| Best for | Turning an ambiguous POM name, code, or diagram into a reproducible method before setting targets, tolerances, or inspection decisions | Checking a named facility's current WRAP certification or discovering listed production units |
| Know before using | The record does not reproduce licensed ISO measurement drawings, supply universal POM codes or targets, approve an internal method, prove measurement capability or product fit, or replace qualified technical-design, pattern, fit, quality, metrology, safety, and regulatory review. | A listed facility and its certification status do not establish product quality, capacity, availability, upstream coverage, whole-chain performance, buyer fit, or the scope and result of a particular order. Confirm the exact legal entity and production unit, current certificate and scope, product and process capability, capacity, monitoring evidence, corrective actions, references, and commercial terms directly. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites current ISO garment-measurement, body-measurement, and textile-conditioning standards plus NIST measurement-process guidance for repeatability and reproducibility; it requires organization-specific codes, added points, targets, and tolerances to remain explicitly controlled. | WRAP states that thousands of WRAP-certified facilities operate worldwide and that buyers can use the public route to verify a named factory's certification or find certified manufacturers for apparel, footwear, sewn and leather goods, textiles, and related products. The page exposes certified facilities and monitoring firms as separate routes. |
