OSHA has announced the expansion of recognition for TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. (TUVRNA), allowing them to add a new testing site in Taiwan as part of their Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) scope. This expansion, which takes effect on January 23, 2025, enables TUVRNA to conduct product testing and certification at the new location, provided they comply with specific standards and conditions set by OSHA. TUVRNA must notify OSHA of any significant changes in its operations or ownership and continue to adhere to all regulatory requirements.
Simple Explanation
Imagine a toy store gets permission to open a new section. This means it can now check if new toys are safe to play with, just like it does in its other sections. A group called OSHA has allowed TUV Rheinland to do the same by letting it check and certify products in Taiwan, as long as they follow the rules.
