that a new test standard may be
appropriate to add to its list of
appropriate standards. OSHA may
determine to include a new test
standard in the list, for example, if the
test standard is for a particular type of
product that another test standard also
covers or it covers a type of product that
no standard previously covered.
In this notice, OSHA proposes to add
a new test standard to the NRTL
Program’s list of appropriate test
standards. Table 2, below, lists the test
standard that is new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA preliminarily
determined that this test standard is an
appropriate test standard and proposes
to include it in the NRTL Program’s List
of Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA
seeks public comment on this
preliminary determination.

IV. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
TUVRNA submitted acceptable
applications for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application files, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that TUVRNA
can meet the requirements prescribed by
29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
Curtis-Strauss LLC (CSL), is applying for
expansion of its current recognition as
an NRTL. CSL requests the addition of
sixteen (16) test standards to its NRTL
scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 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.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by its applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
75447
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. 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, including CSL, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA Web site at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSL currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with its headquarters
located at: Curtis-Strauss LCC, One
Distribution Center Circle, Suite #1,
Littleton, MA 01460. A complete list of
CSL’s scope of recognition is available
at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csl.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSL submitted four applications, each
dated December 29, 2015 (OSHA–2009–
0026–0065; OSHA–2009–0026–0066;
OSHA–2009–0026–0069; OSHA–2009–
0026–0068), to expand its recognition to
include 16 additional test standards.
OSHA staff performed a detailed
analysis of the application packets and
reviewed other pertinent information.
OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to these applications.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate
test standards found in CSL’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that Curtis-Strauss LLC (CSL), is applying for expansion of its
current recognition as an NRTL. CSL requests the addition of sixteen
(16) test standards to its NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 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. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have
the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition and for an 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. 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,
including CSL, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSL currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
Curtis-Strauss LCC, One Distribution Center Circle, Suite #1,
Littleton, MA 01460. A complete list of CSL's scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csl.html.
II. General Background on the Application
CSL submitted four applications, each dated December 29, 2015
(OSHA-2009-0026-0065; OSHA-2009-0026-0066; OSHA-2009-0026-0069; OSHA-
2009-0026-0068), to expand its recognition to include 16 additional
test standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packets and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform any on-site reviews in relation to these applications.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standards found in CSL's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application
CSL submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that CSL can meet the requirements prescribed
by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition
of these 16 test standards for NRTL testing and certification listed
above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or
temporary approval of CSL's application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether CSL meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 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. Commenters must submit
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if the request
is not adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket,

OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health whether to grant CSL's application for expansion of
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
