taken off the store shelf, by responding
to complaints from product users, and
by ‘‘recalling’’ products that they find
through such testing or complaints to
pose safety concerns).
OSHA has reviewed information and
documents pertaining to SDoC and met
with ITIC and a few interested parties
who provided some input on SDoC and
their view of its advantages and
disadvantages. Documents we have
gathered to date, including the ITIC
proposal, are available at the OSHA
Docket Office. In general, these
documents are available through the
OSHA Web site at https://
dockets.osha.gov.
After reviewing ITIC’s proposal,
OSHA has decided that it needs to learn
more about SDoC and the assurances
behind them. Accordingly, this request
is designed to obtain that information.
III. Questions on Which Comment Is
Requested
OSHA is seeking information, data,
and comment on SDoC generally, and
the ITIC proposal specifically. OSHA is
providing broad questions below to
provide a framework for the public to
respond to this RFI. However, you can
provide comment or information on any
aspect of the broad areas mentioned
below and not just limit your answers
to the specific questions posed. In
responding to these questions, please
explain the reasons supporting your
views, and identify and provide relevant
information on which you rely,
including data, studies, articles, and
other materials. Respondents are
encouraged to address any aspect of the
issue on which they believe they can
contribute. Please briefly identify your
background or qualification on the topic
on which you are responding, where
relevant.
SDoC Process
Note: Questions 1 through 7 pertain to
regulatory or product approval systems that
currently allow SDoCs.
1. What quality controls and
procedures do equipment
manufacturers/suppliers now follow to
effectively perform, document, and
issue SDoCs for their products?
2. What kinds of problems do product
manufacturers and product users now
encounter with their SDoCs and how are
they resolved or addressed?
3. What kinds of products are now
approved or not approved using SDoCs,
and why?
4. Is there any reduction in the ‘‘timeto-market’’ for products? If so, how
much of a reduction is there, how much
is due to improvements in product

safety, and what is the savings in costs
to the manufacturer if SDoC is used
instead of a third-party approval?
5. Do third-party product certifiers
currently use SDoCs in approving
products or play a role in issuing
SDoCs, and if so how?
6. What kinds of testing and testing
capabilities are required for using
SDoCs?
7. Have there been any incidents
involving ‘‘unapproved’’ IT equipment,
or IT equipment approved through
SDoC, creating hazards?
products, and to handle complaints and
product recalls?
14. Are there ways in which OSHA
could incorporate the SDoC into its
current process of NRTL approvals?
SDoC Proposal
8. What has changed with respect to
IT equipment in the 17 years since
OSHA adopted the NRTL Program that
could warrant a reconsideration of the
third-party testing criterion?
9. Should OSHA consider allowing
SDoC in the approval process for IT
equipment, and if so, to what extent? If
allowed, what restrictions, safeguards,
or other requirements would be
necessary to provide employers,
employees, and OSHA with equivalent
assurances of safety to that currently
provided by NRTL testing and
certification? Should OSHA require
manufacturers performing SDoCs to
meet all the requirements of an NRTL
except independence? How,
specifically, should OSHA evaluate the
effects on worker safety of SDoCs versus
NRTL approvals?
10. If OSHA were to adopt SDoC,
should OSHA limit its use to computers,
computer peripherals, and
telecommunications equipment only, as
suggested by ITIC, or to all IT
equipment, as defined by the relevant
U.S. test standard, or restrict its use to
low voltage (for example, 50 volts or
less) IT equipment or components? In
the alternative, should OSHA allow its
use for other types of equipment? If so,
what criteria, requirements, or data
should OSHA use to determine the
types of products or components
eligible for SDoCs? What types of
equipment would not be suitable for
SDoC?
11. What advantages or benefit would
workers, employers, or OSHA derive if
OSHA were to allow SDoC? What
disadvantages or detriments would
result? What other groups or parties
would consider it beneficial or
damaging, and how?
12. If allowed, should OSHA limit the
use of SDoCs to particular kinds of
manufacturers and, if so, what would be
the selection criteria?
13. If OSHA were to adopt some form
of SDoC, what kind of mechanisms
would be necessary to ensure effective
monitoring of manufacturers and
