| Best for | Reviewing public labor-compliance findings for a participating factory | Auditing inherited grade rules or controlling a new multi-size pattern release from approved targets through sample evidence |
| Know before using | Coverage is limited to participating countries and eligible factories, and current migration can delay recent assessments; absence of a published issue is not approval, a complete audit, or proof of sourcing fit. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. |

| What the source establishes | The program publishes factory identity, country, assessment timing and method, disclosed non-compliance items, and factory responses after eligibility thresholds in participating programs. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. |
