Hi Regan:
While field inspection is not part of OSHA's NRTL program, OSHA rules allow another government (federal, state, local) organization to determine compliance with the NEC. See: https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.399 I would guess that such a government organization (not the manufacturer) would hire a NRTL to do a field inspection.

Just a comment/clarification. The field inspection/label program is not part of OSHA's NRTL program despite some NRTL's that conducted this service. I know it can seem confusing but there are also some non-NRTL's that conduct these field evaluations, all of which are under state jurisdiction. Some may think they are abiding by OSHA rules with obtaining a field evaluation by an NRTL. That is not the case.
