Textiles & RMG

Buyer audits, boiler safety and the electrical load behind every shift.

Ready-made garments is the sector where measurement is most often audited by somebody other than the regulator. International buyers send their own inspectors, and those inspectors ask for calibration certificates by name.

The instruments that matter here are rarely exotic. They are the meters checking that a boiler gauge reads true, that a dyeing bath is at the temperature the recipe assumes, and that the switchboard feeding four hundred machines is not running hot.

What this sector has to measure

Buyer and compliance audits

Certificates with as-found values, stated uncertainty and traceability — the three things an auditor checks and the three most commonly missing.

Boiler and steam safety

Pressure gauges and temperature instruments verified against a reference, not against each other.

Electrical load and safety

Insulation resistance, earth continuity and thermographic surveys of the distribution feeding production floors.

Process consistency

Temperature and humidity logging through dyeing, drying and finishing, so a failed batch can be explained.
