- Abstract
- The Children's Sleepwear Standard for sizes 0-6X provides an example of the necessary interplay between sampling theory, industry capabilities and consumer safety assurance. The sampling plan imposes requirements for the fabric, for garment design and for garment production. These requirements address the differences between hazards due to design and those due to production errors. The requirements also interact to provide improved assurance of safety by limiting the potential for severe injury.
