Bostjan, I manage the NRTL program for OSHA, but I’m responding from my personal account and nothing I say here should be construed as an official statement on behalf of OSHA. I’m simply a private citizen who is knowledgeable about the NRTL program.
With that disclaimer out of the way, OSHA has not changed, and I see no foreseeable change that would disallow a NRTL to accept evaluation or test data from an independent (test lab) or non-independent (equipment manufacturer). OSHA did officially terminate its Satellite Notification and Acceptance Program (SNAP) in October 2023, but that only impacted testing and evaluation facilities owned by the NRTL. The termination of SNAP was first announced in 2019 and was delayed a couple years (largely due to the pandemic). If you would like to move this conversation over to my “official channels”, feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 202-693-1911.

We were operating under partner lab program for many years and now we got information that this program is not allowed anymore by OSHA. Any thoughts?
