5 INTRODUCTION Performance testing serves to assure product durability, safety, and compliance with government regulations, consumer satisfaction and reduced customer returns. These Standard Operating Procedures and Performance Standards have been developed by SGS as a combined result of testing experience, participation in national standards organizations, and input from Torrid and industry leaders around the world. The Performance Standards are listed by major merchandise category, and define specific performance parameters. These standards are further detailed according to woven or knit construction, by fiber, by type of color application, and by finishing technique. Each factor will influence performance requirements and tolerances. Torrid requires that all merchandise meet or exceed the outlined performance requirements and meet guideline care instructions. Tests will be conducted at SGS laboratories, and a SGS laboratory report with a favorable rating must be attained prior to production and shipping of merchandise. All reports will be reviewed and evaluated by Torrid Quality Assurance Division. This manual applies to Torrid and all its subsidiaries and divisions and is not to be reproduced, in part or in whole, without written permission from Torrid and SGS. October 24,
