The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the US Department of Labor requires that products used in the workplace must be tested and certified by a nationally recognized laboratory.

Only after passing the relevant tests of the National Recognized Laboratory (NRTL) can the product be legally sold in the market.

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is a third-party organization that certifies products for the North American market. NRTL is recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the US Federal Code 29 CFR1910.7 to provide safety testing and certification services for products used in the US workplace.

NRTL meaning

Just like China's CCC certification, it is a mandatory safety certification for products sold in North America. However, unlike the CCC certification, which has a high degree of mandatory and no unified certification logo, there are only 16 test laboratories authorized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The products used must be rigorously tested in accordance with US national standards.

The NRTL certification helps to increase the brand awareness of companies in related industries and markets in North America, and guide consumers to purchase products that satisfy their safety requirements. Through product structure inspection and related tests, it can effectively protect the safety and health of consumers, increase customer satisfaction, and thereby gain a larger market.
