 Different Types of Defects in Garments
 
Garments Defects
The defect is the common term in the garment industry. Garment defects are also well known as reject the
item. Different types of defects are found in the garment industry. In garments industry these defects are
dependent upon the classification of defects and an inspector’s ability to make decisions. Creating a list of
every defect that might be encountered during a quality inspection is not realistic. Having said that, the
tables which follow do provide details of the majority of defects. According to the garments workmanship
and appearance garments defects are divided in the three ways-
1. Critical defects
2. Major defects
3. Minor defects
1. Critical Defects 
A critical defect is one that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions when using the product. A
critical defect is also a deviation from delivery requirements which prevents the product from being
received. If one (1) occurrence of critical defect is observed during the inspection, the entire lot will be
rejected. A 100% inspection will be carried-out by the garments factory QA Staff to remove the defective
product/s.
2. Major Defects
A major defect is one that is likely to result in a customer complaint or return. A major defect is also one
that will most likely result in product failure after a period of time that is considered unacceptable to the
customer or end user. A major defect will usually (but not always) be obvious to the inspector during the
visual garments inspection. It will also be obvious to the customer during use.

A minor defect is one that is unlikely to result in customer complaint or return. A minor defect is a
deviation from the required standard, but one that is unlikely to affect the usability of the product. A minor
defect will usually be seen by the inspector, but may be overlooked by the customer.
Garments Defect Table
Defining whether the defect is Critical, Major or Minor might require some degree of personal judgment.
Some defects might be obvious – others less so. It is essential that the quality control inspectors are
familiar with all of the defect types contained in these defect tables. It is also important that these
inspectors have sufficient experience and knowledge to ensure the right decision is made. The tables are
designed to be used for reference only – they are not a fully comprehensive list of faults and must not be
considered inclusive or exhaustive.
