Wednesday, April 27, 2011
ATLANTA, GA – Peace of mind can be priceless in today’s volatile
economy. For buyers, end-users and anyone interested in learning more about
synthetic turf, the Synthetic Turf Council’s (STC) enhanced Certification
Program delivers just that by recognizing well-qualified companies whose
products and services come highly recommended.
"Our goal is to ensure certification criteria is rigorous
enough to have real value to members and the marketplace,” said Rick Doyle,
President of the Synthetic Turf Council.
"The Certification Program promotes the quality reputation of synthetic
turf systems, products and services while providing customers with additional
assurance and recourse, if necessary, that the system purchased will be as
agreed and specified.”
STC Certified companies have voluntarily committed to
deliver products or services that meet or exceed customer specifications, and
conduct themselves in a responsible businesslike manner. To qualify, each applicant must have a
minimum of two years of experience in providing their specific product or
service, provide up to twenty customer references which are independently
verified and agree to abide by the STC’s Code of Ethics. The association’s
Board of Directors recently approved several key program enhancements, such as
allowing members to apply in more than one category and detailing new
eligibility criteria within six overall categories: Builders, General
Contractors & Installers, Independent Professionals & Consultants,
Testing Labs, Material Manufacturers & Suppliers, and Specialty
Manufacturers & Service Providers.
The STC Certification Program is an exclusive benefit for
its member companies. To learn more,
