NRTL refers to the nationally recognized testing laboratory, which is the abbreviation of the English nationally recognized testing laboratory. It is a third-party organization approved by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in accordance with section 1910.7 OF TITLE 29 of the federal regulations. In North America, manufacturers who legally sell products for civil or industrial use in the market must strictly test them in accordance with national standards. Only after passing the relevant tests of the national accreditation Laboratory (NRTL), the product can be legally sold on the market.
In the United States, NRTL provides safety testing and certification services for products used in the workplace. In Canada, the above services are performed by a certification body accredited by the Canadian Standards Council (SCC).
Only the occupational health and safety administration of the United States can authorize a third-party independent laboratory as a nationally recognized laboratory. The authorized laboratory has the authority to carry out relevant tests on the products, and issue the corresponding product safety certificate after the products pass all relevant tests.
