Are other testing laboratories or listing organizations than Underwriters Laboratories recognized by the OSFM?
A. Yes. There are other third party testing and product listing organizations that are recognized by the OSFM. For example, ASTs listed in accordance with the standards of Southwest Research Institute are acceptable as are tanks constructed in accordance with the standards of the Steel Tank Institute. Although ASTs manufactured in accordance with Underwriter’s Laboratories standards are acceptable, it is not the intent of the agency to exclude the testing work conducted by other legitimate independent testing organizations.
