Is it applicable too or to certain product categories only? OSHA NRTL approval requirements apply to ALL electrical equipment as well as some non electrical equipment https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/prodcatg.html Most local AHJs, and most retailers also want NRTL approval even though legally NRTL approval may not be required.

In US, which body, law and standards are responsible for the similar regulatory? In the USA, we have a number of entities that oversee electrical safety: AHJ, enforcing the local (state, county, or city) electrical code (certification and construction) for all local installations. OSHA (federal), which governs workplace safety by requiring electrical equipment to be NRTL. CPSC (federal), which maintains a list of substantial product hazards which must comply with a safety standard, and which orders recalls of “dangerous” products (after incidents). FDA (federal), which governs medical electrical equipment. There may be others.
