Summary

Declares that, until the certification required by this Act is made, no national of a European Community (EC) member country shall be eligible to certify compliance of products produced outside the United States with any standard or requirement of specified provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, or the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act.
