USA Market Access for Safety

Safety approval

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) developed the Safety and Health Information Bulletin (SHIB) to enhance understanding of standards related to OSHA's Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) Program.

A number of OSHA standards contain requirements for "approval" of specific products by the NRTL. The NRTL's approval process generally consists of testing, inspection, and certification of a product by the NRTL.

The OSHA standards do not specify the safety requirements that products must meet. These requirements are specified by U.S. standards-developing organizations.

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) are third-party organizations recognized by OSHA as having the technical capability to perform safety testing and certification of particular types of products.

After certifying a product, the NRTL authorizes the manufacturer to apply the NRTL's registered certification mark on the product.

Categories of equipment (products) are required to be approved by a NRTL, per provisions of the General Industry Standards (Part 1910 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations) can be found here.
