• Laboratories are accredited by the U.S.
  Occupational Safety and Health Administration for
  5 years, and then audited by OSHA for continued
  accreditation.
• An NRTL must be qualified both to test products
  and to certify products.
• Certification includes periodic factory audits to
  assure that manufacturers continue to produce
  products in accordance with the factory audit
  manual.
