Buyer answer

What can KAIDA support?

Waterproof testing should be tied to the specific garment, material and agreed requirement. KAIDA includes waterproof-related equipment and process checks within its production environment. Buyers should define the expected test method and acceptance criteria during development so construction, seam sealing and final review are working toward the same target.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked questions.

01Does KAIDA use one waterproof standard for every garment?

No. The test method and acceptance criteria should be agreed for the specific product and market during development.

02How is waterproof testing connected to seam sealing?

Seam sealing is one part of the overall construction system. The fabric, seams, tape, design details and application all need to support the agreed test requirement.

03Can a buyer request third-party testing?

If third-party testing is required, identify the method, laboratory or market requirement in the initial brief so the route can be reviewed before production.
