Intertek to provide quality awareness with CII

Consumers expect soft home furnishings and furniture to not only suit their individual lifestyles,but also to be made of high quality,safe fabrics.

While satisfying customer demand,manufacturers and retailers must also be aware of and meet the continuously changing national and international standards. To help wade through these standards,Intertek,a leading global provider of quality and safety solutions,and the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) recently held a seminar in Karur on quality and compliance awareness for the home textile industry,which was attended by nearly 70 CII member companies.
