Enables Intertek to further promote and ensure treestand safety for the hunting industry

CORTLAND, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, has been designated as an accredited third-party testing lab by the Treestand Manufacturer’s Association, a nonprofit trade association that devotes its resources to promoting the safety of treestands, elevated platforms secured to trees that are used by hunters to gain a better vantage point. Intertek’s Cortland, N.Y., lab is one of two labs designated for the testing of treestands, harnesses, and hunting saddles.

In addition to promoting treestand safety, a common goal of the Treestand Manufacturer’s Association is to develop performance standards, test methods, best practices, and terminology.
