SOFTLINES
In today’s highly complex and changing consumer marketplace, those in the softlines and textile industry – from manufacturers to retailers – need to be confident that the products they deliver to market meet acceptable standards.
Meeting these objectives is crucial, as non-compliant products risk being recalled, while poor quality can result in consumer dissatisfaction and product returns.
