SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
as an NRTL. CSA’s expansion covers the
addition of two 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/
index.html.
CSA submitted an application, dated
January 29, 2015 (OSHA–2006–0042–
0003), to expand its recognition to
include two additional test standards.
OSHA staff detailed analysis of the
application and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation
to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing CSA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2015 (80 FR 60408). The
Agency requested comments by October
21, 2015, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of CSA’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to CSA’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.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 234 / Monday, December 7, 2015 / Notices
all materials in the record concerning
CSA’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSA’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 CSA meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the specified limitation and conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
76045
proceeding with this final notice to
grant CSA’s scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of CSA’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 CSA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION
Test standard
Test standard title
UL 1004–1 ......................................
AAMI ES 60601–1: 2005/(R) 2012
Standard for Rotating Electrical Machines—General Requirements.
Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance.
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, CSA
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. CSA 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. CSA must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. CSA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
CSA’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 CSA, subject to the
