SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of Changes The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby gives notice of changes to the scope of recognition of the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) listed below. Specifically, some of the test standards that OSHA currently includes in the scope of recognition of these NRTLs are no longer ‘‘appropriate test standards’’ primarily because they have been withdrawn or replaced. As a result, we are deleting them from the scope of recognition of each affected NRTL, as detailed below in this notice. The test standards to be removed for each NRTL are listed below under the heading ‘‘Withdrawn or Replaced Standards.’’ To substitute other test standards for those being removed, our policy permits NRTLs to request or OSHA to provide recognition for comparable test standards, i.e., other appropriate test standards covering comparable product testing. If applicable, we list such test PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11273 standards below for each NRTL under the heading ‘‘Comparable Replacement Standards.’’ As indicated below, many test standards being deleted have no comparable replacement. However, if any NRTL or other party believes a comparable replacement standard does in fact exist, it may contact OSHA to bring this matter to our attention. If we concur, OSHA will add the standard to the scope of recognition of the affected NRTLs. The modifications in this notice will be reflected in the listing of test standards shown in our informational Web page for each NRTL, which detail OSHA’s official scope of recognition for the NRTL. These Web pages can be accessed at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/index.httml. Brief Background on OSHA’s NRTL Requirements For those who may be unfamiliar with OSHA requirements concerning NRTLs, we provide the following information. OSHA recognition of any NRTL signifies that the organization has met the legalrequirements in section 1910.7 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safeaty 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 certified’’ by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require testsing and certification. In testing and certifying (i.e., approving) such products, NRTLs must demonstrate that the products conform to ‘‘appropriate test standards.’’ This term is defined under 29 CFR 1910.7(c) and essentially means consensus-based product safety test standards developed and maintained current by U.S.-based standards developing organizations (SDOs). Such test standards are not OSHA standards, which are general requirements that employers must meet, but, individually, specify technical safety requirements that a particular type of product must meet. OSHA recognizes each NRTL for a particular scope of recognition, which includes a list of those product safety test standards that the NRTL may use in approving products. As a normal part of its operations, an SDO occasionally withdraws existing test standards or adopts replacement test standards. In such cases, OSHA can no longer consider the withdrawn or replaced standards as ‘‘appropriate,’’ and as a result, the Agency can no longer recognize NRTLs for these standards.

Modify Scope of Recognition of NRTLs

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice modifies the scope of recognition of certain 
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) primarily as a 
result of the withdrawal of certain test standards by the standards 
developing organizations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bernard Pasquet, Office of Technical 
Programs and Coordination Activities, NRTL Program, Occupational Safety 
and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Room N3653, Washington, DC 20210, or phone (202) 693-2110.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Changes

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby 
gives notice of changes to the scope of recognition of the Nationally 
Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) listed below. Specifically, 
some of the test standards that OSHA currently includes in the scope of 
recognition of these NRTLs are no longer ``appropriate test standards'' 
primarily because they have been withdrawn or replaced. As a result, we 
are deleting them from the scope of recognition of each affected NRTL, 
as detailed below in this notice. The test standards to be removed for 
each NRTL are listed below under the heading ``Withdrawn or Replaced 
Standards.''
    To substitute other test standards for those being removed, our 
policy permits NRTLs to request or OSHA to provide recognition for 
comparable test standards, i.e., other appropriate test standards 
covering comparable product testing. If applicable, we list such test 
standards below for each NRTL under the heading ``Comparable 
Replacement Standards.'' As indicated below, many test standards being 
deleted have no comparable replacement. However, if any NRTL or other 
party believes a comparable replacement standard does in fact exist, it 
may contact OSHA to bring this matter to our attention. If we concur, 
OSHA will add the standard to the scope of recognition of the affected 
NRTLs.
    The modifications in this notice will be reflected in the listing 
of test standards shown in our informational Web page for each NRTL, 
which detail OSHA's official scope of recognition for the NRTL. These 
Web pages can be accessed at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.httml.

Brief Background on OSHA's NRTL Requirements

    For those who may be unfamiliar with OSHA requirements concerning 
NRTLs, we provide the following information.
    OSHA recognition of any NRTL signifies that the organization has 
met the legalrequirements in section 1910.7 of title 29, Code of 
Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment 
that the organization can perform independent safeaty 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 
certified'' by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require testsing 
and certification.
    In testing and certifying (i.e., approving) such products, NRTLs 
must demonstrate that the products conform to ``appropriate test 
standards.'' This term is defined under 29 CFR 1910.7(c) and 
essentially means consensus-based product safety test standards 
developed and maintained current by U.S.-based standards developing 
organizations (SDOs). Such test standards are not OSHA standards, which 
are general requirements that employers must meet, but, individually, 
specify technical safety requirements that a particular type of product 
must meet.
    OSHA recognizes each NRTL for a particular scope of recognition, 
which includes a list of those product safety test standards that the 
NRTL may use in approving products. As a normal part of its operations, 
an SDO occasionally withdraws existing test standards or adopts 
replacement test standards. In such cases, OSHA can no longer consider 
the withdrawn or replaced standards as ``appropriate,'' and as a 
result, the Agency can no longer recognize NRTLs for these standards.

    **This standard is no longer applicable because there is no NRTL
