# Bangladesh Factory Visit Checklist -- What to Check Before Placing an Order

By TAEEN TeamJuly 20, 202622 min read

![Bangladesh Factory Visit Checklist -- What to Check Before Placing an Order](https://taeen.com.bd/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fblog%2Ffactory-visit-checklist-bangladesh.webp&w=3840&q=75)

**Quick Answer:** A Bangladesh factory visit checklist covers 8 critical areas: facility infrastructure (building safety, fire exits, power backup), compliance documentation (BSCI, SEDEX, WRAP certificates, trade licences), production capability (machinery, capacity, specialisation), quality systems (inline QC, AQL inspection, lab testing), social compliance (worker welfare, wages, working hours), environmental compliance (ETP, chemical management, certifications), supply chain transparency (subcontracting policy, fabric sourcing), and commercial terms (MOQ, lead time, payment terms, IP protection). This guide walks through each area with specific questions to ask and red flags to watch for. For a comprehensive overview, see our [buying house in Bangladesh — complete guide](https://taeen.com.bd/) guide.

For international apparel brands sourcing from Bangladesh, a factory visit is the single most important due diligence step you can take. No audit report, reference call, or video tour replaces walking the production floor, speaking with line supervisors, and seeing how a factory actually operates when nobody is performing for a visitor. Bangladesh has over 4,500 garment factories — the gap between the top 10% and the bottom 50% is enormous in terms of compliance, quality consistency, and delivery reliability.

This comprehensive checklist gives you a repeatable framework for evaluating any Bangladesh garment factory before placing an order. It covers what to look for, what to ask, what documents to request, and which red flags should make you walk away. For broader context on Bangladesh sourcing, see our [garment buying house in Bangladesh — complete guide](https://taeen.com.bd/ "Buying House in Bangladesh — TAEEN"). For compliance-specific frameworks, see our [Bangladesh compliance guide](https://taeen.com.bd/blog/compliance-bangladesh-guide) and [factory audit guide](https://taeen.com.bd/blog/bangladesh-factory-audit-guide).

## Why Factory Visits Matter in Bangladesh

Bangladesh's garment sector has made remarkable progress since the 2013 Rana Plaza tragedy. The Accord on Fire and Building Safety (now the International Accord) and the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety drove massive investment in structural safety, fire protection, and electrical systems. Today, hundreds of factories hold BSCI, SEDEX, WRAP, or SA8000 certifications. LEED-certified green factories are increasingly common.

Yet the variance remains wide. A factory can hold a valid BSCI certificate and still have chronic quality issues, unauthorised subcontracting, or capacity constraints that cause chronic late delivery. A factory can pass a scheduled audit and revert to unsafe practices the week after the auditor leaves. The only way to know what you are actually buying into is to visit — unannounced if possible, or at minimum with a detailed checklist and enough time to go deep.

## Pre-Visit Preparation

### 1\. Define Your Non-Negotiables

Before you step onto the factory floor, know exactly what you cannot compromise on. Typical non-negotiables for international brands include:

-   **Zero tolerance for unauthorised subcontracting** — all production must happen at the visited facility or pre-approved satellite units
-   **Valid fire safety clearance** — current fire licence, functional fire detection/suppression, clear evacuation routes
-   **Structural safety certificate** — especially for multi-storey buildings in older industrial zones
-   **No child labour, no forced labour** — verified through worker interviews and document review
-   **Minimum wage compliance** — current Bangladesh minimum wage (৳12,500/month as of 2026) paid on time with proper overtime calculation
-   **Working hours within legal limits** — maximum 60 hours/week including overtime, one day off per week
-   **Functional effluent treatment plant (ETP)** — for wet processing factories (dyeing, washing, printing)
-   **Quality system with inline inspection** — not just end-of-line final inspection

### 2\. Assemble Your Visit Team

A proper factory visit requires at minimum two people with complementary expertise:

-   **Technical/Production lead** — evaluates machinery, capacity, construction capability, quality systems
-   **Compliance/Social lead** — evaluates worker welfare, documentation, fire/structural safety, environmental compliance

If you are working with a [buying house in Bangladesh](https://taeen.com.bd/blog/bangladesh-buying-house-list), their QC and compliance managers should accompany you. TAEEN's factory visit protocol always deploys a two-person team with a standardised checklist.

### 3\. Request Documents in Advance

Ask the factory to prepare the following before your visit. A transparent factory will have these ready; a reluctant one will delay or provide incomplete sets:

-   Valid trade licence and factory registration (RJSC, BGMEA/BKMEA membership)
-   Current BSCI/SEDEX/WRAP/SA8000 certificates with audit dates and expiration
-   Fire licence and structural safety certificate (if applicable)
-   ETP clearance certificate (for wet processing)
-   Organogram with key personnel names and contact details
-   Machine list with capacities and age
-   Production capacity statement by category (monthly pieces)
-   Current buyer list (at least 3 references you can contact)
-   Last 6 months of internal QC reports and AQL inspection results
-   Worker committee meeting minutes (last 6 months)
-   Grievance mechanism records
-   Chemical inventory and MSDS files (for wet processing)

## Area 1: Facility Infrastructure & Building Safety

### What to Check

| Checkpoint | What to Look For | Red Flags |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Building structure** | RCC (reinforced concrete) construction, columns/beams visible, no visible cracks or spalling, load-bearing walls unmodified | Unauthorised additional floors, visible structural cracks, columns encased in brick without engineering sign-off |
| **Fire exits** | Minimum 2 exits per floor, outward-opening, unobstructed, illuminated signage, panic hardware, lead to safe assembly area | Locked exits, sliding grills, exits opening inward, blocked by fabric rolls/machinery, single exit per floor |
| **Fire detection & suppression** | Addressable fire alarm system, smoke/heat detectors in all zones, sprinkler system (mandatory for >3 floors), fire extinguishers every 30m, fire hydrant system, fire pump with diesel backup | Only manual call points, no sprinklers in high-rise, expired extinguishers, fire pump not tested monthly |
| **Electrical safety** | Dedicated electrical room, circuit breakers labelled, no temporary wiring, cable trays not overloaded, generator with automatic transfer switch, earth leakage protection | Daisy-chained extension cords, exposed wiring, electrical panels blocked, no generator or untested generator |
| **Lighting & ventilation** | Minimum 500 lux at sewing stations, 750 lux at inspection stations, natural + mechanical ventilation, temperature <30°C | Dim lighting, workers using phone flashlights, excessive heat/humidity, no exhaust fans in chemical areas |
| **Power backup** | Generator capacity ≥80% of connected load, weekly test logs, fuel for 8+ hours, automatic start on grid failure | Undersized generator, no test logs, fuel for <2 hours, manual start only |
| **Water & sanitation** | Potable water stations (1 per 50 workers), clean toilets (1 per 25 women, 1 per 50 men), soap, hand drying, gender-separated | Insufficient toilets, no soap, shared gender facilities, water not tested |

### Key Questions to Ask

-   "When was the last structural safety assessment? Can I see the engineer's report?"
-   "How often are fire drills conducted? Show me the last 3 drill records."
-   "What is the generator test schedule? Can I see the logbook?"
-   "Is the building shared with other tenants? What do they do?" (Mixed-use buildings with chemical storage or heavy machinery below garment floors are high risk)

## Area 2: Compliance Documentation & Certifications

### Certificate Verification Checklist

For each certificate, verify: issuing body, audit date, expiration date, scope (which buildings/processes covered), and any major/minor non-conformities. Cross-check on the certifier's public database where available.

| Certificate | Verifier | Validity | Key Check |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **BSCI** | amfori BSCI database | 1 year (A/B/C rating) | Rating ≥ C, zero critical NCs, CAP completed |
| **SEDEX/SMETA** | SEDEX platform | 1 year (2-pillar or 4-pillar) | 4-pillar preferred, NC closure evidence |
| **WRAP** | WRAP database | 6 months to 2 years (Platinum/Gold/Silver) | Platinum/Gold preferred, no probation |
| **SA8000** | SAAS/accredited CB | 3 years (surveillance audits) | Highest tier, management system maturity |
| **OEKO-TEX STeP** | OEKO-TEX database | 3 years | Level 3 for mature systems |
| **LEED (Green Building)** | USGBC database | Permanent (recertification optional) | Gold/Platinum for top-tier factories |
| **ISO 9001** | Accredited CB | 3 years | Quality management system scope |
| **ISO 14001** | Accredited CB | 3 years | Environmental management scope |
| **ISO 45001** | Accredited CB | 3 years | OH&S management scope |

### Red Flags in Documentation

-   **Certificate scope mismatch:** Certificate covers Building A but production happens in Building B
-   **Audit shopping:** Different certification body every year, or certificate issued by non-accredited body
-   **Stale certificates:** Expired >3 months with no surveillance audit scheduled
-   **Missing CAP evidence:** Major non-conformities from last audit with no corrective action plan closure proof
-   **Single-certificate factories:** Only one framework (e.g., only BSCI) — mature factories typically hold 2–3 complementary certifications

## Area 3: Production Capability & Specialisation

### Machine & Capacity Verification

Request the machine list in advance and verify on the floor. Count machines yourself — do not rely on the list alone.

| Category | Key Machines to Verify | Capacity Indicators |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Knit (T-shirts, polos, activewear)** | Single needle lockstitch, overlock, flatlock, coverstitch, buttonhole, bartack, fabric inspection machine, spreading machine | Lines × 25–30 machines × 22 days × efficiency % = monthly pcs |
| **Woven (shirts, trousers, jackets)** | Single needle lockstitch, overlock, buttonhole, bartack, fusing press, pocket setter, collar turning, fabric inspection | Lines × 20–25 machines × 22 days × efficiency % = monthly pcs |
| **Denim** | Heavy-duty lockstitch, chainstitch, bartack, pocket setter, belt loop, laser/ozone finishing, washing machines, hydro extractor, tumbler dryer | Washing capacity (kg/batch) × batches/day = bottleneck indicator |
| **Sweater (flat knit)** | Shima Seiki/Stoll machines (gauge 3–18), linking machines, steaming boards, panel inspection | Machines × gauge × shift hours = panel capacity |
| **Outerwear / Down** | Down fill machine, seam sealing/taping, ultrasonic welding, waterproof test chamber | Seam sealing capacity (m/hr) = critical bottleneck |

### Specialisation Assessment

A factory claiming "we do everything" is often a red flag. The best factories specialise in 1–2 product categories and excel at them. Ask:

-   "What percentage of your current production is \[your product category\]?" — Target ≥60%
-   "Show me 3 recent orders similar to my product." — Request tech packs, spec sheets, QC reports
-   "What is your current capacity utilisation?" — Target 70–85%. <60% = financial stress risk. >95% = lead time risk.
-   "Do you have dedicated lines for my category, or mixed lines?" — Dedicated lines = better quality consistency

### Sample Room Evaluation

The sample room reveals a factory's true technical capability. Check:

-   Dedicated sample machinists (not pulled from production lines)
-   Full size range development capability (XS–3XL or 36–48)
-   Pattern making: CAD system (Gerber/Lectra/Investronica) vs manual
-   Grading: digital grading vs manual
-   Proto → Fit → PP sample turnaround times (should match our [sample development guide](https://taeen.com.bd/blog/sample-development-bangladesh-factory) timelines)
-   Sample approval rate with current buyers (target ≥80% first-pass)

## Area 4: Quality Systems & Inspection Processes

### Inline Quality Control

Inline QC is the single biggest predictor of final shipment quality. A factory relying only on final random inspection (FRI) will have higher rework costs and later defect detection.

**What to verify:**

-   **Inline QC headcount:** Minimum 1 QC per 2 lines, ideally 1 per line
-   **Inline checkpoints:** Spreading, cutting, sewing (critical operations), finishing, packing
-   **Checkpoint standards:** Written workmanship standards with photos for each operation
-   **Defect recording:** Real-time defect capture (tablet/app) not paper end-of-day
-   **Feedback loop:** Defect data fed back to line supervisor within 30 minutes
-   **Rework tracking:** Rework rate by operation, rework time tracked separately

### Final Inspection (FRI) Protocol

Verify the factory's internal FRI process before your third-party inspector arrives:

-   **AQL levels used internally:** Should match your requirements (typically 1.5/2.5 or 2.5/4.0)
-   **Sampling method:** ISO 2859-1 / ANSI Z1.4 single normal sampling
-   **Inspection environment:** Dedicated QC room, proper lighting (D65/1000 lux), measurement tools calibrated
-   **Inspector independence:** QC reports to factory GM/owner, not production manager
-   **Failed lot procedure:** 100% re-inspection after rework, not "ship anyway"
-   **QC report format:** Photos of defects, measurements, packing checklist, carton drop test

### Lab Testing Capability

For fabric and trim validation, check if the factory has in-house lab or uses accredited external labs:

-   Physical: GSM, shrinkage, pilling, abrasion, tear strength, colourfastness (wash, rub, light, perspiration)
-   Chemical: RSL/AFIRM testing, formaldehyde, pH, AZO dyes, heavy metals, phthalates
-   Partner labs: Intertek, Bureau Veritas, SGS, TÜV, Eurofins — verify account and turnaround times

## Area 5: Social Compliance & Worker Welfare

### Worker Interviews (Conduct Privately, Off-Site If Possible)

This is the most revealing part of any factory visit. Select 5–10 workers across different departments, genders, and tenure. Ask open-ended questions:

-   "How long have you worked here?"
-   "What is your base salary? Overtime rate? When do you get paid?"
-   "How many hours did you work last week? Last month?"
-   "Do you get a day off every week?"
-   "Have you ever been forced to work overtime?"
-   "How do you raise a concern? Has it been resolved?"
-   "Do you pay any recruitment fees or deposits?"
-   "Are you a member of the worker committee / trade union?"
-   "Do you feel safe in the building?"
-   "What happens if you refuse overtime?"

### Documentation Cross-Check

Compare worker interview responses against:

-   Payroll records (last 6 months) — check overtime calculation, minimum wage compliance, timely payment
-   Time records (biometric/card) — check against payroll, look for "ghost" overtime
-   Leave records — annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave (16 weeks paid per Bangladesh law)
-   Worker committee minutes — frequency, agenda, action items, management response
-   Grievance register — number, nature, resolution time, retaliation checks
-   Age verification — birth certificates, national ID, school leaving certificates (zero tolerance for <18 in hazardous work, <14 in any work)

### Accommodation & Canteen (If Provided)

-   Dormitory: space per worker (≥4 sq m), ventilation, fire safety, gender separation, lockers
-   Canteen: hygienic, subsidised meals, capacity for all workers, food safety licence
-   Medical: first aid room, trained first aiders (1 per 150 workers), doctor visits, ambulance access
-   Transport: factory bus for late shifts (safety critical for women workers)

## Area 6: Environmental Compliance (Critical for Wet Processing)

If the factory does dyeing, washing, printing, or finishing on-site, environmental compliance is non-negotiable. Brands are legally liable under EU CSDDD, German LkSG, and similar regulations for environmental damage in their supply chain.

### Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) Verification

-   **Valid ETP clearance certificate** from Department of Environment (DoE) — check expiration
-   **ETP capacity vs actual load:** Design capacity (m³/day) ≥ actual discharge × 1.2 safety factor
-   **Treatment stages:** Primary (screening, equalisation), Secondary (biological — aeration tank, clarifier), Tertiary (filtration, carbon, RO if ZLD)
-   **Online monitoring:** pH, TDS, BOD, COD, flow meters connected to DoE server (mandatory for large factories)
-   **Sludge management:** Dewatered, hazardous waste manifest, authorised disposal site
-   **ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge):** Required for new factories; existing factories transitioning. RO reject management critical.
-   **Rainwater separation:** Stormwater not mixed with effluent

### Chemical Management

-   **Chemical inventory:** Complete list with SDS, ZDHC MRSL conformance levels
-   **Storage:** Bunded, ventilated, segregated by hazard class, spill kits, eyewash stations
-   **Dispensing:** Automated dosing systems (not manual pouring), PPE for handlers
-   **RSL/AFIRM compliance:** Restricted Substances List testing on finished goods, input chemical screening
-   **ZDHC Gateway registration:** Chemical supplier transparency

### Energy & Emissions

-   Boiler: fuel type (gas/coal/biomass), efficiency, emission control (ESP/baghouses for coal)
-   Generator: stack height, emission testing records
-   Energy efficiency: LED lighting, VFDs on motors, heat recovery from boiler/ETP
-   Renewable: rooftop solar (increasingly common on LEED factories)

## Area 7: Supply Chain Transparency & Subcontracting Control

Unauthorised subcontracting is one of the biggest risks in Bangladesh sourcing. A factory wins your order on its compliance and quality, then quietly sends 30% of production to an unvetted subcontractor.

### Subcontracting Policy Verification

-   **Written subcontracting policy:** Approved vendor list, buyer approval required, same standards applied
-   **Approved subcontractor list:** Visit each one. If they won't let you visit a subcontractor, walk away.
-   **Capacity disclosure:** Factory must disclose % of capacity subcontracted (target <15% for core processes)
-   **Process segregation:** Critical processes (cutting, sewing, washing) kept in-house; only non-critical (embroidery, printing, packing) subcontracted
-   **Traceability:** Bundle tracking system linking each garment to production line, operator, date

### Fabric & Trim Sourcing Transparency

-   **Approved mill list:** For fabric, trims, packaging — shared with buyer
-   **Fabric inspection:** 4-point system or 10-point system at fabric receipt, records maintained
-   **Nomination rights:** Buyer can nominate fabric/trim suppliers; factory must accept
-   **Test reports:** Fabric lab tests (physical + chemical) available for every lot

## Area 8: Commercial Terms & Risk Management

### MOQ & Lead Time Reality Check

Verify the factory's claimed MOQs and lead times against actual current orders:

-   "Show me the production schedule for the last 3 orders of my category." — Check actual vs planned dates
-   "What is your current fabric lead time for my construction?" — Local vs import, stock vs custom dye
-   "What happens if I need a rush order?" — Overtime policy, capacity buffer, express fabric options
-   "Can you do 500 pieces per colour for a test order?" — Many factories say yes but prioritise larger orders

### Payment Terms & Financial Health

-   Standard terms: 30% deposit (LC or TT), 70% against shipping documents
-   Letter of Credit: at sight vs usance, confirmed vs unconfirmed, partial shipments allowed
-   Factory financials: audited financial statements (last 2 years), bank reference, BGMEA financial health rating
-   Raw material financing: Does factory need buyer deposit to buy fabric? (Cash flow risk indicator)

### IP Protection & Confidentiality

-   NDA signed before tech pack sharing
-   Design segregation: your patterns/samples not visible to other buyers' merchandisers
-   Digital security: CAD files on isolated network, USB ports disabled, cloud access controlled
-   Sample custody: Proto/fit/PP samples returned or destroyed, not retained for other buyers

### Insurance & Liability

-   Factory insurance: property, business interruption, employer's liability, public liability
-   Product liability: Does factory carry product recall/contamination insurance?
-   Contractual liability caps: Negotiate reasonable caps (not "total liability limited to order value")

## Post-Visit Decision Framework

### Scoring Template

Rate each area 1–5 (1 = critical fail, 5 = best-in-class). Weight by your priority:

| Area | Weight | Score (1-5) | Weighted |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1\. Facility & Building Safety | 20% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 2\. Compliance Documentation | 15% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 3\. Production Capability | 20% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 4\. Quality Systems | 20% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 5\. Social Compliance | 10% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 6\. Environmental Compliance | 10% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 7\. Supply Chain Transparency | 5% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| 8\. Commercial Terms | 5% | \_\_ | \_\_ |
| TOTAL | 100% | — | \_\_ / 5.0 |

### Decision Thresholds

-   **≥4.0:** Approve for production — proceed with contract and first order
-   **3.0–3.9:** Conditional approval — define CAP (Corrective Action Plan) with deadlines, re-audit before first order
-   **<3.0:** Do not approve — fundamental gaps, high risk
-   **Any Area 1 score = 1:** Automatic fail — building safety is non-negotiable
-   **Any Area 5 score = 1:** Automatic fail — labour rights violations are non-negotiable

## Common Factory Visit Mistakes to Avoid

1.  **Announced visits only:** Always request one unannounced follow-up visit before committing volume
2.  **Only visiting the showcase line:** Walk every floor, every building, including warehouse, chemical store, worker accommodation
3.  **Relying on certificates alone:** Certificates are baseline, not proof of daily practice
4.  **Skipping worker interviews:** The most revealing 30 minutes of your visit
5.  **Not checking subcontractors:** If they use them, you must visit them
6.  **Ignoring the neighbourhood:** Factory in a flood-prone area, industrial zone with frequent unrest, poor transport links = supply chain risk
7.  **No photos/video:** Document everything (with permission). Create a visit dossier for internal stakeholders.
8.  **Solo visits:** Always go with a colleague or your buying house QC/compliance lead

## How TAEEN Manages Factory Visits

As a full-service [garment buying house in Bangladesh](https://taeen.com.bd/ "Buying House in Bangladesh — TAEEN"), TAEEN conducts factory visits on behalf of clients using this exact checklist framework. Our process:

1.  **Pre-screening:** We only visit factories that pass our document review and desktop assessment
2.  **Two-person teams:** QC lead + Compliance lead, standardised checklist, photo documentation
3.  **Unannounced follow-ups:** Every approved factory receives at least one unannounced visit per year
4.  Every visit generates a scored report with CAP for any gaps
5.  **Ongoing monitoring:** Monthly WIP visits during production, not just pre-order
6.  **Client transparency:** Full visit reports shared with clients, including red flags and our recommendation

This rigorous approach is why brands trust TAEEN to manage their Bangladesh supply chain — we only work with factories that pass this checklist consistently.
