Is that an European or African swallow?

Yes, but what is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

Excellent point. And it (not the elderberry smell) was used at a PSES
symposium session as one of the reasons to fire the conformity assessment
body.

There may be a time when the assessor is intractable and will offer only
vague hand waves in lieu of any rationale. But first talk to a technical
authority at the agency to verify that the requirement is capricious.

None of this effects the need for explanation, even if it's, "you're father
smells of elderberries."

There has to be a rationale even for a policy.  Denial of sound engineering
rationale casts a pall on the reputation of an NRTL and would be reason to
move on.

If the product is not intended exclusively for the workplace, OSHA's opinion
is of no account.

During prior employment, I applied similar to the stated OSHA position to a
coffee percolator.  The device would not heat up enough to allow normal
operation (or to even warm water).  The customer was told that the
certification service would not be forthcoming, but I had to explain why.

Whether it's considered a matter of fairness or a response to contracted
services, some explanation is needed.
