Home/Compliance
If you sell apparel in Europe or North America, your supply chain is now part of your compliance position — and increasingly part of your public disclosure. We build the documentation alongside the goods so you are not chasing us for evidence weeks later.
Our position
Certification claims are easy to make on a website and expensive to get wrong. Below, we separate what is already in place from what is available on request, and what depends on which yarn mill supplies a given order. If a specific certificate is a hard requirement for your file, raise it at the brief stage and we will confirm it in writing before you commit.
Documentation stack
Ordered by how often buyers actually ask for it. Anything marked "on request" is prepared per order rather than held on file.
| Document | Availability | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre composition report | Per order on request | Care labelling accuracy, marketplace and retailer listing requirements |
| Restricted substances statement AZO, formaldehyde, pH, heavy metals |
Per order on request | REACH awareness, retailer chemical policies, own-brand compliance files |
| Traceability file Fabric lot, dye lot, cutting and finishing records |
Per shipment | Your supplier transparency disclosures and product-level traceability data |
| Measurement report | Per shipment | Quality evidence, fit-dispute resolution, reorder consistency |
| AQL final inspection report | Per shipment | Retailer onboarding, marketplace quality documentation |
| ISO 9001 certificate | On file, shareable | Supplier qualification and vendor-registration processes |
| amfori BSCI audit report TUV Rheinland · full monitoring · Jul 2026 |
On file, shareable under NDA | Retailer and marketplace social-compliance onboarding, vendor registration |
| Fibre-identity certification GOTS, GRS, RWS and similar |
Subject to mill nomination | Sustainability claims, certified-collection labelling, green-marketing substantiation |
Chain-of-custody certificates belong to the yarn mill, not to us — nobody who only knits can legitimately issue them. Where your programme needs one, we will nominate a certified mill and pass the mill's certificate and transaction data through to you as part of the file.
amfori BSCI
A social audit result is easy to bury and expensive to have found for you. Our facility is audited annually against the amfori BSCI code of conduct; the most recent was a full, semi-announced monitoring audit carried out by TUV Rheinland in July 2026. Here is the headline, and the full report is available on request.
The audit assessed thirteen performance areas. Nine were assessed as A — including every category a retailer treats as a stop-line. An audit of this kind always produces findings; ours did, they are under corrective action with dates, and the complete report — findings and action plan included — is shared with buyers during supplier onboarding.
Every category a retailer treats as a stop-line — child labour, forced labour, discrimination, health and safety — was assessed A.
Buyers can verify the result directly on the amfori Sustainability Platform against the amfori ID opposite. The company is also registered on that platform as Jiangyin Xinni Garments Corp. Ltd., which is the name that appears on the audit record.
Europe
European textile rules have moved from labelling towards full lifecycle accountability. None of it changes what we knit — but all of it changes what a supplier has to be able to document.
Textiles are among the first product groups in scope under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. A passport is a machine-readable data record attached to a product covering composition, origin, repairability and end-of-life handling.
Our part: we hold and structure the manufacturing-side data — fibre composition, yarn origin, weight, construction, finishing processes — in a form that can be assembled into your passport entries. We cannot issue the passport; you or your compliance provider will. But the data has to come from us, and it is much cheaper to collect it now than to reconstruct it later.
The EU has moved to restrict the destruction of unsold apparel, with large companies in scope first. For a brand, that raises the cost of over-ordering.
Our part: small minimums and repeat-friendly construction. A low initial order that you can replenish is a materially better risk position than a large speculative buy — and it is the reason we pushed our minimums down rather than up.
Restricted substances, dye chemistry and finishing auxiliaries are the sharpest edge of EU textile compliance and the most common cause of a failed lab test.
Our part: documented dye and finishing processes, plus restricted-substance testing on request. Where a buyer's chemical policy is stricter than the legal baseline, tell us at the brief stage so we can select yarn and chemistry accordingly.
Several member states now levy charges on textile producers, and fibre-composition labelling accuracy is enforced through marketplace listings as well as physical labels.
Our part: fibre composition testing and accurate care-label data per order, so the figures on your listing match the goods in the box. That matters more than it sounds — mismatches are a standard enforcement trigger.
