US NRTL certification profile
NRTL stands for Nationally Recognized Laboratory and is the abbreviation of English Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the U.S. Department of Labor requires that products used in the workplace must be tested and certified by a nationally recognized laboratory. Ensure the personal safety of users. In North America, manufacturers legally selling civilian or industrial products on the market must undergo rigorous testing in accordance with national standards. Only after passing the relevant tests of the Nationally Recognized Laboratory (NRTL) can the product be legally sold on the market.
The Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is a third-party agency that certifies products for the North American market. NRTL is accredited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under US Federal Code 29 CFR1910.7 to provide safety testing and certification services for products used in US workplaces. In Canada, only certification bodies accredited by the Canadian Standards Council (SCC) can perform such services.

NRTL significance
Like China's CCC certification, it is a compulsory safety certification of North American countries for products sold on the market. But unlike the CCC certification, which is highly compulsory and does not have a unified certification logo, there are only 16 test laboratories authorized by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Manufacturers legally sell civilian or industrial products on the market. Products used must be rigorously tested in accordance with US national standards.
NRTL certification is more helpful to improve the brand awareness of companies in the related industries and markets in North America, and guide consumers to purchase products that meet their safety requirements. Through structural inspection and related tests of the products, the safety and health of consumers can be effectively protected, customer satisfaction can be increased, and a larger market can be obtained.
