automatically included in renewal of accreditation process. Correlation
tests can be added under Kiabi request according audits results or previous situation established by Kiabi
technicians

Here is the detailed actions of the correlation test :

•Three apparels or fabrics, in different fabrications and colours (a light weight, medium weight, heavy weight and stretchable fabrics shall be
included as possible), with sufficient amount of test samples
Samples to •Dark and medium shades must be used for correlation exercise
be tested

•The tests realised by both the applicant an the accrediting entity will be determined by the scope of testing covered under the accreditation
application
•The tests shall be completed with-in ten (10) working days and the test results and test specimens from KIABI’s laboratory will be sent to
Testing accrediting entity upon completion. The results will also be sent from the applicant to the accrediting entity

•The accrediting entity will review the test specimens and test results statistically to evaluate the performance of each test conducted by KIABI
•The accrediting entity will identify and provide solutions for any inconsistencies that are highlighted by the correlation study
Results

•A full summary of the correlation study will be prepared by accrediting entity, which will be sent to both KIABI and APPLICANT LAB, this
summary report should include accrediting entity recommendations whether the lab is approved or not
Final •If KIABI lab fails to meet the correlation requirements, the laboratory will be put on notice of warning. A second correlation must be
decision completed within two (2) months. If the results of this second correlation are also unsatisfactory, the accreditation will be withdrawn

7.5 Final decision

The on-site audit report and the Correlation Report will be evaluated by the 3rd part lab and Kiabi
Technical services. The evaluation will include

Accuracy of test results

Assessment of tested specimens
Compliance with prescribed test methods
Training of lab technicians
Proof of the completion of corrective actions outlined in the on-site audit report if any

7.6 SD Labtest cancellation cases after accreditation

If some quality issues are found on one of the supplier’s order, that have been tested in in house lab,
and the quality issue is directly linked to one of the test,
Or if flagrant non compliancy (process, calibration, trainings…) are detected

then the accreditation will be suspended for 3 month until correctiv actions satisfying Kiabi
process. In the contrary SD program will be cancelled.
