Product Safety refers to the measures undertaken by manufacturers and suppliers of various equipment categories, such as Information Technology Equipment, Audio-Video Equipment, measurement and control equipment, laboratory equipment, and medical equipment, to ensure their products comply with industry standards. The primary objective of such testing is to proactively mitigate potential hazards.
At BACL, we hold the esteemed status of being a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) NRTL Program. This recognition extends to local and federal authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), retailers, e-commerce distributors, and consumers, highlighting our reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Furthermore, we are also recognized as a National Certification Body (NB) and Conformity Assessment Body Testing Laboratory (CBTL) under the International Electrotechnical Commission System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment (IECEE CB Scheme). This recognition spans over 50 nations and includes our designation as a CB for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), emphasizing our comprehensive expertise in conforming to international safety standards.
BACL holds the prestigious status of being an OSHA Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL).
In accordance with OSHA’s workplace standards, specific types of equipment used in work environments must undergo testing and certification by an NRTL to ensure their safety for use. NRTLs are independent laboratories that meet OSHA’s stringent requirements for conducting safety testing and certifying workplace products.
By being recognized as an OSHA NRTL, BACL demonstrates its commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety and providing reliable testing and certification services for workplace equipment.
