What changed
OSHA has opened a public comment period on TUV SUD America's request to expand its NRTL recognition to include additional test standards. TUV SUD America is currently recognized by OSHA for testing and certifying certain products, and now seeks to broaden the scope of its recognition. Interested parties including manufacturers, testing laboratories, and safety professionals may submit comments supporting or opposing the expansion. Comments will be reviewed by OSHA before making a determination on whether to approve the expanded recognition.
Affected parties should consider whether TUV SUD America's expanded recognition would impact their testing and certification needs. Manufacturers using TUV SUD America for product safety certification may benefit from expanded test standard coverage. Industry stakeholders with knowledge of TUV SUD America's testing capabilities or concerns about the expansion should submit comments by the April 29 deadline.
