Pre-shipment inspection and quality control for contract rug orders: a protocol checklist

A protocol checklist for architects, interior designers, hoteliers and procurement managers who must decide what to inspect, when, and what to write into purchase terms for handmade contract rugs. It restructures one RS Contract article, last reviewed 30 August 2026: four inspection points, attributes to check, how AQL sampling under ISO 2859-1 applies to handmade goods and where it does not, defect classes, the written line between variation and defect, and third-party inspection. Suggested AQL values are the source's starting point, not a standard. Source: https://raheemandson.com/contract/resources/pre-shipment-inspection-and-quality-control-for-rug-orders .
