Quality Control for Disposable Spunlace Nonwoven Products
Jaroll controls disposable towel projects against an approved product specification. The applicable inspection items, sampling plan, test methods and acceptance limits are confirmed for the product and order before production.
Content reviewed October 30, 2026
What changed in this review
- Separated in-house inspection from third-party testing where required.
- Added current ISO 9073 and INDA/EDANA method references without presenting them as product certifications.
- Added the quality-document request codes D01–D04 for buyer review.
How is quality controlled during production?
Jaroll uses eight production stages with defined checks. The approved sample and written specification control the final material, dimensions, GSM, fold, count, packaging and product-specific acceptance criteria.
- 01
Incoming inspection
Check supplier status, batch documents, appearance and specification items required for the incoming material.
- 02
Slitting and setup
Confirm roll width, setup conditions and the first converted article.
- 03
Folding and forming
Check dimensions, folding structure and in-process appearance.
- 04
Cutting and counting
Check length consistency and unit count.
- 05
Primary packaging
Check packaging construction, seal condition and visible foreign matter.
- 06
Labeling
Verify product name, specification, batch identification and approved label content.
- 07
Final inspection
Inspect the finished lot against the agreed sampling plan and product specification.
- 08
Release and shipment
Release accepted product and retain the applicable batch, inspection and shipment records.
Which inspection items can be included?
Inspection scope depends on the approved product specification. Routine physical checks may be completed in-house; chemical, microbiological or other items outside the agreed in-house scope are assigned to a qualified third-party laboratory when required.
Inspection equipment and capability
| Equipment | Inspection capability |
|---|---|
| Whiteness meter | Whiteness measurement and screening for migratable fluorescent whitening agents |
| Fabric thickness gauge | Thickness and batch-uniformity checks |
| Electronic tensile tester | Dry and wet breaking-strength tests |
| Constant-temperature incubator | Microbiological incubation where included in the confirmed inspection scope |
| Microscope | Fiber observation and foreign-matter identification |
Inspection items and method references
| Category | Inspection items | Method or reference |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance and dimensions | Visual defects, odor, foreign matter, dimensional deviation and pack count | Approved product specification and inspection procedure |
| Physical properties | Mass per unit area, thickness, tensile strength and absorbency | ISO 9073 series or customer-agreed equivalent, as applicable |
| Linting | Dry-state lint and particle generation | ISO 9073-10 or an agreed method; third-party testing where required |
| Chemical items | pH, formaldehyde and migratable fluorescent whitening agents, when specified | Agreed product specification and applicable test method |
| Microbiological items | Counts and specified microorganisms, when specified | Agreed method; qualified third-party laboratory where required |
| Sampling | Lot sampling with defined acceptance and rejection criteria | AQL-based plan stated in the approved inspection specification |
Report timing depends on the confirmed inspection scope. Third-party laboratory timelines apply to tests outside the in-house scope.
How is a quality complaint traced?
A production batch number links the product to the applicable material, production, inspection and shipment records. Complaint review starts by identifying the affected product, order and batch.
Production record
Machine, shift, process information and in-process checks
Inspection record
Sampling, results, disposition and retained samples where applicable
Shipment record
Order, quantity, shipment date and destination
When required, the review includes containment, retained-sample comparison, cause analysis, corrective action, responsibility, deadline and an effectiveness check.
Which international test methods can be referenced?
International methods provide a shared technical language. The exact method edition, sample conditioning, sampling rule and acceptance limit must still be written into the product specification.
| Reference | Scope | Application |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 9073-1:2023 | Mass per unit area | GSM verification |
| ISO 9073-2:1995 | Thickness | Thickness and batch-uniformity evaluation |
| ISO 9073-3:2023 | Strip tensile strength and elongation | Dry and wet tensile performance |
| ISO 9073-6:2025 | Absorption | Absorbency time, capacity and wicking rate |
| ISO 9073-10:2003 | Lint and particles in the dry state | Linting and product-cleanliness evaluation |
| ISO 2859-1 | Sampling by attributes | AQL-indexed acceptance sampling when agreed |
| INDA / EDANA NWSP | Nonwovens standard procedures | Customer-agreed US or European method references |
ISO 9073 and INDA/EDANA NWSP are test-method references, not Jaroll product certifications. A compliance statement applies only to the stated method, product specification, acceptance limit and supporting report.
Which quality documents can a buyer request?

Buyer questions about quality and testing
What checks are performed before shipment?
The finished lot is checked against the approved product specification. Applicable items can include appearance, dimensions, count, GSM, thickness, tensile strength, absorbency and packaging. Chemical or microbiological items are included only when required by the confirmed specification.
Does Jaroll apply the same test plan to every product?
No. The inspection scope, sampling plan, method and acceptance limit depend on the product, order and approved specification.
Are ISO 9073 references product certifications?
No. ISO 9073 references describe test methods. They do not certify a product, factory or environmental claim.
Can buyers use their own test method or AQL plan?
A customer method or sampling plan can be reviewed and written into the approved specification when it is technically applicable and agreed before production.
What information is needed to investigate a complaint?
Provide the product name, order number, batch number, affected quantity, photos or video, and a clear description of the issue. Samples may be requested when comparison testing is necessary.
