Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices The designations and titles of all of the above test standards were current at the time of the preparation of the preliminary notice. OSHA’s recognition of SWRI, or any NRTL, for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials (i.e., products) for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before use in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any product(s) for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an NRTL’s scope of recognition does not include that product(s). Many UL test standards are approved as American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for convenience, we use the designation of the standards developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under our procedures, any NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved test standard may use either the latest proprietary version of the test standard or the latest ANSI version of that standard. You may contact ANSI to find out whether or not a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 2. Supplemental Programs The renewal is also limited to continued use by SWRI of the following supplemental programs, all of which are currently in its scope: Program 2: Acceptance of testing data from independent organizations, other than NRTLs. Program 3: Acceptance of product evaluations from independent organizations, other than NRTLs. Program 4: Acceptance of witnessed testing data. Program 9: Acceptance of services other than testing or evaluation performed by subcontractors or agents. In developing these programs, OSHA responded to industry requests and allowed certain of their ongoing practices to continue but in a manner controlled by OSHA criteria. In this sense, they are special conditions that the Agency places on an NRTL’s recognition. OSHA does not consider these programs in determining whether an NRTL meets the requirements for recognition under 29 CFR 1910.7. However, these programs help to define the scope of that recognition. Conditions SWRI must also abide by the following conditions of the recognition, in addition to those already required by 29 CFR 1910.7: OSHA must be allowed access to SWRI’s facilities and records for VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:08 Feb 27, 2007 Jkt 211001 purposes of ascertaining continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to investigate as OSHA deems necessary; If SWRI has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is using under this program, it must promptly inform the test standard developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based; SWRI must not engage in or permit others to engage in any misrepresentation of the scope or conditions of its recognition. As part of this condition, SWRI agrees that it will allow no representation that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) without clearly indicating the specific equipment or material to which this recognition is tied, or that its recognition is limited to certain products; SWRI must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major changes in its operations as an NRTL, including details; SWRI will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and SWRI will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all areas where it has been recognized. Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of February, 2007. Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Labor. [FR Doc.
