    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.
Linda Watts Thomas,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
