INTRODUCTION These testing procedures are designed to ensure a uniform understanding and implementation of Carter‟s, Inc. quality assurance program by all offices and laboratories. Carter‟s, Inc. basic performance standards are based on BVCPS past experience. Most test methods and test procedures are originated from: • ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) • AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) • CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) • FTC (Federal Trade Commission) • NAHM (National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers) • UL (Underwriter‟s Laboratories) • ETL (ETL Testing Laboratories, Inc.) • FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) • ANSI (American National Standard Institute) • DOT (Federal Department of Transportation) • CPAI (Industrial Fabrics Association International) • UFAC (Upholstery Furniture Action Council) The Performance Standards are used as a guideline for the evaluation of consumer satisfaction and acceptability. All products are evaluated from the viewpoint of overall consumer serviceability. This Manual was prepared for Carter‟s internal use and is intended for the manufacture of children‟s garments. Additional product-specific test protocols, including non-apparel products, are available from BVCPS. A list of these protocols can be found in the Appendix at the end of this Manual. CARTER’S INC.

TESTING PROCEDURES I.

BUYER RESPONSIBILITY •

Provide the vendor with a copy of Carter‟s, Inc. test procedures, sample submission requirements and performance standards.

•

Obtain the agent's signature on a "Vendor Confirmation Form" (See inside cover-form enclosed).

Signed forms will be kept on file in the Quality Assurance office.

II. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY •

Complete the Vendor Confirmation Form and return to Carter‟s, Inc. upon receipt.

•

Vendor is responsible for all testing costs.

•

Sample submission to BVCPS: Determine which BVCPS location to send test samples. Submit samples with a fully completed Carter‟s, Inc. Test Request Form. BVCPS will not accept sample if the form is incomplete. Softlines garments must include all trim, accessories and embellishments. VISUALLY UNSATISFACTORY SAMPLES (stains, tears, missing pieces) WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR TESTING! A retest sample would follow the same submission procedures as outlined above.

•

All incoming merchandise is subject to Carter‟s, Inc.‟s inspection to guarantee manufacturer's compliance with prepurchase testing qualities and recommendations for improvement.

•

In situations where a Carter‟s Internal Standard exceeds applicable Federal laws or regulations, or where there are no applicable Federal laws or regulations, Carter‟s QA Department reserves its right to review all test results on a caseby-case basis to determine if a waiver or override of a particular test result is appropriate in the particular instance and consistent with Carter‟s overall commitment to safety. Under no circumstances, however, will Carter‟s grant a waiver or override a disposition in instances in which there are non-compliances with applicable Federal laws or regulations.

IV. BVCPS RESPONSIBILITY •

Pick up all test samples from overseas agent office in all applicable countries.

•

When the test request form is incomplete, the laboratory notifies the originating office. Until proper information is received, testing will be delayed.

Revision 8.11.2 May 2011

Hints For Filling the Testing Request Form BVCPS Testing Request Form 1) Sample Status - Development (Vendor's Pre-Quality Test) Vendors can use this Testing Request Form for development sample testing (i.e. pre-quality test is based on Vendor's request) and vendors can receive Carter's discount (refer Carter's testing cost on page 21). Since this is a development test only, Carter‟s will not contact vendors to take any action in the event of a failure. Carter‟s expects the vendor will react to any failures indicated and take corrective action before production. (Remark: If sample is for Carter's only development purpose and requires Carter to review the result, vendors should mark "X" at "Pre-production" instead of "Development (Vendor's pre-quality test)").

BVCPS Testing Request Form For In-Process Program Agents may, and are encouraged to, carry out In-Process testing in addition to Carter‟s regular test package as additional control for some potential problems due to production variation. Agents will determine the required test(s) for the randomly selected samples and send BVCPS with a completed test request form for the In-Process testing Program.

Revision 8.11.2 May 2011

Safe Product Review Small Parts / Choking Hazards Any item intended for children ages 3 and under that does not meet Section 4.6 of ASTM F963 or CFR Title 16, Part 1501, is classified as a small part if the object fits into the small parts cylinder (see below). It is considered a potential choking hazard and must withstand a 20.2 pound pull force. Determination of the terms “fit into the small parts cylinder.”

Trims such as rhinestones, sequins, etc., are not allowed on garments size 5T and below. Garments in sizes 4-6x / 4-7 with any decorative embellishment that can not pass the small part requirement due to the nature of the embellishment or attachment method or have cords / ties / belts made from a metal chain must be labelled with the below hangtag.

Functional hardware (such as buttons, snaps, etc.) must always pass the required 20.2 pound pull force and so can never use this hangtag. Note: All stone (or other object) washed garments must be thoroughly inspected after the garment washing process and all stones removed. Small Parts Hazard Testing The purpose of small parts hazard testing is to determine if parts attached to the garment, such as: buttons, bows, snaps, buckles, patches, appliqués, or other functional or decorative items which can be removed by 46 PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL

D. CLAMPS & TRIMS TENSION TEST Both Clamps Are Generally Used For Clipping The Component

Clamp 1

Clamp 2

Diameter of the washer: ¾ Inch (19mm) Note: According to ASTM, any projection from the sample that a child can grasp with at least the thumb and forefinger or the teeth shall be subjected to the tension test, in which an appropriate clamp shall be used to clip the test object or component. Most likely, we use clamp 1 & clamp 2 shown as above for tension test and we suggest to select clamp 1 first. In case clamp 1 can not clip the material securely (e.g. rhinestone, beads, sewn decorative label), clamp 2 should be used. Clamp 1 should be used specifically for textile components so as not to cause fabric rupture and to avoid clamp cutting on the ends of the component. The clamp must meet the material flat.

This Set Of Clamps Is Used For Single Thread Pulling Strength

Close the draw of clamp 3 after yarn being clipped.

Turn the locker in lock position to hold the yarn securely during pulling test.

Feeler Gauge : To Judge The Component As Grippable Or Non-Grippable

Feeler gauge, with thickness of 0.4mm+0.02mm and an insertion edge radius of approximately 3 mm.

Inserting the feeler gauge between the component and the underlying layer (or body of the sample) at an angle between 0° and 10° from the sample surface using a force of 10 N+ 1 N.

The above two samples exhibit feeler gauge inserted; therefore, the sample is to be judged as grippable.

The feeler gauge is unable to be inserted from the sample edge; therefore, the sample is considered as non-grippable.

Note: According to ASTM, clamp 1 is used to grip the material which shall be attached to the cover material of a completely apart ½ inch (13mm) from the closer point/seam in full dimension ¾ inch (19mm) – see above photo for clipping ribbon bow. For particular conditions listed below, special arrangement of clipping method is necessary: (1) If the dimension of material is less than 1¼ inch (32 mm) (total length of clamp 1 & apartment from closer clamp 1 to point/seam) but larger than ¾ inch (19 mm), clip the whole cover material and reduce the distance between clip and closer point/seam. (2) If the dimension of material is less than ¾ inch (19 mm), clip the whole cover material as much as possible (see above photo for clipping petal) In principle, we have to perform small part attachment strength from different directions or orientations. For ribbon bow shown in above picture, please stretch in each direction (1, 2, 3, 4) for each individual sample.

Not Included In Small Part Category

The fiber on bear‟s face or picot stitch at sleeve should not be considered a small part for pulling test, 20.2 lbs. @ 10 sec. should not be applicable for those items.

Carter's considers that the possibility that a child could not "pop" the grommet out with a fingernail (not grippable) of this style and also the fact that this style is used in conjunction with a center tacked fake drawstring. Therefore, there isn’t any real pressure applied to the grommet. So, attachment strength requirement is not applicable for this style.

Carter's considers that this type of decorative string at side is not required for small part attachment strength test.

E. PRINTING DURABILITY IN WASHING Cracking or chipping is to be evaluated by stretching the print to maximum fabric elongation (under five pound load), but not to exceed 50% elongation in any case. For example, jersey knits may only stretch 35%, but rib knits may stretch 100%. In this example, the jersey would be evaluated at 35% elongation and the rib at 50% elongation. (Remark: Evaluate both Before wash state and After 3 washes state. Cracking is allowed if the printing can recover to original pattern in relaxed state after stretching, but not allowed for the printing that is chipping off.)

Unsatisfactory Printing Durability Printing that can not recover to the original pattern after stretching.

G1. GLOW INK PRINT TESTING The print is charged under INC A light for 1 minute and then placed in a dark room with the viewer.

After 10 minutes, the printing sample is viewed at 3 feet in the dark room in comparison with Carter‟s reference standard. The glow must be perceptible and the detail must still remain clear enough to identify the pattern.

Pass – Clear enough to identify the glow ink pattern

Fail – Not clear enough to identify the glow ink pattern

G2. SELF-STAINING ON OUTSOLE The intent of that section is to have the technician report the occurrence of sole staining in colorfastness to actual laundering as “Acceptable with Comment.”

H. SNUG FITTING MEASUREMENT Some designs of tight fitting sleepwear involve non-traditional sleeve and leg lengths. Such as ¾ length or capri pants. The standard CPSC sleeve or leg opening dimensions can not be used. They would always be smaller than the garment opening and Fail because they do not measure to the CPSC specification. In such case, agents or suppliers are required to submit Carter’s specification sheet along with the garment for BVCPS measurement. Attached is an example of a Carter‟s measurement specification sheet, in which BV can see the style used an interpolated opening dimension.

Procedure for evaluating the abrasion resistance of sleeper foot sole material Equipment and Materials: Crockmeter as specified in AATCC method 8. 400 grit wet or dry sand paper Mirror Procedure: Resurface the finger of the crockmeter to allow specimens to lay flat on the sandpaper. This is accomplished by cycling the crockmeter several times with the acrylic finger against the sand paper. Use new sandpaper to resurface the finger. Discard and replace with new paper prior to testing a specimen. Mount sleeper foot material specimen on the finger the same as you would the test cloth in performing a colorfastness test according to AATCC method 8. Cycle the crockmeter 5 complete cycles allowing the specimen to slide against the sandpaper. Check the specimen for abrasion by raising the arm and checking with the mirror. Repeat this process every five cycles. At the first sign of a hole appearing in the substrate, stop the test and report the number of cycles leading to the failure as a range of 5 cycles. For instance failure occurred between 100-105 cycles. Replace the sandpaper before each specimen is evaluated.
