Form Completion Directions
General Guidance
OSHA’s recognition of a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is valid for five years unless OSHA terminates recognition before the expiration of the five-year period. A recognized NRTL may renew its recognition by filing a renewal request not less than nine months or more than one year before the expiration of its current recognition. Each NRTL may apply for a continuation of its recognition status by following the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, App. A.II.C. This form serves a Renewal Request and as a Certification of Continued Compliance with NRTL Program requirements. The form asks the NRTL to verify its general information as well as verify its compliance with NRTL Program requirements. Completing this form is entirely voluntary. Each NRTL is free to apply for renewal or certify continued compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7 in any form it chooses. However, OSHA will consider a renewal request or certification that does not contain the information requested in this form to be deficient and may delay or deny the renewal. An NRTL that chooses to use this form for a renewal request or to certify its continued compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7 must send: (1) this completed form; (2) any additional information it wishes to submit to demonstrate its compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7; and (3) payment to: Director Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management Occupational Safety and Health Administration US Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N3655 Washington, DC 20210 Completed and signed forms and any accompanying documentation may also be scanned and emailed to [email protected].
