Tested at every stage.
From raw fibre intake through final inspection, every stage of our production has defined tests with measurable pass criteria — verified before any batch moves on.
Every batch, every stage — verified by hand.
Quality Philosophy
QC is not a final gate.
Quality is embedded at every stage of our production process — fibre intake through finishing. Each material and product is checked against defined parameters before it moves to the next stage. Failure at any gate halts the batch. Two of the finishing readings below are set by the finishing operations themselves: decatizing is what takes the residual shrinkage out of woven cloth, and shearing the pile to a level height is what leaves fewer loose fibre ends to pill.
Inspection Record
Five stages, sixteen tests.
Each production stage carries defined tests with measurable pass criteria. Below: the sheet that travels with every batch.

Laboratory
Measured, not estimated.
Our three in-house laboratories run on Mesdan Lab instrumentation — Italian textile testing equipment used at every stage of production and on every batch that passes through the factory. Fibre and yarn are put on the instruments rather than judged by hand, so a specification is either met or it is not.
Because the same instruments are used from fibre intake through finishing, the readings on the inspection record above are directly comparable across stages and between batches — which is what makes a specification reproducible on a repeat order.
- Yarn count
- Thread thickness verified against the specified Nm on every spun batch.
- Fibre fineness
- Micron measured on every intake lot and checked against our grading bands before the fibre is accepted.
- Twist & evenness
- Twist per metre and yarn regularity checked before knitting or weaving.
- Strength
- Tensile behaviour of yarn tested so it holds through knitting and wear.
Independent Verification
Measured here, confirmed independently.
Nothing goes to the outside laboratory that we do not already measure here. Every test in the standard set runs on our own instruments first — the accredited laboratory confirms those readings rather than producing them. That is the point of the arrangement: an in-house reading is only worth as much as the instrument behind it, so the same laboratory that verifies our fibre, yarn and colour also helps us calibrate and cross-check our own equipment. The readings on the record above are set against an accredited reference, not against our own judgement.
Testing is carried out at an accredited laboratory at the Mongolian University of Science and Technology in Ulaanbaatar, whose scope covers fibre, yarn, fabric, dyeing and chemical analysis. The relationship runs both ways — they test our material, and they help keep our own instruments honest.
Run as standard
These run on our own production whether or not a customer asks for them. We do it to hold our own quality rather than to produce paperwork, which is why it happens on every programme — including the ones where nobody ever requests the data.
- Fibre identity & fineness
- Mean fibre diameter by OFDA and by light microscope · mean fibre length · coarse-hair content to MNS 3913:2009 and MNS 2949:2008 · vegetable-matter content
- Composition & blend ratio
- Fibre composition by microscopy, by number of components · quantitative composition by chemical analysis, so a stated blend ratio is independently verified rather than asserted
- Yarn
- Linear density in metric count · twist · breaking strength and elongation · moisture content
- Colour
- Colourfastness to washing, to rubbing dry and wet, to perspiration on six-fibre multifibre, to water, to dry cleaning and to ironing
Available on your programme
Anything within the laboratory’s accredited scope can be run on your fibre, yarn or finished garments and reported to you. Tell us what your own compliance team needs and we will quote the testing alongside the production.
- Wear performance
- Pilling · dimensional change after washing · abrasion resistance · air permeability · thermal properties
- Chemical safety
- Formaldehyde content · pH
- Process integrity
- Keratin damage, which measures whether processing has degraded the fibre · scouring yield
- Forensic & advanced
- SEM-EDS surface and elemental analysis · single-fibre strength and elongation
Reports on request
Test records are held per lot and per stage, and issued on request rather than automatically with every shipment. Ask during development, before shipment, or afterwards for your own audit file, and we will supply the reports for your lots.
National Standards
Product quality certified to MNS 6809:2019 & 5820:2007.
MNS 6926:2021 is Mongolia’s national standard for sustainable textile production — environmental and social performance across the whole facility. Product quality is certified separately: MNS 6809:2019 for knitted and woven finished goods and MNS 5820:2007 for cashmere yarn, both on accredited laboratory testing.
The checks listed alongside are ours — the intake grading that decides whether incoming material is accepted, downgraded, or rejected. Conformity of the yarn and the finished garment is certified separately under MNS 5820:2007 and MNS 6809:2019, on accredited laboratory testing.
What the standard verifies
- Fibre fineness verification
- Cleanliness and vegetable matter content limits
- Compositional purity (cashmere content percentage)
- Fibre length distribution requirements
- Moisture content allowances
