Comforter Fill Power and Loft Measurement Log

Inspection log for recording fill power, fill weight, and loft measurements for down and alternative comforters, and confirming measured loft aligns with the labeled rating.

Inspection Identification

• Product identification matches the inspection record
  Verify product name, style, size, color, and SKU or item code match the lot being inspected.
• Lot, batch, or production date recorded
  Record the lot number, batch number, or production date for traceability.
• Inspection date and inspector recorded
  Enter the date of inspection and the name or ID of the inspector.
• Label claim documented
  Record the labeled fill power or loft claim being verified.
• Reference standard or internal specification noted
  Identify the internal test method, product specification, or customer requirement used for comparison.

Sample Condition and Test Setup

• Sample is clean, dry, and conditioned before measurement
  Confirm the comforter has been conditioned per the applicable internal method before testing.
• Measurement environment recorded
  Record ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of measurement.
• Test equipment identified and calibrated
  Record the balance, loft gauge, chamber, or other measuring device used, and confirm calibration status is current.
• Measurement method followed consistently
  Confirm the same method, sample orientation, and timing were used for all measurements in the lot.
• Sample identification on test fixture or worksheet matches product record
  Verify the sample tag, worksheet, or fixture label matches the lot and item being measured.

Fill Power and Fill Weight Measurements

• Fill power recorded
  Enter measured fill power in cubic inches per ounce.
• Fill weight recorded
  Enter the actual fill weight in ounces.
• Fill power result meets labeled rating
  Confirm the measured fill power is at or above the labeled claim or internal acceptance limit.
• Measurement repeatability within acceptable variance
  Record whether repeated measurements fall within the allowed variance defined by the internal method.
• Fill type identified
  Select whether the comforter uses down, down alternative, or blended fill.

Loft Verification

• Loft measurement recorded
  Enter the measured loft height using the approved method and unit.
• Loft meets labeled rating
  Confirm the measured loft is consistent with the product's labeled loft claim or specification.
• Loft measurement taken at required points
  Confirm the required number of measurement points were used and recorded per the internal method.

Deficiencies, Disposition, and Sign-off

• Deficiencies or non-conformances documented
  Record any out-of-spec measurements, missing data, or method deviations.
• Corrective action or disposition recorded
  Document rework, retest, hold, reject, or release disposition as applicable.
• Photo evidence attached when results are out of tolerance
  Attach photos of the sample, measurement setup, or label when a deficiency is found.
• Inspector signature completed
  Inspector signs to confirm the measurements and findings are accurate.
