that has/have the technical capability to
perform the product-testing and
product-certification activities for test
standards within the NRTL’s scope of
recognition. The third element an
NRTL’s scope of recognition identifies is
the supplemental program(s) that the
NRTL may use. These supplemental
programs allow the NRTL to rely on
other parties to perform activities
necessary for product testing and
certification.
SGS currently has one site that OSHA
recognizes, its headquarters, located at:
SGS North America, Inc., 291 Fairfield
Avenue, Fairfield, New Jersey 07004.
SGS requests OSHA to change the
location of their headquarters from the
above-mentioned address. SGS’s
headquarters will now be located at:
SGS North America, Inc., 620 Old
Peachtree Road, Suwanee, Georgia
30024. A complete list of SGS sites
recognized by OSHA is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
sgs.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
SGS submitted an application, dated
April 19, 2012 (Exhibit 1: SGS
Application), requesting several changes
to its NRTL scope of recognition. SGS
requests to expand its recognition to
include one additional test site located
at 620 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee,
Georgia 30024. Additionally, this
application requests the change of the
address for SGS’s headquarters from 291
Fairfield Avenue, Fairfield, New Jersey
07004 to 620 Old Peachtree Road,
Suwanee, Georgia 30024. As a
consequence of this move, SGS requests
the removal of one test site, located at
291 Fairfield Avenue, Fairfield, New
Jersey 07004, from its NRTL scope of
recognition. SGS also informs OSHA of
the change of its name from SGS U.S.
Testing Company, Inc., to SGS North
America, Inc.
SGS also requests a modification of its
scope of recognition under the NRTL
Program. This request reduces the
number of test standards in SGS’s
current NRTL scope of recognition by 13
test standards. Subsection II.D of
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7 provides
that OSHA must inform the public of
such a reduction in scope. Accordingly,
effective the date of this notice, OSHA
is modifying SGS’s scope of recognition
to eliminate the 13 test standards listed
below:
1. ANSI/UL 1—Flexible Metal Conduit
2. UL 62—Flexible Cords and Cables
3. UL 355—Cord Reels
4. UL 498—Attachment Plugs and
Receptacles
5. UL 498A—Current Taps and Adapters
VerDate Mar<15>2010

10. UL 1363—Relocatable Power Taps
11. ANSI/UL 1484—Residential Gas
Detectors
12. UL 1492—Audio-Video Products
and Accessories
13. UL 1581—Electrical Wires, Cables,
and Flexible Cords
In connection with these requests,
NRTL Program staff performed an onsite review of SGS’s Suwanee, Georgia,
testing facilities on November 13, 2012.
OSHA staff found some nonconformances within the laboratory
during the audit. Following the
correction of these non-conformances,
OSHA staff recommends expansion of
SGS’s recognition to include the
addition of the Suwanee, Georgia, site.
As a result, OSHA preliminarily
determined that it should expand SGS’s
scope of recognition to include one
additional test site.
III. Preliminary Finding on the
Application
SGS submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its
recognition as an NRTL. OSHA’s review
of the application file, and the results of
the on-site review, indicate that SGS can
meet the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for recognition to use the
facilities listed above. This preliminary
finding does not constitute an interim or
temporary approval of the application.
SGS corrected the discrepancies noted
by OSHA during the on-site review, and
the on-site review report describes these
corrections (Exhibit 2: SGS On-site
Review Report).
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether SGS meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of their
recognition as an NRTL. Comments
should consist of pertinent written
documents and exhibits. Commenters
needing more time to comment must
submit a request in writing, stating the
reasons for the request. OSHA must
receive the written request for an
extension by the due date for comments.
OSHA will limit any extension to 30
days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a
request for an extension if it is not
adequately justified. To obtain or review
copies of the publicly available
information in SGS’s application and
other pertinent documents (including
exhibits), as well as all submitted

will recommend whether to grant SGS’s
application for expansion. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes
organizations that provide productsafety testing and certification services
to manufacturers. These organizations
perform testing and certification, for
purposes of the Program, to U.S.
consensus-based product-safety test
standards. OSHA does not develop or
issue these test standards, but generally
relies on U.S. standards-development
organizations (SDOs) accredited by the
American National Standards Institute
(ANSI). The products covered by the
Program consist of those items for
which OSHA safety standards require
‘‘certification’’ by an NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products
and 38 other types of products.
OSHA recognition of an organization
as an NRTL signifies that the
organization meets the legal
requirements in the NRTL Program
regulations at 29 CFR 1910.7 and the
NRTL Program policies in CPL 1–0.3
NRTL Program Policies, Procedures, and
Guidelines (‘‘Directive’’). Recognition is
an acknowledgement by OSHA that the
NRTL can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific
products covered within the NRTL’s
scope of recognition. Recognition of an
NRTL by OSHA also allows employers
to use products certified by that NRTL
to meet those OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification
(29 CFR 1910.7(a)).
An NRTL’s scope of recognition
consists, in part, of the specific test
standard(s) approved by OSHA for use
by the NRTL. Pursuant to the NRTL
Program regulations, the NRTL must
first request to have a test standard
included in its scope of recognition.
OSHA will grant the NRTL’s request
only if the NRTL has the capability to
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
test and examine equipment 1 and
materials for workplace safety purposes
and to determine conformance with the
test standard for each relevant item of
equipment or material that it lists,
labels, or accepts (29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1)).
Capability includes proper testing
equipment and facilities, trained staff,
written testing procedures, and
calibration and quality-control
programs. An organization’s recognition
as an NRTL is, therefore, not for
products, but for ‘‘appropriate’’ test
standards covering a type of product(s)
(29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1)).
Pursuant to the NRTL Program
regulations, to be ‘‘appropriate,’’ a test
standard must be current, and it must
specify the safety requirements for a
specific type of product(s) (29 CFR
1910.7(c)). OSHA policy provides that a
document specifies safety requirements
for a specific type product(s) if the
document includes ‘‘features, parts,
capabilities, usage limitations, or
installation requirements which if they
did not exist would create a potential
hazard in using the equipment’’
(Directive, App. D.IV.B). However,
OSHA policy also provides that the
document not ‘‘focus primarily on
usage, installation, or maintenance
requirements’’ (Directive, App. D.IV.B).
Finally, as OSHA requires the testing
and certification of certain products
only (29 CFR 1910.7(a)), an NRTL’s
scope of recognition should not include
test standards that do not specify safety
requirements for products for which
OSHA does not require testing and
certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A).
II. Modifying Test Standards in NRTLs’
Scopes of Recognition
A. Proposed Deletion of Withdrawn Test
Standards From, and Incorporation of
Replacement Test Standards Into, the
Scopes of Recognition of Several NRTLs
In this notice, OSHA proposes to
delete several withdrawn test standards
from the scopes of recognition of several
NRTLs. OSHA also proposes to
incorporate into the scopes of
recognition of several NRTLs test
standards to replace some of the
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards.
The NRTL Program regulations
require that appropriate test standards
be current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test
standard withdrawn by a standards
organization is no longer considered an
appropriate test standard (Directive,
App. C.XIV.B). It is OSHA’s policy to
remove recognition of withdrawn test
standards by issuing a correction notice
1 In this notice, OSHA uses the terms
‘‘equipment’’ and ‘‘product’’ or ‘‘products’’
interchangeably.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
in the Federal Register for all NRTLs
recognized for the withdrawn test
standards. However, OSHA will
recognize an NRTL for an appropriate
replacement test standard if the NRTL
has the requisite testing and evaluation
capability for the replacement test
standard.
One method that NRTLs may use to
show such capability involves an
analysis to determine whether any
testing and evaluation requirements of
existing test standards in an NRTL’s
scope are comparable (i.e., are
completely or substantially identical) to
the requirements in the replacement test
standard. If OSHA’s analysis shows the
replacement test standard does not
require additional or different technical
capability than an existing test
standard(s), the replacement test
standard is comparable to the existing
test standard(s), and OSHA can add the
replacement test standard to affected
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition. In making
this determination, OSHA also
considers the documents or medium
that the NRTL uses to record test and
evaluation data or results, which OSHA
commonly calls ‘‘test datasheets,’’ to be
part of the NRTL’s written testing
procedures.2
If OSHA’s analysis shows the
replacement test standard requires an
additional or different technical
capability, the replacement test standard
is not comparable to any existing test
standards. Furthermore, if a
replacement test standard requires the
NRTL to modify its datasheets
substantively, or to develop new
datasheets, then the test standards are
also not comparable. In such cases (i.e.,
when the test standards are not
comparable), each affected NRTL that
seeks to have OSHA add the
replacement test standard to the NRTL’s
scope of recognition must provide
information to OSHA that demonstrates
technical capability.
B. Proposed Deletion of Inappropriate
Test Standards From the Scopes of
Recognition of Several NRTLs
OSHA proposes to delete several test
standards from the scopes of recognition
of several NRTLs based on a recent
internal review in which NRTL Program
staff determined that several test
standards currently in the NRTLs’
scopes of recognition did not conform to
the definition of appropriate test
standard defined in NRTL Program
2 Such datasheets may be electronic records or
hardcopies, and must ensure that the NRTL will
capture all necessary test and evaluation data or
results completely and accurately. Additionally,
datasheets may be separate or combined in other
documents or records.

regulations and policy. First, one of the
documents at issue, UL 1666, provides
the methodology for one test only, and
is, therefore, a test method rather than
an appropriate test standard (29 CFR
1910.7(c)). As stated above, a test
standard must specify the safety
requirements for a specific type of
product(s). Id. A test method, however,
is a ‘‘specified technical procedure for
performing a test’’ (Directive, App. B).
As such, a test method is not an
appropriate test standard: While an
NRTL may use a test method to
determine if certain safety requirements
are met, a test method is not itself a
safety requirement for a specific
product.
Second, several of the documents
focus primarily on usage, installation, or
maintenance requirements. As stated
above, such documents are not
appropriate test standards (Directive,
App. D.IV.B).
Third, some of the documents are not
appropriate test standards because the
documents cover products for which
OSHA does not require testing and
certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A).
OSHA initially recognized these
documents for use in the NRTL Program
under OSHA standards such as 29 CFR
1910.68. These OSHA standards do not
require testing and certification for the
product(s) covered by the documents
OSHA proposes to delete.
Finally, several of the documents
cover electrical-product components,
such as transformers, resistors, and
capacitors used in television-type
appliances. These documents apply to
types of components that have
limitation(s) or condition(s) on their
use, in that they are not appropriate for
use as end-use products. These
documents also specify that these types
of components are for use only as part
of an end-use product. NRTLs, however,
evaluate such components only in the
context of evaluating whether end-use
products requiring NRTL approval are
safe for use in the workplace. Testing
such components alone would not
indicate that the end-use products
containing the components are safe for
use. Accordingly, as a matter of policy,
OSHA considers that documents
covering such components are not
appropriate test standards under the
NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however,
that it is not proposing to delete from
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition any test
standards covering end-use products
that contain such components.3
3 OSHA notes also that some types of devices
covered by these documents, such as capacitors and
transformers, may be end-use products themselves,
and tested under other test standards applicable to
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

In addition, OSHA notes that, to
conform to a test standard covering an
end-use product, an NRTL must still
determine that the components in the
product comply with these components’
specific test standards, some of which
OSHA is proposing to delete in this
notice. In making this determination,
NRTLs may test the components
themselves, or accept the testing of a
qualified testing organization that a
given component conforms to its
particular test standard. OSHA reviews
each NRTL’s procedures to determine
which approach the NRTL will use to
address components, and reviews the
end-use product testing to verify the
NRTL appropriately addresses that
product’s components.
OSHA added the documents now
subject to deletion to affected NRTLs’
scopes of recognition before OSHA
issued the NRTL Program Directive. The
Directive clarified the meaning of
‘‘appropriate test standard.’’ After
issuing the Directive, OSHA deleted
some documents from NRTLs’ scopes of
recognition because those documents
were not appropriate test standards (see
70 FR 11273, March 8, 2005). After
further review of the entire list of test
standards recognized under the NRTL
Program, OSHA determined that it
should delete additional documents
from NRTLs’ scopes of recognition. In
all cases, these deletions would be
programmatic corrections only, and do
not reflect OSHA’s view of the technical
merits of the documents. In addition,
deleting these documents from the
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition would not
prevent testing organizations (including
NRTLs) from using the deleted
documents for their testing activities.
III. Test Standards OSHA Proposes To
Delete and Incorporate
Table 1 lists the test standards that
OSHA proposes to delete from affected
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition, as well as
an abbreviated rationale for OSHA’s
proposed actions. For a full discussion
of the rationale, see, above, Sections II.A
and II.B of this notice. Table 1 also lists
corresponding replacement test
standards that OSHA proposes to
incorporate into the NRTLs’ scopes of
recognition (when applicable).
In most cases, OSHA already
incorporated the proposed replacement
test standards into affected NRTLs’
scopes of recognition. OSHA proposes
such products. For example, the following test
standard covers transformers that are end-use
products: UL 1562 Standard for Transformers,
Distribution, Dry-Type—Over 600 Volts. OSHA is
not proposing to delete such test standards from
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2013 / Notices
one of the following actions with
respect to the remaining cases:
1. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for
all affected NRTLs, comparable test
standards that SDOs adopted to replace
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards;
or
2. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for
all affected NRTLs, appropriate test
standards that OSHA concludes are
comparable to the withdrawn (and
deleted) test standards.
OSHA notes that it is not proposing
to delete UL 664 from the scopes of
recognition of affected NRTLs, even
though Underwriters Laboratories
withdrew UL 664. OSHA currently is
examining whether it can incorporate
any test standard(s) into the scopes of
recognition of affected NRTLs to replace
UL 664. Once OSHA completes this
examination, it will issue a new Federal
Register notice addressing the deletion
of UL 664 from the scopes of recognition
of affected NRTLs.
OSHA also notes that it is not
proposing to delete UL 1004 from the
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs
even though Underwriters Laboratories
withdrew UL 1004, and issued UL
1004–1 as a replacement. Unlike other
replacements shown in this notice,
OSHA believes that UL 1004–1 is not
comparable to UL 1004. OSHA currently
is working on a separate Federal
Register notice that will propose how
OSHA plans to incorporate such test
standard(s), and a number of other test
standards, into the scopes of recognition
of affected NRTLs. OSHA plans to
publish this notice in the near future.
OSHA notes also that Table 1 lists the
subject test standards and the proposed
action with regard to each of these test
standards without indicating how the
proposed action will affect individual
NRTLs. Section IV of this notice
discusses how the proposed action will
affect individual NRTLs.

Application Guide.
Note 1: OSHA believes the proposed
replacement test standard is comparable to
the withdrawn test standard. Therefore,
OSHA proposes to incorporate the
replacement test standard into affected
NRTLs’ scopes of recognition without
requiring affected NRTLs to further
demonstrate capability, as specified by 29
CFR 1910.7(b)(1). OSHA notes that such
proposed action is not necessary for those
NRTLs with scopes of recognition that
already include the proposed replacement
test standard.
IV. Proposed Modifications to Affected
NRTLs’ Scopes of Recognition
The tables in this section (Table 2
thru Table 13) list, for each affected
NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA
proposes to delete from the scope of
recognition of the NRTL and, when
applicable, the test standard(s) that
OSHA proposes to incorporate into the
scope of recognition of that NRTL to
replace withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards. Notes to the tables make clear
whether individual NRTLs must submit

information to demonstrate their
capability for each proposed
replacement test standard.
OSHA seeks the following input on
whether the actions OSHA proposes in
the tables are appropriate:
1. OSHA seeks comment on whether
its proposed deletions and
incorporations are appropriate, and
whether individual tables omit any
appropriate replacement test standard
that is comparable to a withdrawn test
standard. If OSHA determines that it
omitted any appropriate replacement
test standard that is comparable to a
withdrawn test standard, it will, in its
final determination, incorporate that
replacement test standard into the scope
of recognition of each affected NRTL.
2. In addition, the test standards listed
in the tables include only withdrawn or
otherwise inappropriate standards of
which OSHA became aware on or before
May 1, 2013. OSHA seeks input on
whether individual NRTLs’ scopes of
recognition contain any additional
withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate
test standards.
OSHA will incorporate into its
informational Web pages the
modifications OSHA decides to make to
each NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
Web pages detail the scope of
recognition for each NRTL, including
the test standards the NRTL may use to
test and certify products under OSHA’s
NRTL Program. OSHA also will add, to
its ‘‘Composite List of Standards
Recognized under the NRTL Program’’
Web page, those test standards it
incorporates into affected NRTLs’
scopes of recognition, and add, to its
‘‘Composite List of Test Standards No
Longer Recognized’’ Web page, those
test standards that OSHA no longer
recognizes or permits under the NRTL
Program. Access to these Web pages is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
OSHA proposes the following
revisions to the scopes of recognition of
individual NRTLs:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These
organizations perform testing and certification, for purposes of the
Program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. OSHA
does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally relies on
U.S. standards-development organizations (SDOs) accredited by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The products covered by
the Program consist of those items for which OSHA safety standards
require ``certification'' by an NRTL. The requirements affect
electrical products and 38 other types of products.
OSHA recognition of an organization as an NRTL signifies that the
organization meets the legal requirements in the NRTL Program
regulations at 29 CFR 1910.7 and the NRTL Program policies in CPL 1-0.3
NRTL Program Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines (``Directive'').
Recognition is an acknowledgement by OSHA that the NRTL can perform
independent safety testing and certification of the specific products
covered within the NRTL's scope of recognition. Recognition of an NRTL
by OSHA also allows employers to use products certified by that NRTL to
meet those OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification (29 CFR 1910.7(a)).
An NRTL's scope of recognition consists, in part, of the specific
test standard(s) approved by OSHA for use by the NRTL. Pursuant to the
NRTL Program regulations, the NRTL must first request to have a test
standard included in its scope of recognition. OSHA will grant the
NRTL's request only if the NRTL has the capability to test and examine
equipment \1\ and materials for workplace safety purposes and to
determine conformance with the test standard for each relevant item of
equipment or material that it lists, labels, or accepts (29 CFR
1910.7(b)(1)). Capability includes proper testing equipment and
facilities, trained staff, written testing procedures, and calibration
and quality-control programs. An organization's recognition as an NRTL
is, therefore, not for products, but for ``appropriate'' test standards
covering a type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In this notice, OSHA uses the terms ``equipment'' and
``product'' or ``products'' interchangeably.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the NRTL Program regulations, to be ``appropriate,'' a
test standard must be current, and it must specify the safety
requirements for a specific type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). OSHA
policy provides that a document specifies safety requirements for a
specific type product(s) if the document includes ``features, parts,
capabilities, usage limitations, or installation requirements which if
they did not exist would create a potential hazard in using the
equipment'' (Directive, App. D.IV.B). However, OSHA policy also
provides that the document not ``focus primarily on usage,
installation, or maintenance requirements'' (Directive, App. D.IV.B).
Finally, as OSHA requires the testing and certification of certain
products only (29 CFR 1910.7(a)), an NRTL's scope of recognition should
not include test standards that do not specify safety requirements for
products for which OSHA does not require testing and certification
(Directive, App. D.IV.A).
II. Modifying Test Standards in NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
A. Proposed Deletion of Withdrawn Test Standards From, and
Incorporation of Replacement Test Standards Into, the Scopes of
Recognition of Several NRTLs
In this notice, OSHA proposes to delete several withdrawn test
standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. OSHA also
proposes to incorporate into the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs
test standards to replace some of the withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards.
The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test
standards be current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn by a
standards organization is no longer considered an appropriate test
standard (Directive, App. C.XIV.B). It is OSHA's policy to remove
recognition of withdrawn test standards by issuing a correction notice
[[Page 38391]]
in the Federal Register for all NRTLs recognized for the withdrawn test
standards. However, OSHA will recognize an NRTL for an appropriate
replacement test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and
evaluation capability for the replacement test standard.
One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an
analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements
of existing test standards in an NRTL's scope are comparable (i.e., are
completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the
replacement test standard. If OSHA's analysis shows the replacement
test standard does not require additional or different technical
capability than an existing test standard(s), the replacement test
standard is comparable to the existing test standard(s), and OSHA can
add the replacement test standard to affected NRTLs' scopes of
recognition. In making this determination, OSHA also considers the
documents or medium that the NRTL uses to record test and evaluation
data or results, which OSHA commonly calls ``test datasheets,'' to be
part of the NRTL's written testing procedures.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Such datasheets may be electronic records or hardcopies, and
must ensure that the NRTL will capture all necessary test and
evaluation data or results completely and accurately. Additionally,
datasheets may be separate or combined in other documents or
records.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard requires an
additional or different technical capability, the replacement test
standard is not comparable to any existing test standards. Furthermore,
if a replacement test standard requires the NRTL to modify its
datasheets substantively, or to develop new datasheets, then the test
standards are also not comparable. In such cases (i.e., when the test
standards are not comparable), each affected NRTL that seeks to have
OSHA add the replacement test standard to the NRTL's scope of
recognition must provide information to OSHA that demonstrates
technical capability.
B. Proposed Deletion of Inappropriate Test Standards From the Scopes of
Recognition of Several NRTLs
OSHA proposes to delete several test standards from the scopes of
recognition of several NRTLs based on a recent internal review in which
NRTL Program staff determined that several test standards currently in
the NRTLs' scopes of recognition did not conform to the definition of
appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. First, one of the documents at issue, UL 1666, provides the
methodology for one test only, and is, therefore, a test method rather
than an appropriate test standard (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). As stated above,
a test standard must specify the safety requirements for a specific
type of product(s). Id. A test method, however, is a ``specified
technical procedure for performing a test'' (Directive, App. B). As
such, a test method is not an appropriate test standard: While an NRTL
may use a test method to determine if certain safety requirements are
met, a test method is not itself a safety requirement for a specific
product.
Second, several of the documents focus primarily on usage,
installation, or maintenance requirements. As stated above, such
documents are not appropriate test standards (Directive, App. D.IV.B).
Third, some of the documents are not appropriate test standards
because the documents cover products for which OSHA does not require
testing and certification (Directive, App. D.IV.A). OSHA initially
recognized these documents for use in the NRTL Program under OSHA
standards such as 29 CFR 1910.68. These OSHA standards do not require
testing and certification for the product(s) covered by the documents
OSHA proposes to delete.
Finally, several of the documents cover electrical-product
components, such as transformers, resistors, and capacitors used in
television-type appliances. These documents apply to types of
components that have limitation(s) or condition(s) on their use, in
that they are not appropriate for use as end-use products. These
documents also specify that these types of components are for use only
as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however, evaluate such components
only in the context of evaluating whether end-use products requiring
NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace. Testing such
components alone would not indicate that the end-use products
containing the components are safe for use. Accordingly, as a matter of
policy, OSHA considers that documents covering such components are not
appropriate test standards under the NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however,
that it is not proposing to delete from NRTLs' scopes of recognition
any test standards covering end-use products that contain such
components.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ OSHA notes also that some types of devices covered by these
documents, such as capacitors and transformers, may be end-use
products themselves, and tested under other test standards
applicable to such products. For example, the following test
standard covers transformers that are end-use products: UL 1562
Standard for Transformers, Distribution, Dry-Type--Over 600 Volts.
OSHA is not proposing to delete such test standards from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard
covering an end-use product, an NRTL must still determine that the
components in the product comply with these components' specific test
standards, some of which OSHA is proposing to delete in this notice. In
making this determination, NRTLs may test the components themselves, or
accept the testing of a qualified testing organization that a given
component conforms to its particular test standard. OSHA reviews each
NRTL's procedures to determine which approach the NRTL will use to
address components, and reviews the end-use product testing to verify
the NRTL appropriately addresses that product's components.
OSHA added the documents now subject to deletion to affected NRTLs'
scopes of recognition before OSHA issued the NRTL Program Directive.
The Directive clarified the meaning of ``appropriate test standard.''
After issuing the Directive, OSHA deleted some documents from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition because those documents were not appropriate test
standards (see 70 FR 11273, March 8, 2005). After further review of the
entire list of test standards recognized under the NRTL Program, OSHA
determined that it should delete additional documents from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition. In all cases, these deletions would be
programmatic corrections only, and do not reflect OSHA's view of the
technical merits of the documents. In addition, deleting these
documents from the NRTLs' scopes of recognition would not prevent
testing organizations (including NRTLs) from using the deleted
documents for their testing activities.
III. Test Standards OSHA Proposes To Delete and Incorporate
Table 1 lists the test standards that OSHA proposes to delete from
affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition, as well as an abbreviated
rationale for OSHA's proposed actions. For a full discussion of the
rationale, see, above, Sections II.A and II.B of this notice. Table 1
also lists corresponding replacement test standards that OSHA proposes
to incorporate into the NRTLs' scopes of recognition (when applicable).
In most cases, OSHA already incorporated the proposed replacement
test standards into affected NRTLs' scopes of recognition. OSHA
proposes
[[Page 38392]]
one of the following actions with respect to the remaining cases:
1. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs, comparable
test standards that SDOs adopted to replace withdrawn (and deleted)
test standards; or
2. OSHA proposes to incorporate, for all affected NRTLs,
appropriate test standards that OSHA concludes are comparable to the
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards.
OSHA notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 664 from the
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs, even though Underwriters
Laboratories withdrew UL 664. OSHA currently is examining whether it
can incorporate any test standard(s) into the scopes of recognition of
affected NRTLs to replace UL 664. Once OSHA completes this examination,
it will issue a new Federal Register notice addressing the deletion of
UL 664 from the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs.
OSHA also notes that it is not proposing to delete UL 1004 from the
scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs even though Underwriters
Laboratories withdrew UL 1004, and issued UL 1004-1 as a replacement.
Unlike other replacements shown in this notice, OSHA believes that UL
1004-1 is not comparable to UL 1004. OSHA currently is working on a
separate Federal Register notice that will propose how OSHA plans to
incorporate such test standard(s), and a number of other test
standards, into the scopes of recognition of affected NRTLs. OSHA plans
to publish this notice in the near future.
OSHA notes also that Table 1 lists the subject test standards and
the proposed action with regard to each of these test standards without
indicating how the proposed action will affect individual NRTLs.
Section IV of this notice discusses how the proposed action will affect
individual NRTLs.

Note 1: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes
to incorporate the replacement test standard into affected NRTLs'
scopes of recognition without requiring affected NRTLs to further
demonstrate capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1). OSHA
notes that such proposed action is not necessary for those NRTLs
with scopes of recognition that already include the proposed
replacement test standard.
IV. Proposed Modifications to Affected NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition
The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table 13) list, for each
affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA proposes to delete from
the scope of recognition of the NRTL and, when applicable, the test
standard(s) that OSHA proposes to incorporate into the scope of
recognition of that NRTL to replace withdrawn (and deleted) test
standards. Notes to the tables make clear whether individual NRTLs must
submit information to demonstrate their capability for each proposed
replacement test standard.
OSHA seeks the following input on whether the actions OSHA proposes
in the tables are appropriate:
1. OSHA seeks comment on whether its proposed deletions and
incorporations are appropriate, and whether individual tables omit any
appropriate replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn
test standard. If OSHA determines that it omitted any appropriate
replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn test
standard, it will, in its final determination, incorporate that
replacement test standard into the scope of recognition of each
affected NRTL.
2. In addition, the test standards listed in the tables include
only withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate standards of which OSHA
became aware on or before May 1, 2013. OSHA seeks input on whether
individual NRTLs' scopes of recognition contain any additional
withdrawn or otherwise inappropriate test standards.
OSHA will incorporate into its informational Web pages the
modifications OSHA decides to make to each NRTL's scope of recognition.
These Web pages detail the scope of recognition for each NRTL,
including the test standards the NRTL may use to test and certify
products under OSHA's NRTL Program. OSHA also will add, to its
``Composite List of Standards Recognized under the NRTL Program'' Web
page, those test standards it incorporates into affected NRTLs' scopes
of recognition, and add, to its ``Composite List of Test Standards No
Longer Recognized'' Web page, those test standards that OSHA no longer
recognizes or permits under the NRTL Program. Access to these Web pages
is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
OSHA proposes the following revisions to the scopes of recognition
of individual NRTLs:

Note 2: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Moreover, OSHA already
includes the proposed replacement test standard in the NRTL's scope
of recognition. Therefore, no further demonstration of capability is
necessary at this time.
Note 3: OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes
to incorporate the replacement test standard into the NRTLs' scopes
of recognition without requiring the NRTL to further demonstrate
capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1).
