Description: A number of standards issued by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) contain requirements for
equipment, products, or materials. These standards often specify that
employers use only equipment, products, or material tested or approved
by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL); this requirement
ensures that employers use safe equipment, products, or materials in
complying with the standards. Accordingly, OSHA promulgated the
regulation titled "Definition and Requirements for a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory" (the Regulation). The Regulation
specifies procedures that organizations must follow to apply for, and
to maintain, OSHA's recognition to test and certify equipment,
products, or material for this purpose. For additional information, see
the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2010,
(Vol. 75 FR 9953).
Dated: August 31, 2010.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
