$WDRP .021 News Wanderport Hires Independent Laboratory to Validate Eco-Friendly Microwave Tank-less Water Heater Performance Efficiency Results
NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Wanderport Corp. (OTC Markets-PINKSHEETS: "WDRP") today announced Intertek Group plc, a worldwide recognized leader in independent, cost-effective performance efficiency testing and certification services, has been contracted to test and validate performance efficiency results on the innovative microwave energy tank-less water heater.
According to the Company, Intertek's mandate includes:
To evaluate a fully functioning microwave water heating unit
To safely complete performance efficiency testing services and analysis, while taking into consideration the unique nature and characteristics of Wanderport's microwave water heating unit and technology
To supply Intertek's independent interpretation of their efficiency analysis performed on the eco-friendly microwave tank-less water heater.
Intertek Group plc test a host of certification marks and North American market standards including ETL, CSA and UL. They boast testing proficiency rooted in a long history of success with over 127 years experience through their expansive network of global laboratories and offices. Their expertise includes troubleshooting, safety, quality control, research and development, design engineering and evaluation, as well as, prototype testing, validation and product benchmark testing. While International and local regulations continuously evolve, Intertek assists their clients to identify where hazards are likely to occur and to maintain requisite regulatory and legal compliance.
"Wanderport is in an enviable position transacting with two of the world's foremost independent certification Laboratories namely Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) and now Intertek Group plc. When we presented the technology to UL in a past consultation, we were very pleased by UL's willingness to acknowledge our technology's credibility and distinct nature by means of a proposal to create a 'New and Innovative' product category for our product. This relationship, combined with Intertek's certified efficiency results suddenly offers Wanderport hard facts and leverage for upcoming negotiations to secure a strategic alliance with a leading manufacturer and should reduce the company's risk by shortening the product's time-to-market," stated Mr. Robert Simoneau, Wanderport's Technical Advisor and product Licensor.
"Initially, we had intended to provide 'in house' efficiency performance results; however, we soon realized it would be virtually impossible to support our claims without validating them by a recognized third party laboratory. Intertek's group of professional technicians, safe testing environment and state-of-the-art research analysis tools provide a setting that Wanderport alone could not offer. In order to add credibility and gain a competitive edge, management's new objective is to use Intertek's certified performance efficiency results and a demonstration of our fully functioning unit o illustrate how our technology stacks up against other existing products in the industry. We feel this will go a long way to tip the pendulum in our favor," affirmed Mr. Richard Martel, Wanderport's CEO. "We anticipate releasing Intertek's performance efficiency test results no later than November 15th, 2012. In the interim, it is the company's intention to follow-up on its promise to release recent pictures of the unit including its interior, as a well as, a video demonstrating its functionality and capacity to increase water temperature," further stated Mr. Martel.
