OSHA announced that TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. has applied to expand its recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) to include one more test site and four additional test standards. The agency has reviewed the applications and tentatively found that TUV Rheinland meets the necessary requirements. OSHA is now seeking public comments on this preliminary finding, and the final decision will be made by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. The deadline for submitting comments or requesting an extension is May 12, 2025.
Simple Explanation
TUV Rheinland, a company that tests if things are safe, wants to do more kinds of tests. OSHA, a group that makes sure places are safe, thinks this is okay but wants to hear what people think first.
