 CONFIDENTIAL

PROPERTY OF THE RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION

THIS MANUAL IS THE PROPERTY OF THE RALPH LAUREN CORPORATION, its subsidiaries
and affiliates, (collectively, “Ralph Lauren Corporation,” “RLC” or the “Company”). THIS
MANUAL CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND MAY NOT BE COPIED,
DUPLICATED OR REPRODUCED WITHOUT OBTAINING PERMISSION FROM THE SENIOR
VICE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCT INTEGRITY AND GLOBAL QUALITY.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 5

Scope & Purpose:

The purpose of the Ralph Lauren Corporate Testing Manual is to define the requirements for all
products shipping to Ralph Lauren Corporations customers, regardless of their markets of distribution.
Meeting performance and regulatory standards are vital to our strategy of delivering quality products to
our customers. We have developed this Manual to assist you in understanding RLC’s expectations and
requirements.

Policy:

A zero tolerance policy is in effect on any product not meeting the RLC Standards as defined in this
Manual. Raw Material and Finished Goods suppliers are required to use only nominated independent
3rd party testing labs to achieve passing test reports for raw materials and finished product prior to the
shipping of product.

Foundation:

The Ralph Lauren Testing Program includes test protocols, standards, process and procedure. It also
recognizes the nuance / differences between the different businesses / brands that RL delivers.

The entire testing process consists of two stages, possibly three if garment testing is required.

 Raw Material Specification (required)

 Bulk Fabric Testing + Trim Testing (required)
 Garment Testing (IF required)

Raw Material Specification (required):

The Raw Material Specification (RMS) system is managed by FITI. The purpose is to promote
communication between mills and the Ralph Lauren Corporation during development, prior to the
ordering of bulk yardage. It is required for every fabric being adopted into the line.

As Ralph Lauren would never knowingly develop or purchase a fabric that does not meet the
expectations of our Customer, we developed the RMS system to ensure mills are clear with our
development standards and deliver fabric that meets those standards. RMS gives mills ample notice
that fabrics not meeting our standards will not be accepted. The RMS system resets a standard if
needed for the Bulk Fabric Testing process and garment testing process. As such, Bulk Fabric Testing
cannot begin until an approved RMS exists. Please note: all 3rd party nominated test labs are instructed
to reject any testing requests for bulk fabric if they don’t have a copy of the approved RMS. Any general
questions and communication related to an RMS must be sent to RL‐RMS@RalphLauren.com.

NOTE: Mills should not be waiting to produce sample yardage before completing an RMS as the
purpose of this process is to grant approval based on mills past expertise.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 6

Bulk Fabric Testing (required):

Once an approved RMS exists, Ralph Lauren requires bulk fabric testing. This testing should be on bulk
yardage. Bulk fabric testing should be done in all colors (as required). See section for Colorfast Testing
for specifics. Regulatory and compliance testing attributes conducted by in‐house accredited labs will
not be accepted. Salesman sample yardage, proto yardage, or yardage “indicative of bulk” is not
considered to be bulk yardage.

No Pre‐Production Meeting or Final Inspection may start without a passing bulk fabric test report.

For sweaters, RLC requires the testing of bulk yarn, not yarn indicative of bulk or sample yarns. This
program dictates the bulk yarn in panel form is used for testing. RLC accepts two phases of testing: Bulk
yarn testing and garment testing. However, note that we only accept panel testing in bulk yarns. It
should also be noted that the garment supplier is responsible for the testing of final product before it
ships. RLC nominated testing labs must be used for garment testing. Please note that for Sweaters, RMS
is not required.

NOTE: Related to sweaters, the garment supplier is wholly responsible for the quality of product
shipping to the RLC consumer. Accordingly, product finishes must always be taken into account when a
garment supplier is deciding whether garment testing is needed. Bulk yarn testing for wet finished
garment is exempted. Yarn mill is responsible for meeting compliance and performance requirement.

Garment Testing (IF Required):

Garment testing is done in garment form. It is made in bulk fabric yardage, submitted to an RLC
nominated testing lab.

The default decision is to always conduct garment testing. However, the Supplier is accountable for the
decision as to whether or not garment testing is needed above and beyond the requirement of RMS and
Bulk Fabric Testing. If a Supplier feels strongly that garment testing is not needed, they must get
approval from the RL Production / Sourcing contact to approve the decision.

The below chart should be used to assist in decision making. In all instances, the supplier accepts full
accountability for a style meeting all RL requirements as well as all regulatory requirements‐ this applies
to every style regardless if the elimination of garment testing is approved or not approved. Specifically,
should a quality issue be found at the end of production, in the RL warehouse, or in the store‐ the
supplier is responsible and accountable for the product.

NOTE: If a garment test report is required, no Garment Test will be completed by an independent 3rd
party lab without an approved RMS & Bulk Fabric Test Report attached to the Test Request Form (TRF).

NOTE: A supplier should never push back on Ralph Lauren if a quality issue arises by saying that Ralph
Lauren approved “us” to eliminate garment testing. RL Corp. relies 100% on the Supplier to drive quality
into the product. We use the suppliers expertise to determine the best course of action. RLC reserves
the right to require garment testing should we not feel comfortable with the anticipated outcome.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 7

If garment testing is required, it must be done in bulk fabric with bulk trim items. When required, all
“final product” must be tested in the same condition that it is expected to be presented to the
Consumer at point of sale i.e. stone washed, over dyed, sanded, enzyme, etc. It is the Ralph Lauren QA
Team in country, the Vendor Quality Auditor (“VQA”) from the Vendor Quality Program (“VQP”) or the
Factory Quality Auditor from Ralph Lauren that will ensure the garment test reflects the finished
product.

‐RULE‐

For both Bulk Fabric Testing and Garment Testing, the VQA must initial and date a copy of the passing
test report(s) in the QA folder before passing an order for shipment. This task ensures that no product is
allowed to ship without a passing test report and material bill of lading. Should there be an instance
where inferior product is shipped; RLC will request a copy of the test report, fabric bill of lading &
invoice, copies of production schedules to confirm that testing was, in fact, done at the optimal time for
production to be accurate.

Nominated Testing Labs:

Ralph Lauren Corporation has nominated labs for testing based on its strategic supplier matrix and
geographic regions. The following labs are approved as specified in the chart below:

Region RMS Bulk Fabric / Trim Garment

Bureau Veritas
NOTE: Suppliers that had
Asia (except India) FITI
previously picked FITI can
remain with FITI.
India FITI ITS ITS
Americas Bureau Veritas Bureau Veritas / UL
Bureau Veritas /
Europe Bureau Veritas / Codetex / UL
Codetex
NOTE: QA has a list of the testing labs that all suppliers had previously picked.

The BV One Source System owned by Bureau Veritas will be the central depository of information
related to testing. All nominated testing labs are responsible and accountable for daily transmission of
electronic data to the BV One Source system to enable proper disposition of failures / over‐rides /
conditional approvals and the archiving of information.

Bureau Veritas is the owner of communication to Ralph Lauren Corporation that a style / PO has a
passing garment test report in existence. The TDCR system is no longer the central depository of
information related to testing.

Italy & Portugal Testing Luxury Apparel Approach:

Ralph Lauren recognizes that testing luxury product made in Europe requires different rules to reduce
sampling, drive compliance, and ensure quality. For this reason, the criteria listed in this section applies
only to the luxury apparel product produced in Europe.

Rule: all children’s product must be tested in garment form.

Rule: all fabrics (including shell fabrics and linings) must have bulk fabric testing completed.

Rule: Any style / PO with units over 1,200 requires garment testing made in bulk fabric.

For style / PO under 1,200 requires RMS / Bulk Fabric Testing (both shell and linings).

Suppliers are accountable and responsible to ensure that all trim items are tested to meet RL quality
standards and regulatory standards. We realize that to reduce duplicative testing suppliers will drive
component testing with RL Production / Sourcing Teams in Bologna and/or NY. (component testing =
the testing of one trim item to cover the testing requirements of multiple styles with the same “said”
trim item).

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 9

For styles / PO’s under 1,200 units, RL does not require garment testing in some scenarios.

Below 1200 units:

Non‐Washed Programs: Testing is not required for non‐garment washed or non‐garment dyed
programs. Bulk fabric testing is acceptable for shell and lining fabrics.

Garment Washed or Garment Dyed Programs: Must be tested after processing. Suppliers may
submit three (3) full finished garments to be tested or they may submit three (3) leg or three (3)
sleeve tubes plus a 1.5 meter panel (full width) in all pertaining fabric (shell, linings, pocket
linings) with trims sewn on the panel (approximately 6 pieces of each trim item) to be tested.

Vertical Suppliers Testing:

For vertical suppliers, a supplier making their own fabric and producing finished product, garment
testing is expected to be done by an RL nominated testing lab. We do allow fabric testing to be done in
their internal labs (and of course in an RL nominated testing lab). Garment testing will be done to the
full extent of the protocol. Note: RMS is still expected for all fabrics done at a vertical supplier.

All RL nominated testing labs have a list of vertical suppliers which enables them to proceed with
garment testing without having a bulk fabric test report. It is expected that the vertical supplier keep
internal lab reports on file for a period of seven years.

Other Categories:

Leather: Please note that the same principles described for Woven and Knit products apply equally for
leather and shearling. Please see the separate protocol in the Appendix, attached.

Denim: Denim fabric mills are not required to submit bulk fabric for testing on unwashed denim fabric.

NOTE: Denim mills should partner with FITI accordingly in submission of a raw material specification
sheet (RMS). All information on the raw material specification sheet must be entered into the FITI
system with the understanding the denim mills do not need to provide stretch and recovery w/elastane
information. All Denim mills are responsible for obtaining an approval from their RLC brand fabric team
when a performance attribute is not meeting RLC standard.

NOTE: The denim protocol is applicable to finished garment testing and has nothing to do with the
manufacturing process for denim. Garment suppliers are accountable and responsible for partnering
with their mill partners to ensure the relaxation of fabric and the building of patterns generate finished
garments that measure to the specs defined in the RLC Tech Pack. We empower our denim expert
suppliers to conduct industry best practices to produce consumer appropriate product.

NOTE: While the denim protocol shrinkage requirements are intended for garments, please note that
industry best practice standards and RLC expectations for denim mill quotes are listed below:

Stretch Fabric with a maximum elongation < 30%

Weft Stretch directions:
‐12% maximum shrinkage
+/‐ 3% variance of mill claim (mill / vendor requirement only, labs do not use)
Stretch Fabric with an elongation > 30%
Weft Stretch directions:
‐15% maximum shrinkage
+/‐ 3% variance of mill claim (mill / vendor requirement only, labs do not use)
Warp no‐stretch direction: 4% +/‐3% variance

Trim Testing: Trim supplier are required to submit their trims for testing. See the separate protocol in
the Appendix, attached. A completed and passing trim test is valid for 12 months, unless there is a
material or processing change, at which time retesting or re‐certification will be required. Please note
that for Trims, RMS is not required.

Testing Exclusions:

Ralph Lauren Corporation has gathered data from thousands of test and has determined this list of
items have a low probability of being non‐compliant with International, National and Regional safety
compliance rules and regulations. Ralph Lauren Corporation does not require evidence of compliance
for raw materials on this list. This list does not excuse our suppliers from their responsibility to supply
raw materials including the raw materials listed from meeting all International, National and Regional
safety compliance rules and regulations.

Colorfast Testing:

Our global testing protocols have been set to utilize the strictest known standard. This ensures that all
products manufactured in our production pipeline can be sold in any region. Therefore, we have
instructed our nominated testing labs to perform product testing according to the TRF (Appendix F) they
receive.

During the Bulk Fabric Testing Process, it is the responsibility of the mill to submit all colors for testing to
nominated testing labs.

If garment testing is not required, the garment supplier should take the mill’s recommended care
instruction into consideration before deciding on the care label. They must be careful to consider all
trim items applied to the garment before deciding the care / content label. For more details, refer to
the section of this manual called “care code”.

Where garment test is required, it is the responsibility of the supplier to submit which colors need to be
tested. If the supplier does not specify on the TRF which colors need to be tested, the testing facility will
require all colors to be tested. RLC issues purchase orders specifically for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region
under a V992/Plant /DC designation. The APAC purchase orders are separate from the purchase orders
issued for the United States (US) region, Europe (EU), or Canada (CA) region and therefore have
different governance.

APAC order; the darkest colorway on order must be tested to the Performance and Regulatory
Compliance protocol. All others colors on the PO must be tested to the “Additional Colorway” protocol.

All other regions (EU, US, Canada); Test a Light, Medium, and Dark color. The darkest color must be
tested to the Performance and Regulatory protocol, while the light and medium colorways should be
tested to the Additional Colorway protocol.

Those regions requiring testing of a light, medium, and dark shade product may do so, ONLY, if the
product is not to be shipped to the APAC region (V992)/Plant/DC, as example:

Polo Mesh shirts being sold in 25 colors only in the US, EU, and CA regions ‐ testing requirements of a
light, medium, and dark color is acceptable.

Polo Mesh Shirt being sold in 25 colors of which 14 colors are for APAC ‐ testing is required for all 14
colors plus a light, medium, and dark for the US, EU, and CA, if the light, medium, and dark were not
represented in the APAC buy.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 15

Trim Sub‐Component Testing:

As part of the Ralph Lauren Corporation (“RLC”) Reasonable Testing Program, you are expected to
provide us with products that comply with all international regulatory directives. In order to reduce the
need for redundant testing while still meeting RLC requirements, we are allowing our suppliers to test
their raw materials and sub‐components for compliance. This test would then be applied to all items
the vendor is supplying to RLC.

Sub‐components are raw materials used to produce an item. Example brass, rubber, poly resin, paints,
etc.

A button supplier for example may test their brass sub‐component and then apply the test results to
multiple Material ID’s made from that brass with different logos stamped on the surface.

A print supplier for example may test their dyes/pigments/inks and then apply the test results to
multiple Material ID’s made from one or more of the tested sub‐components.

Materials allowed for Sub‐Component Testing are listed below:

Buttons
Burr
Fasteners
Labels
Print Techniques
Paint Techniques
Snaps
Rivets
Zippers

When submitting a sub‐component for testing, the TRF (Test Request Form) must indicate the Material
ID’s the sub‐component is associated. A completed and passing Sub‐component test is valid for 12
months, unless there is a material or processing change, at which time retesting or re‐certification will
be required.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 16

Care Code:

For styles where no garment testing is being conducted, it is assumed that the care code in the garment
is going to be the same care instructions as indicated by the mill (recommended care instructions) as
found on the Bulk Fabric Test Report. If the garment supplier deviates from this recommended care
instruction because of a trim or garment finish, they are accountable to conduct a “limited” garment
test to confirm the performance of the garment to the care code. The supplier is to partner with a
nominated testing provider to ascertain necessary testing for care code confirmation.

NOTE: If the Supplier is using the recommended care instruction from the mill, they are 100%
accountable for ensuring performance to the care code. This can be done by internal testing at the
garment supplier.

For styles being garment tested, it is the supplier’s responsibility to indicate on the Test Request Form
(TRF) what care code will be used for the product being tested, this information is based on the results
of the Bulk Fabric Test Report and the knowledge the garment supplier has on the treatment that will be
done to the garment during production and/or the trim being applied to the garment.

The supplier is responsible for partnering with RLC nominated testing labs to determine the best care /
content label to use on bulk production. Garment treatments and trim need to be taken into
consideration and the supplier is responsible for effectively communicating with and partnering
accordingly.

There is a pre‐defined list of care codes accepted by Ralph Lauren Corporation which is housed in TDCR
under Manuals & Documents > TDCR Manual > Global Quality and Compliance > Care Code Listing.
RLC’s nominated testing labs also have this list.

Suppliers own ordering care labels that appear on the list of approved care codes using:

 Mill’s recommended care instructions (this is done when no garment testing is done
because of the nature of the finished product and the fact that no trim item appears on the
style that could affect care instructions.
 “limited” garment testing to confirm care labels‐ this is done when a garment supplier is
changing the care label in a garment because of a trim item or a finished garment
treatment.
 Garment Testing Report‐ this is used when garment testing is done on a style.

Note: No final inspection will be conducted / passed unless a passing bulk fabric test report and/or
passing garment test report exists.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 17

Test Protocols:

All testing facilities approved by RLC have the required protocols (Appendix B) for the product we sell,
and will test said product submitted to them accordingly. This is a departure from the past in that we
formerly used the TDCR system for a supplier to create a “project” defining the protocols needed to be
tested. Suppliers must be aware of this change as there might be more, or less, testing needing to be
done to the products that they submit for testing. The labs will be going into TDCR to indicate that a
test report is completed and adding result, so it’s important that the supplier be specific on the Test
Request Form as to what styles the testing refers to. For example: If one test report is applicable to style
# 12648 and 12655, the test lab will go into TDCR and indicate that a passing test report exists for each
one of said styles. The supplier is still expected to use TDCR for care/content labels‐ see section on
care/content labels. Note, however, that the 3rd party testing labs systems (i.e. BV One Source for
Bureau Veritas or Interlink for Intertek) is where the “.pdf” test report must be stored along with all
communications regarding that test report i.e. Corrective Action Plans (CAP’s), over‐rides, conditional
approvals.

The new Apparel testing protocols are focused on two premises, Performance and Regulatory
Compliance. RLC then further defines the protocol by Material Category (Knits and Wovens), Product
Classification, and Material Construction. As with our existing protocols, the revised protocols are
designed to be “stacked” so that, in every case, there will be at least two protocols stacked together to
create a valid Test Request Form (“TRF”) (Appendix F). Each protocol has a Special Test/Instruction area
as well as its original “Notes” section to further assist you with preparing complete and proper TRF’s.

The supplier is responsible for providing testing at the development stage for Special Claims (i.e. Down
Proofness, Water Resistance, Water Repellency, Wickability…). It is the supplier’s responsibility to specify
the special claims testing needed on TRF. Note that the test must also be repeated on bulk production.

Test Rating:

Effective immediately, there are only 2 ratings that a testing lab can give a test report upon completion:

PASS ‐ product meets all of the RLC standards for global sale, and production is approved to
ship.

FAIL ‐ product has one or more failed testing attributes i.e. color fastness, shrinkage, etc., and
product is not approved to ship.

If a test report receives a Fail rating, the product can only receive one of the following resolutions:

OVER‐RIDE – although the product has had one or more failures to a performance standard, RLC
have decided to classify the product as commercially acceptable and are releasing the product
for shipment. However, this product might not be appropriate for all markets. To diminish the
market differences, an Over‐ride must be further defined and recorded as Over‐ride (APAC
approved), or Over‐ride (APAC approved except China orders).

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 18

 CONDITIONAL APPROVAL – although the product has had one or more failures to a
performance standard, RLC have decided to ship the product. To mitigate any potential risk
these approvals must be further declared as Conditionally approved (APAC approved), or
Conditionally approved (No APAC orders). This approval is given only once and future
collaboration with Business Partners is needed to ascertain if we should ever run this product
(or similar product) again.

APPROVED TO RE‐TEST – RLC has requested and received a Corrective Action Plan (“CAP”) from
the supplier, RLC will only issue a resolution of “approved to retest” where the submitted CAP
details actions will fix the failing attribute on the test report. Once this is done, the supplier can
proceed with corrections and submit the product for retesting.

A completed and passing garment test is valid for 6 months, unless there is a material or processing
change, at which time retesting or re‐certification will be required. The only exception to this rule is a
platform’d fabric which is valid for 1 year.

For reporting purposes, an “over‐ride / market specific approval” rating is considered to be a pass rating
and a “conditionally approved / market specific” rating is considered to be a failed rating. At the season
end, quarter end, and yearly end, when RLC runs reports to check our performance to see if we
delivered quality for our customer, we consider only passed reports and “over‐ride / market specific
approval” ratings a success.

By having all bulk fabric testing completed by nominated Raw Material Testing Lab and all garment
testing completed by our list of nominated testing labs, we can drive accountability throughout the
supply chain.

Connecting the Testing Process to Final Inspections:

Ralph Lauren Corporation uses the final inspection process to confirm compliance to regulatory
requirements. As a result, the final inspection of all products includes the confirmation that the
appropriate paperwork is in order prior to shipment. The following is required in the QA Folder:

Passing Bulk Fabric Test Report or if needed a copy of the disposition stating an over‐ride or
conditional approval.

NOTE: All care / content labels in the garments (bulk production) must match the garment test report.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 19

Test Report Validity:

A completed and passing test is valid for either 6 months or 12 month, unless there is a material or
processing change, at which time retesting or re‐certification will be required. See validity details below.

Fabric/Leather/Yarn Fabric/Leather/Yarn
Validity Trim / Sub‐Component Garment
(Non Platform’d) (Platform’d)
6 Months √ √
12 Months √ √

The test validity must be valid against a material x‐mill or x‐tannery date. In order to help trace back the
test report validity, suppliers must ensure to include the Material ID No. and the PO details on their
invoice to the factory.

Certificates:

As part of the Ralph Lauren Corporation (“RLC”) Reasonable Testing Program, you are expected to provide us
with products that comply with all international regulatory directives for Banned Allergenic Disperse Dyes,
and Banned Azo Dyes. In order to reduce the need for redundant testing while still meeting RLC
requirements, we are providing our suppliers with the following options.

As a supplier of RLC, your company has two choices:

Provide a valid Banned Allergenic Disperse Dyes, or Banned Azo Dyes certificate from an independent
third party certification company (i.e. Oeko‐Tex or any other certification organization recognized by RLC),
or

Test every color produced to verify no Banned Allergenic Disperse Dyes, or Banned Azo Dyes are
present in accordance with 2 below.

When submitting the material or product to one of RL’s nominated third party labs, the supplier must
answer “Yes” or “No” to the certificate questions on the Test Request Form (TRF).

If the supplier answers “Yes”, they must provide a copy of a valid certificate(s) when submitting TRF to
our nominated third party labs. To be valid, the certificate must be issued by an independent third party
certification company acceptable to RLC, and must have been issued within the immediate twelve (12)
months prior to submission.

The third party labs will verify the certificate, and if acceptable, the material or product will be exempt
from testing. Labs are required to store the certificate in their testing systems.

If the supplier answers “No”, the third party labs will perform testing on the material or product
accordingly.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 20

General Certificate of Conformity:

Ralph Lauren will require all completed GCC forms to be uploaded to the third party service provider’s
systems. This is to support compliance with federal product testing and certification requirements. As a
vendor/supplier of Ralph Lauren, you are to complete the GCC after full testing (i.e. fabric, trim and
garment testing) is finalized for each style. The completed GCC is to be uploaded to the third party
service provider’s system (i.e. Interlink, OneSource, etc.) under the completed passing garment test
report entry. The third party service provider’s system allows vendors/suppliers to upload supporting
documents such as the GCC to the respective style number’s garment report.

The suggested GCC file name format is GCC_Style #_Report #

in Packaging Legislation developed by the U.S. Coalition of Northeastern Governors (“CONEG”) and the
European Union (“EU”)[ Directive 94/62/EC amended by 2004/12/EC ‐ Packaging, as amended from time
to time].

Packaging and Packing testing is the sole responsibility of the supplier. Reputable suppliers must be
used and be able to provide testing reports within 24 hours of a request. This testing is valid for one (1)
year.

Testing of all trim items is the sole responsibility of the supplier. As with Packaging and Packing, only
reputable suppliers must be used and must be able to provide a testing report within 24 hours of RLC’s
request. This testing is valid for one (1) year.

April 2018 Confidential and Proprietary Page 21

If the product is for Children’s wear, all test reports for trim items must be submitted with the Test
Request Form to the independent 3rd party lab for the purposes of completing the General Certificate of
Conformity (GCC and CPC). If the garment supplier is unable to provide said test reports from the trim
suppliers, they must request the trim items to be tested during the garment testing process. Garment
suppliers are expected to communicate with the testing labs to know the quantity of trim items to be
sent for testing.

NOTE: Nominated testing labs reserve the right to reject a test report provided to them from a trim
supplier if they determine it is not acceptable for the requirements of a General Certificate of
Compliance (GCC/CPC).

The last page of each test report shall be the General Certificate of Conformity (“GCC”) and/or Children’s
Product Certificate of Compliance (CPC), Appendix J & K) issued by the testing lab. It should be noted
that the certificate issued by the lab is not complete until the supplier signs and completes all
outstanding information.

All test reports must have a digital picture of the garment(s) before testing and after testing where
possible (i.e. garments/products might be destroyed for flammability testing).

Notes:

#1: The issuance of this manual does not equate to the tightening of our standards. The testing
protocols are identical to what should have previously been tested and our standards are the
same as previous. This letter and the policy it defines is a “back to basics” approach dictating
stronger governance. As a result, cost increases are not expected. If there is a legitimate cost
increase, we would need to see a quote from the lab of what was previously being tested
compared to what is being tested as a result of this letter.

#2: The policy for sales sample, made to measure, and development testing is the same today
as it was yesterday. It is not required.

#3: A key call out is that finished product testing must be completed by the garment supplier in
apparel‐ not the mill. This requires the sending of bulk yardage ahead of time to the garment
supplier for the purpose of producing garments which are then to be submitted for garment
testing. This is non‐negotiable. Mills (Raw Material Suppliers) and Garment Suppliers should
partner accordingly to ensure on‐time delivery.

Issue Resolution:

While RLC works hard and our mill partners and supplier community work hard to partner in delivering
quality products to the RLC customer, there will be times where product fails and issue resolution mode
begins. This section of the manual helps RLC mill partners and RLC supplier community navigate for
speedy resolution.

The testing team will disposition each failed test report as quickly as possible. This means, they will
differentiate commercially acceptable product from product that is questionable. The testing team is
empowered to own issuing “over‐ride/market specific approval” and “conditionally approved/market
specific” ratings. If they fail a product, this initiates the issue resolution process:

The team will keep a failed rating in the independent 3rd party system. But, they will also communicate
that the product is failed and include a template of information for the supplier to complete when
partnering with their Production / Sourcing offices / partners.

When the information is known, the testing team will send a quick e‐mail to the NY Production /
Sourcing Team to alert them of the failure.

Once the supplier notifies Production / Sourcing of the failure, they in turn will schedule any needed
internal meetings to address the issue, inviting the testing team when needed for technical direction.
