SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Curtis-Straus LLC (CSL) as an NRTL.
CSL’s expansion covers the addition of
nine test standards to its scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the Agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides its final decision on
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703

the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the Agency’s Web site at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
CSL submitted two applications, one
dated August 29, 2014, and one dated
February 25, 2015 (OSHA–2009–0026–
0057, CSL Exhibit 1—Expansion
Application for Nine Standards and
OSHA–2009–0026–0058, CSL Exhibit
2—Expansion Application for One
Standard). These two applications were
combined. OSHA staff performed a
comparability analysis and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA
performed an on-site review in relation
to these applications on January 27,
2015 to January 28, 2015.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing CSL’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 21, 2015 (80 FR 29342). The
Agency requested comments by June 5,
2015, but it received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of CSL’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
CSL’s application, go to
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2009–0026 contains
all materials in the record concerning
CSL’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSL’s
expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that CSL meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the specified limitation and conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant CSL’s scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of CSL’s
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
in Table 1 below.

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, an NRTL’s
scope of recognition does not include
these products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. However, for
convenience, we may use the
designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under the
NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA
Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized
for a particular test standard may use
either the proprietary version of the test
standard or the ANSI version of that
standard. Contact ANSI to determine
whether a test standard is currently
ANSI-approved.

In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, CSL
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. CSL must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as an NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. CSL must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. CSL must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Curtis-Straus LLC (CSL) as an NRTL. CSL's expansion
covers the addition of nine test standards to its scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified by 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products
properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require
testing and certification of the products.
The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition, or for expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application.
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Agency's Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSL submitted two applications, one dated August 29, 2014, and one
dated February 25, 2015 (OSHA-2009-0026-0057, CSL Exhibit 1--Expansion
Application for Nine Standards and OSHA-2009-0026-0058, CSL Exhibit 2--
Expansion Application for One Standard). These two applications were
combined. OSHA staff performed a comparability analysis and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA performed an on-site review in
relation to these applications on January 27, 2015 to January 28, 2015.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing CSL's expansion
application in the Federal Register on May 21, 2015 (80 FR 29342). The
Agency requested comments by June 5, 2015, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of CSL's scope of recognition.

concerning CSL's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSL's expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the specified limitation and conditions listed

3. CSL must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on CSL's scope of

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of CSL, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
