ºÃÉ«TV proudly announces its Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) status from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This milestone marks a significant extension of ºÃÉ«TV's safety capabilities and enables the issuance of the proprietary ºÃÉ«TV trademark for the first time in history.
With this new status, ºÃÉ«TV is better positioned to expand its reach across the strategic growth areas of connected technologies, life sciences and medical devices.
