Form I General Completion Directions
OSHA safety standards require that specified equipment and materials (products) be tested and certified for safety by an OSHA-recognized organization. OSHA’s Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) Program fulfills this responsibility by recognizing the capabilities of mainly private sector testing organizations to test and certify such products for manufacturers. To be recognized, an organization must meet OSHA’s requirements. Initial recognition is granted if the application and an on-site audit of the organization demonstrate the applicant has the capability to test and certify products for safety. An organization must have the necessary capability both as a testing laboratory and as a product certification body to receive OSHA recognition as a NRTL. Once recognized, OSHA reviews each NRTL’s activities to assure it continues to comply. The NRTL can also request an expansion of its recognition. This form, and its attachments, asks the NRTL to verify its general information as well as provide specific information related to its facilities and capabilities to meet NRTL Program requirements. Completing this form is entirely voluntary. Each applicant is free to submit an application for initial recognition or expansion using any form it chooses. However, OSHA will consider applications that do not contain the information requested in this form to be deficient and may delay or deny the request. An applicant that chooses to use this form for initial recognition or expansion must send: (1) this completed form; (2) any additional information it wishes to submit to demonstrate capabilities to meet NRTL Program requirements; 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].
