Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2019 / Notices
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 a preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides the 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 the scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the Agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
TUVAM submitted an application,
dated June 12, 2017 (OSHA–2007–
0043–0023), to expand the recognition
to include two additional test standards.
OSHA staff performed a comparability
analysis and reviewed other pertinent
information. OSHA did not perform any
on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
July 24, 2018 (83 FR 35022). The
Agency requested comments by August
8, 2018, and received one comment
(OSHA–2007–0043–0025) in support of
the application. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of TUVAM’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
TUVAM’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–2007–0043 contains
all materials in the record concerning
TUVAM’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s
expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM
meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of recognition,
subject to the limitation and conditions
outlined in this notice. OSHA, therefore,
is proceeding with this final notice to
grant TUVAM’s scope of recognition.
OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’s
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
in Table 1.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) is
applying for expansion of its current
recognition as a NRTL. SGS requests the
addition of sixty-three 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 SGS, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
SGS currently has nine facilities
(sites) recognized by OSHA for product
testing and certification, with the
headquarters located at: SGS North
America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road,
Suwanee, Georgia 30024. A complete
list of SGS’s scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/sgs.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
SGS submitted eleven applications to
OSHA to expand its recognition as an
NRTL to include sixty-three additional
test standards. These applications were
consolidated into a single application
and submitted to OSHA on October 4,
2018 (OSHA–2006–0040–0036). 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 this application.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate
test standards found in SGS’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

III. Proposal To Add New Test
Standards to the NRTL Program’s List
of Appropriate Test Standards
Periodically, OSHA will propose to
add new test standards to the NRTL list
of appropriate test standards following
an evaluation of the test standard
document. To qualify as an appropriate
test standard, the agency evaluates the
document to (1) verify it represents a
product category for which OSHA
requires certification by a NRTL, (2)
verify the document represents an end
product and not a component, and (3)
verify the document defines safety test
specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications).
OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For
example, OSHA may become aware of
new test standards by: (1) Monitoring
notifications issued by certain
Standards Development Organizations;
(2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or
applicants seeking recognition to
include new test standard in their
scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining
notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations,
government agencies, or other parties.
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
fourteen new test standards to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards. Table 2, below, lists the test
standards that are new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA preliminarily
determined that these test standards are
appropriate test standards and proposes
to include them in the NRTL Program’s
List of Appropriate Test Standards.
OSHA seeks public comment on this
preliminary determination.

III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
SGS submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application files, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that SGS can
meet the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding its
recognition to include the addition of
these sixty-three test standards for
NRTL testing and certification listed
above. This preliminary finding does
not constitute an interim or temporary
approval of SGS’s application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether SGS meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the
recognition as a NRTL. OSHA
additionally welcomes comments on the
proposal to add fourteen additional test
standards to the NRTL Program’s List of

I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes
organizations that provide product
safety testing and certification services
to manufacturers. These organizations
perform testing and certification, for
purposes of the Program, to U.S.
consensus-based product safety test
standards. The products covered by the
NRTL Program consist of those items for
which OSHA safety standards require
‘‘certification’’ by a NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products
and 38 other types of products. OSHA
does not develop or issue these test
standards, but generally relies on
standards development organizations
(SDOs) which develop and maintain the
standards using a method that provides
input and consideration of views of
industry groups, experts, users,
consumers, governmental authorities
and others having broad experience in
the safety field involved.
Removal of Test Standards From the
NRTL List of Appropriate Test
Standards
OSHA may propose to remove a test
standard from the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards based on an
internal review in which NRTL Program
staff review the NRTL list of appropriate
test standards to determine if the test
standard conforms to the definition of
appropriate test standard defined in
NRTL Program regulations and policy.
There are several reasons for removing
a test standard based on this review.
First, a document that provides the
methodology for a single test is a test
method rather than an appropriate test
standard. A test standard must specify
the safety requirements for a specific
type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A
test method, however, is a ‘‘specified
technical procedure for performing a
test’’ (CPL 1–0.3, App. B). As such, a
test method is not an appropriate test
standard. While a NRTL may use a test
method to determine if certain safety
requirements are met, a test method is
not itself a safety requirement for a
specific product category.
Second, a document that focuses
primarily on usage, installation, or
maintenance requirements would also
not be considered an appropriate test
standard (CPL 1–0.3, App. D.IV.B). In
some cases, however, a document may
also provide safety test specifications in
addition to usage, installation, and
maintenance requirements. In such
cases, the document would be retained
as an appropriate test standard based on
the safety test specifications.
Finally, a document may not be
considered an appropriate test standard

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) is applying for expansion of
its current recognition as a NRTL. SGS requests the addition of sixty-
three 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 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 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 SGS, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
SGS currently has nine facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with the headquarters located at:
SGS North America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee, Georgia
30024. A complete list of SGS's scope of recognition is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/sgs.html.
II. General Background on the Application
SGS submitted eleven applications to OSHA to expand its recognition
as an NRTL to include sixty-three additional test standards. These
applications were consolidated into a single application and submitted
to OSHA on October 4, 2018 (OSHA-2006-0040-0036). 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 this application.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standards found in SGS's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

[[Page 2586]]
III. Proposal To Add New Test Standards to the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards
Periodically, OSHA will propose to add new test standards to the
NRTL list of appropriate test standards following an evaluation of the
test standard document. To qualify as an appropriate test standard, the
agency evaluates the document to (1) verify it represents a product
category for which OSHA requires certification by a NRTL, (2) verify
the document represents an end product and not a component, and (3)
verify the document defines safety test specifications (not
installation or operational performance specifications). OSHA becomes
aware of new test standards through various avenues. For example, OSHA
may become aware of new test standards by: (1) Monitoring notifications
issued by certain Standards Development Organizations; (2) reviewing
applications by NRTLs or applicants seeking recognition to include new
test standard in their scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining
notification from manufacturers, manufacturing organizations,
government agencies, or other parties. 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 fourteen new test standards to
the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2, below,
lists the test standards that are new to the NRTL Program. OSHA
preliminarily determined that these test standards are appropriate test
standards and proposes to include them in the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA seeks public comment on this
preliminary determination.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application
SGS submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA's review of the application files, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that SGS can meet the requirements prescribed
by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition
of these sixty-three test standards for NRTL testing and certification
listed above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim
or temporary approval of SGS's application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether SGS meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the recognition as a
NRTL. OSHA additionally welcomes comments on the proposal to add
fourteen additional test standards to the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards. 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, contact the Docket Office, Room N-
3653, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, at the above address. These materials also are available online
at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2006-0040.
OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will make a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health whether to grant SGS's application for
expansion of its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will
make the final decision on granting the application. In making this
decision, the Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings
prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA will publish a public
notice of its final decision in the Federal Register.
