SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), as an NRTL. SGS's
expansion covers the addition of four test standards to its scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified by 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 of the products.
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. OSHA maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Agency's Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
SGS submitted an application, dated May 28, 2014 (OSHA-2006-0040-
0014, Exhibit 14-3--SGS Request for Expansion), to expand its
recognition to include four \1\ additional test standards. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the application packet and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews
in relation to this application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ In its application, SGS initially requested expansion for 5
standards. However, documentation for the fifth standard, UL 859,
was submitted late and the review of SGS's capabilities for that
standard will be handled separately.

OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing SGS's expansion
application in the Federal Register on

[[Page 75841]]

August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51615). The Agency requested comments by
September 15, 2014, but it received no comments in response to this
notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final notice to grant
expansion of SGS's scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
SGS's application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact 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-2006-0040 contains all materials in the record
concerning SGS's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

OSHA staff examined SGS's expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that SGS
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitation and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant SGS's
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of SGS's recognition to
testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance
to the test standards listed in Table 1 below.

Table 1--List of Appropriate Test Standards for Inclusion in SGS's NRTL
Scope of Recognition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test standard Test standard title
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UL 982............................ Motor-Operated Household Food
Preparing Machines.
UL 1026........................... Electric Household Cooking and Food
Serving Appliances.
UL 1028........................... Hair Clipping and Shaving
Appliances.
UL 1431........................... Personal Hygiene and Health Care
Appliances.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under
the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may
use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI
version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test
standard is currently ANSI-approved.

A. Conditions

In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
SGS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. SGS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on SGS's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of SGS, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
