The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced the applications of MET Laboratories, Inc., for expanding their recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). This expansion would allow MET to include four additional test standards in their scope. OSHA is also proposing to add two new test standards to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards. The public is invited to submit comments about these expansions and proposals by February 5, 2021.
Simple Explanation
OSHA wants to let a company called MET Laboratories check more things to make sure they are safe, like adding more types of tests they can do. They also want to introduce two new safety tests and are asking people to say what they think by sending their ideas before February 5, 2021.
