SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of Final Decision
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) hereby gives
notice of the expansion of recognition of
the Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) as a Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL). CSA’s
expansion covers the use of additional
test standards. OSHA’s current scope of
recognition for CSA may be found in the
following informational Web page:
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csa.html.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements 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 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.
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. We
maintain an informational Web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages can be
accessed from our Web site at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
CSA submitted an application, dated
July 5, 2005, (see Exhibit 34–1) to
expand its recognition to include 12
additional test standards. The NRTL
Program staff determined that nine of
these standards are ‘‘appropriate test
standards’’ within the meaning of 29
CFR 1910.7(c). However, one of these
standards was already included in
CSA’s scope. Therefore, OSHA is
approving eight test standards for the
expansion. In connection with this
request, OSHA did not perform an onsite review of CSA’s NRTL testing
facilities. However, NRTL Program
assessment staff reviewed information
pertinent to the request and
recommended expansion for the eight
additional test standards (see Exhibit
34–2).
The preliminary notice announcing
the expansion application was
published in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2006 (71 FR 59129).
Comments were requested by October
23, 2006, but no comments were
received in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant CSA’s expansion
application.
The most recent application
processed by OSHA specifically related
to CSA’s recognition granted an
expansion, and the final notice for this
expansion was published on August 26,
2003 (68 FR 51303).
You may obtain or review copies of
all public documents pertaining to the
CSA application by contacting 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–2006–0042
(formerly NRTL2–92) contains all
materials in the record concerning
CSA’s recognition.
The current addresses of the CSA
facilities already recognized by OSHA
are:
Canadian Standards Association, 178
Rexdale Boulevard (Toronto), Etobicoke,
ON M9W 1R3, Canada;
CSA International, Pointe-Claire
(Montreal), 865 Ellingham Street,

and
CSA International, Cleveland, 8501
East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland,
OH 44131.
Final Decision and Order
NRTL Program staff has examined the
application, the assessor’s
recommendation, and other pertinent
information. Based upon this
examination and the assessor’s
recommendation, OSHA finds that CSA
has met the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of its recognition,
subject to the limitation and conditions
listed below. Pursuant to the authority
in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby
expands the recognition of CSA, subject
to this limitation and these conditions.
Limitation
OSHA limits the expansion of CSA’s
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the following test
standards, each of which OSHA has
determined is an appropriate test
standard, within the meaning of 29 CFR
1910.7(c):
Nonmetallic Cable Tray Systems.

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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of Final Decision
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby
gives notice of the expansion of recognition of the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
CSA's expansion covers the use of additional test standards. OSHA's
current scope of recognition for CSA may be found in the following
informational Web page: https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csa.html.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements 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 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.
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. We maintain an informational Web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages can be
accessed from our Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/

However, one of these standards was already included in CSA's scope.
Therefore, OSHA is approving eight test standards for the expansion. In
connection with this request, OSHA did not perform an on-site review of
CSA's NRTL testing facilities. However, NRTL Program assessment staff
reviewed information pertinent to the request and recommended expansion
for the eight additional test standards (see Exhibit 34-2).
