Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, has recently been officially recognized by Walmart once again and has become one of the designated third-party testing laboratories for the Crafts department (Crafts, D19, D44, D52). 

The Crafts department encompasses a diverse range of products such as home decorations, festive items, and handicraft materials. Its compliance directly affects consumer trust and brand reputation. As a reliable and trusted partner of Walmart for many years, Intertek has a clear understanding of Walmart's various requirements in terms of product quality, supplier management, factory audits, and more.

In response to the characteristics of the crafts industry, Intertek provides a wide range of standard testing and quality performance evaluation services, including but not limited to:

• Material Safety Testing: Regulatory testing of the toxicological risks of inks, paints, crayons, and craft decorations to ensure compliance with U. S. and International regulatory requirements;
• Child Product Compliance: CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of the United States), EN 71 (European Toy Safety Standard), etc., to ensure the safety of children's handicraft toys;
• Pen Product Safety: BS 7272, ISO 11540 standard testing, etc., to ensure that children's pen caps and end plugs meet the anti-choking requirements.

Previously, Intertek had already obtained the qualifications of an accredited laboratory for multiple categories recognized by Walmart, such as food contact materials, kitchen appliances, pet products testing, sports helmets, etc. The addition of the Crafts department this time will inspire Intertek to continuously leverage its global service network and technical advantages, further deepen the collaborative cooperation between the two parties, provide more efficient and reliable compliance support for supply chain enterprises, and bring higher-quality and safer products to global consumers.
