Doug Am aware of the OSHA requirements for NRTLs (29CFR1910.7), as I was recently involved in an issue pertaining to the legal requirements vs internal policy of a test lab.
CAB accreditation programs in North America are not as transparent as the legal code would indicate. Vee have vays, I vill know... (apologies to my favorite German CAB engineer).

Noted a small group lurking - assessment engineer said they were part of an OSHA audit team. I recognized one member of the audit team from another NRTL down the road. Does the U.S. OSHA use NRTLs to audit each other?
