Before sampling, identify the selling market and age group, then review applicable rules for cords, detachable parts, zipper protection, chemicals, flammability where relevant, labels and tracking information with a qualified compliance resource.
Define age and market
A baby sunsuit and an older child's rash set have different risks. Requirements also vary by destination, so market is part of the design brief.
Remove avoidable hazards
Review long cords, loose toggles, detachable decorations, sharp edges and exposed zipper ends. Safety should be resolved before aesthetic sample approval.
Check function and comfort
Use zipper garages, soft bindings, secure closures and room for movement or diapers where needed. Evaluate the wet garment, not only the dry sample.
Build a compliance file
Keep material information, test reports, labels, supplier records and order traceability connected to the exact product. Ask a qualified specialist when legal interpretation is required.
