Apparel and Home Textiles
Performance Standards Manual
Version 4
Dear Vendor,
Please find the QVC Performance Manual enclosed.
The manual defines the standards required for QVC apparel and home
textiles.
Going forward, it will be the responsibility of suppliers to carry out the
testing as specified in this manual at their cost. Please be aware that
failure to provide test certificates will result in automatic failure of
merchandise.
Please follow the manual carefully as errors are often both
time-consuming and costly.
Any testing must be carried out at a QVC preferred laboratory. A
summary of ‘preferred’ laboratories is listed inside the manual.
On submission of testing, please use the appropriate testing submission
sheet. The form must include either the SKU Number or Style Number.
Testing cannot go ahead without this information.
Any uncertainty concerning the Performance Standards included in the
manual must be clarified with the relevant technologist.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
Mike Roberts
