requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
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 it is not
adequately justified. To obtain or review
copies of the exhibits identified in this
notice, as well as comments submitted
to the docket, contact the Docket Office,
Room N–3653, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, at the above address. These

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA), as an NRTL. ITSNA’s
expansion covers the addition of
twenty-eight (28) 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.
ITSNA submitted an application,
received by OSHA on June 3, 2015,
(OSHA–2007–0039–0020) to expand its
recognition to include thirty (30)
additional test standards. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information and determined
that OSHA should grant the application
to expand ITSNA’s recognition to
include 28 of the 30 requested
standards. OSHA did not perform any
on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing ITSNA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
September 14, 2016 (81 FR 63229). The
Agency requested comments by
September 29, 2016, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of ITSNA’s
scope of recognition.

public documents pertaining to ITSNA’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–2007–0039 contains
all materials in the record concerning
ITSNA’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined ITSNA’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 ITSNA meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the conditions listed below. OSHA,
therefore, is proceeding with this final
notice to grant ITSNA’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of ITSNA’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed in Table 1 below.
Additionally, Table 2, below, lists the
test standard new to the NRTL
91205
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards. The Agency evaluated the
standard to (1) verify it represents a
product category for which OSHA
requires certification by an NRTL, (2)
verify the document represents end
products and not components, and (3)
verify the document defines safety test
specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications).
Based on this evaluation, OSHA finds
that it is an appropriate test standard
and will add it to the NRTL Program’s
List of Appropriate Test Standards.

details of the change(s);
2. ITSNA must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. ITSNA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
ITSNA’s scope of recognition, in all
areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR

(202) 693-2110; email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov. OSHA's Web page includes
information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA), as an NRTL.
ITSNA's expansion covers the addition of twenty-eight (28) 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/.
ITSNA submitted an application, received by OSHA on June 3, 2015,
(OSHA-2007-0039-0020) to expand its recognition to include thirty (30)
additional test standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of
the application packet and reviewed other pertinent information and
determined that OSHA should grant the application to expand ITSNA's
recognition to include 28 of the 30 requested standards. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing ITSNA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on September 14, 2016 (81 FR
63229). The Agency requested comments by September 29, 2016, but it
received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding
with this final notice to grant expansion of ITSNA's scope of
recognition.
[[Page 91205]]
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
ITSNA'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-2007-0039 contains all materials in the record
concerning ITSNA's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined ITSNA'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
ITSNA meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the conditions listed below. OSHA, therefore,
is proceeding with this final notice to grant ITSNA's scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of ITSNA's recognition to
testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance
to the test standards listed in Table 1 below.
Additionally, Table 2, below, lists the test standard new to the
NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards. The Agency evaluated
the standard to (1) verify it represents a product category for which
OSHA requires certification by an NRTL, (2) verify the document
represents end products and not components, and (3) verify the document
defines safety test specifications (not installation or operational
performance specifications). Based on this evaluation, OSHA finds that
it is an appropriate test standard and will add it to the NRTL
Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.

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
[[Page 91206]]
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,
ITSNA must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. ITSNA 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. ITSNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. ITSNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on ITSNA'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 ITSNA, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
