Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider, has announced the launch of its Furnishings Verified Program, providing a level of transparency to the furnishings industry.
The furnishings industry demands transparency with regards to whether products meet industry standards and consumer and retailer specifications, as well as the product’s materials and overall sustainability.
The new program will allow manufacturers to illustrate how their products meet these standards and specifications with one short, concise report available via the Furnishings Verified Database and a document called the Verification of Conformity, given to the client.
This report provides clarity with regards to a product’s sustainability, quality, safety and performance. It also protects confidential or private product information appearing in longer form reports that manufacturers may not wish or need to disclose.
“Our goal at Intertek has always been to provide innovative Total Quality Assurance solutions to the industry,” said Brian Kneibel, general manager of furnishings. “We are thrilled to offer customers in the furnishings industry with a program that allows them to meet the demands of the industry and marketplace, through fast, efficient and easy testing means and documentation.”
