NRTL refers to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, which is the abbreviation of Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory in English. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires products used in the workplace to be tested and certified by a nationally recognized laboratory. Ensure the personal safety of users. In North America, manufacturers must conduct strict testing in accordance with national standards when legally selling products for civilian or industrial use on the market. Products can only be legally sold on the market if they pass relevant testing by a Nationally Recognized Laboratory (NRTL).

Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) are third-party organizations that certify products for the North American market. NRTL is recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under 29 CFR1910.7 to provide safety testing and certification services for products used in U.S. workplaces. In Canada, only certification bodies accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) can carry out such services.
