SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) is giving notice
of the denial of renewal of recognition
of Electrical Reliability Services, Inc.
(formerly Electro-Test, Inc.) (ETI) as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL). OSHA is taking this
action following its requirements under
Subsection I.B. of Appendix A to 29
CFR 1910.7.
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), OSHA’s NRTL Program
regulations. 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 in the workplace that are
properly approved by the NRTL to meet
OSHA standards that require testing and
certification.
Subsection I.B describes the
procedures that OSHA must use in
deciding an NRTL’s application for
renewal of recognition. In order to
approve such an application, the NRTL
must meet all of the requirements for
recognition in 29 CFR 1910.7.
Subsection I.B sets out the steps OSHA
must follow in reviewing each renewal
application and provides the NRTL
opportunities to correct or respond to
any perceived failures to meet the
requirements.
OSHA followed the process set forth
in Subsection I.B and is denying
renewal of ETI as an NRTL. OSHA
found that ETI’s ownership by Emerson
Electric Company resulted in ETI’s
failure to satisfy the requirement of 29
CFR 1910.7 that NRTLs be independent
of the manufacturers and vendors of the
products for which OSHA requires
certification. This failure constitutes a
cause for non-renewal under OSHA’s
NRTL Program regulations.
OSHA has notified ETI of its final
decision to deny its application for
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
renewal. The effective date of nonrenewal is shown in the DATES section
above. As of this date, the Agency no
longer accepts product certifications
done by ETI.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0038
contains all public materials in the
record concerning the recognition of
ETI. You may obtain or review copies of
these documents by contacting the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department

Signed at Washington, DC, this 13th day of
June, 2008.

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational
Safety and Health.
