Stork laboratory hosting ISPA tours

SAINT PAUL, MN—July 7, 2006

Stork Twin City Testing's Product Evaluation department is pleased to welcome members of the International Sleep Products Association to the St. Paul laboratory for tours and flammability testing demonstrations on July 11, 2006. The plant visit is part of the SHOPtalk Flammability series, technical bedding seminar events that are scheduled this summer at various locations and sponsored by ISPA and the Sleep Products Safety Council (SPSC).
 
"We're excited to receive our friends and colleagues from the bedding industry," said Amy Ostergren, Project Manager of Bedding Evaluation Services. "The new federal mattress flammability standard is a pressing issue for all of us, so this SHOPtalk is a great venue for demonstrating how an effective testing program works and explaining some of the technical details involved in mattress flammability testing to this and other criteria."
