Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL)
Market your electrical and electronic products in the U.S. and Canada
North America is poised for rapid economic growth. To capitalise on this fast-growing market, manufacturers and retailers of electrical and electronic products must achieve product certification and adhere to strict rules and legal requirements to avoid penalties and other risks. In addition, U.S. and Canadian customers demand superior product quality and safety. A third-party certificate provides proof that a product meets all these requirements.
A Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is a third-party organisation that certifies products for the North American market. NRTLs are recognised by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under Federal Code 29 CFR 1910.7 to provide product safety testing and certification for products to be used in the U.S. workplace. In Canada, only a Certification Body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) can perform such services.
The NRTL certificate offers clear evidence that your electrical and electronic products comply with the required standards of the North American market. By providing assurance that your products meet the safety requirements to enter the U.S. and Canada, NRTL certification enables you to capitalise on the lucrative potential of this region.
