Fabric Certifications & Test Reports to Ask For
Which test reports and compliance documents to request for a specific fabric lot, and how to build a document matrix per style before you place the order.
Ask for the report tied to your lot
We do not claim blanket certification for the whole catalogue. The right approach is to tell us the documents your market and your end use require, and we will confirm what is available for the exact material and lot before you place the order.
A document matrix to work from
- Start from your destination market's legal list, not a generic badge
- Composition / fibre-content declaration
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 or equivalent harmful-substance testing
- REACH / SVHC for the EU, and any local chemical restrictions
- Colour-fastness to washing, rubbing and light
- Flammability where the end use is children's wear or decoration
- AZO dyes, formaldehyde and heavy-metal screens
- Physical tests: shrinkage, pilling, tear and tensile strength
- Ask for a report tied to the exact lot, with lab name and date
- Keep a document matrix per style and refresh it each season
Why the end use changes the file
Children's wear, decorative textiles and garments sold in the EU, US or Gulf markets do not need identical evidence. Build a one-page matrix per style, record the lab name and report date, and refresh it when the mill or substrate changes.
Physical tests worth requesting
Beyond chemical compliance, ask for shrinkage, pilling, tear strength and colour-fastness results. A fabric can pass a chemical screen and still fail a production wash test.
Real styles to start from
Six live listings from the catalogue, each with its own Key attributes table, FOB range and MOQ.

Related questions from buyers
Do you provide free colour cards or swatches?
Colour cards and sample proposals are available on request. Contact us with the model numbers and target shades; we will confirm what is in stock and what must be lab-dipped.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
Guangzhou Yaqixin Textile Co., Ltd. supplies factory-direct wholesale fabrics from Guangzhou, China. We handle made-to-order production as well as in-stock items — the Supply Type field on each product page tells you which applies.
How do I read the GSM, width and construction on your product pages?
The Key attributes table lists Material, Weight (gsm), Width, Technics, Pattern and Recommended Use for every product. GSM is grams per square metre; a 25 gsm tulle and a 370 gsm denim behave completely differently even at the same width. See our guide on reading fabric specs.
