Flame Retardant Fabric Sourcing Program for Workwear Manufacturers: Sportswear
Flame Retardant Fabric Programme for Workwear Manufacturers: Sportswear
This programme covers the full path from a flame retardant fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for workwear manufacturers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 210 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around sportswear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in flame retardant fabric sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against RoHS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Polyester — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Wood — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- Nylon — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- PU Leather — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1000 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
RoHS documentation is issued with the shipment. Test reports can be ordered against any additional standard you nominate.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
Tell us the item, the quantity and the delivery window. We will quote it with the sub-processes named, so the lead time you approve is the lead time you get.
