Intertek Launches iPad™ Version of the Popular RSL & Textile Products App
01 Mar 2011
Hong Kong and Oak Brook, IL – Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries around the world, launched its RSL Textile & Footwear Products mobile digital device application (app), as part of its ongoing commitment to providing best-in-class services for consumer goods testing, inspection and compliance professionals. The RSL Textile & Footwear Products for iPad® app was developed in response to growing demand for instant access to key information by industry professionals, with an aim to help them stay in the loop about the constantly changing regulations in the world of textile compliance while they are on the go.
Intertek previously developed the same app for the iPhone® mobile phone, the RSL Textile & Footwear Products app, which has amassed some 1,500 downloads from users across 60 countries since its debut, making it one of the most popular apps for professionals in the testing, inspection and certification industry.
In addition to the functions of its predecessor, the new RSL Textile & Footwear Products for iPad® app features an enhanced interface that allows quicker access to practical and valuable resources with regard to major aspects of textiles, from fibers, yarns and fabrics to finished products, in addition to legislation specific to the European Union and countries within the European Economic Area.
“Since its launch in April 2010, nearly 15 million iPad® tablets have been sold, illustrating strong consumer demand for portability to meet business needs,” said William Quilindo, IT Business Relationship Director, Intertek Consumer Goods. “Many of our customers and other industry professionals need access while travelling or working remotely to resources like RSL textile regulations. The iPad® platform enables Intertek to provide our customers access to information at their fingertips using this valuable tool.”
