6 6 3 Testing Process 3.1 Process flow In order to safeguard the product quality, Manor decided to randomly check products. This quality control will be done by SGS. With the signature on the former mentioned CA, supplier agrees to cooperate with SGS. To guarantee a production and shipment without delay, it is our request that our suppliers can decide themselves at what time between orderplacement and shipment the products or materials are ready to test! A time frame of max. 10 days for the complete testing process has to be calculated. The complete process flow is shown below: Flow Chart Supplier receive CA to sign Requirements listed in the PRP s Signed CA will send back to Manor

7 7 Supplier plans production due to orderplacement of Manor Supplier has all material ready for production Supplier fill out «Ready to Test» RtT-Sheet Supplier send RtT-Sheet to SGS Switzerland by mail SGS demands samples from supplier yes testing Decision SGS No testing Supplier goes ahead with production Supplier will send samples and / or documents RtT-Sheet physically to local SGS-laboratory Testing SGS Test Report fail pass SGS informs supplier go ahead with production Decision Manor accept product Retest Supplier sends re-worked product

8 Single process steps in details: 6 steps! Please see annex 8 1. Orderplacement: The buyer will place the Manor-Order at supplier. This can be done by system or by hand. The process step is valid for private brands and no name orders, as well as for initial- and replenishment orders. 2. Production Planning: After order reception, supplier should conduct the production planning. The different time frames from material disposition till shipment date should be well known. Supplier has to take into account a min. 10 day period for testing, to assure the shipment within the requested time. 3. Sample Availability: Once all necessary materials (e.g. fabrics, raw materials, pre production samples) are in hands of supplier, he has to assure that everything corresponds to production quality. Please see additional chapter Ready to Test: Supplier has to fill out the Ready to Test Sheet / Application Form and send it by mail to SGS Switzerland. It is necessary for each order or Item/article. To speed up the process it is absolutely necessary to fill in all required information. The form is linked under If supplier has already extisting test reports or documentations, it would be helpful to send them as well, in order to avoid unnecessary testing. To gain time supplier can keep some core data (his own address, responsible person, ) in a self created template for reusing this every time. 5. Test Confirmation: SGS will inform supplier either to send the requested samples and/or documents (Document check) or to go ahead in production without testing. This information will be passed within 48 hours. Supplier has to send the samples to his local SGS affiliate. They are linked on 6. Result: SGS will inform you either about pass or fail result. If there is a fail, Manor QA will contact you for further instructions. If there is a fail, supplier will get the detailed test report. 3.2 Basic product testing Due to the long time experience of the Swiss market and the knowledge of both chemical and safety parameters with high risk potential, SGS and Manor decide which articles will be selected for verification. This does not exclude other modes of quality testing. Test reports will be sent to Manor. Only if the result is fail the test report will also be sent to the supplier. Re-tests on improved products can be ordered through the supplier. In these cases supplier must pay the testing fee. 3.3 Document review SGS may request suppliers to send all product related documents (i.e. test reports, certifications etc.) together with one sellable product (including the packaging). Documents need to be complete and need to fulfill the following requirements: - Unambiguous matching of documents to the Manor product - Not older than 3 years - Issued by an accredited lab (EN ISO/IEC 17025) The supplier must ensure that a complete documentation exists. In case of a negative result Manor reserves the right to cancel the order. A pre-check of documents can be ordered by supplier at any time. Please contact one of the main SGS contact persons.
