I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), is
applying for expansion of its current
recognition as a NRTL. MET requests
the addition of two test standards to its
NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a 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
a 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 MET, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/. MET
currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with its headquarters
located at: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914
West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore,
Maryland 21230. A complete list of
MET’s scope of recognition is available
at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
met.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
MET submitted an application, dated
July 27, 2016 (OSHA–2006–0028–0042),
to expand its recognition to include two
additional test standards. OSHA staff
