OSHA is considering expanding Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.’s approved scope as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. That means Intertek could be allowed to test and certify a wider range of products for workplace safety compliance if OSHA finalizes the approval. Manufacturers, employers, product compliance teams, and safety professionals may be affected if they rely on NRTL certifications. Comments or requests for more time to comment are due by June 8, 2026, and must reference Docket No. OSHA-2007-0039.
