What is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)?
A NRTL is a private sector organization that has met the necessary OSHA specified regulations for the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory Program. The NRTL determines that specific products meet consensus-based standards of safety and assures that these products are safe for use in the U.S. workplace. Electrically Powered Industrial Trucks used in hazardous areas are required by OSHA to be approved by a NRTL.
