Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use; Part 2: Particular Requirements for HandHeld Probe Assemblies for Electrical Measurement and Test. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES The designations and titles of the above test standards were current at the time of the preparation of the preliminary notice. OSHA’s recognition of CSA, 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. Conditions CSA 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 CSA’s facilities and records for purposes of ascertaining continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to investigate as OSHA deems necessary; If CSA 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; CSA 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, CSA 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; CSA must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of VerDate Aug<31>2005 10261 18:25 Mar 06, 2007 Jkt 211001 ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major changes in its operations as an NRTL, including details; CSA will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and CSA will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all areas where it has been recognized.
