THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Describe the contact situation and product components of concern, then ask the appropriate supplier or testing provider to define a relevant method. Record the material, colour and result scope. Do not assume that a colour approved visually has also passed a transfer assessment.
The decision behind the detail.
Dark outer fabric, pale trim and packing surfaces may create different questions. Identify the actual contact pair rather than requesting an undefined colourfastness promise.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Contact pair
- Name the materials or surfaces that may touch.
- Use conditions
- Describe the relevant handling or care situation.
- Evidence required
- State the assessment or report your team needs reviewed.
Check together
- Check the report covers the selected colour and material.
- Separate visual colour approval from performance evidence.
- Record unresolved transfer questions before production approval.
