III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
QPS submitted acceptable
applications for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application files and related material
indicate that QPS can meet the
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR
1910.7 for expanding its recognition to
include the addition of these two test
standards for NRTL testing and
certification listed above. This
preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
QPS’s applications.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether QPS meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition as a 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 by the due date
for comments. OSHA will limit any
extension to 10 days unless the
requester justifies a longer time 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,
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, listed in ‘‘ADDRESSES.’’ These
materials also are available online at
https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA–2010–0046.
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner and, after addressing the issues
raised by these comments, make a
recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary for Occupational Safety and
Health on whether to grant QPS’s
applications for expansion of its scope
of recognition. The Assistant Secretary
will make the final decision on granting
the applications. 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
this final decision in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that CSA is
applying for expansion of current
recognition as a NRTL. CSA requests the
addition of one test standard to 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 the scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by the 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 an application
by a NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A, 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. In the second notice, the agency
provides 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 CSA, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSA currently has six facilities (sites)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification. Canadian Standards
Association is located at, 178 Rexdale
Boulevard, Etobicoke, Ontario, M9W
1R3, Canada. A complete list of CSA’s
scope of recognition is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csa.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSA submitted an application, dated
May 23, 2017 (OSHA–2006–0042–0012),
to expand recognition to include seven
additional test standards. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation
to this application. OSHA published a
Federal Register notice (82 FR 60051)
announcing this application, but
referenced one incorrect standard in the
listing of appropriate test standards (UL
498A). OSHA further published a
Federal Register notice (83 FR 22289)
granting recognition for the six
additional standards requested in the
application. This notice revises the
previous Federal Register notice for the
one remaining standard (UL 498A). UL
498A is already included in the list of
appropriate test standards and in CSA’s
scope of recognition.
Table 1 lists the appropriate test
standard found in CSA’s application for
expansion for testing and certification of
products under the NRTL Program.

Test standard
UL 489A * ........................
Test standard title
Standard for Circuit Breakers for Use in Communications Equipment.
* Represents the standard that OSHA proposes to add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards.
III. Proposal To Add New Test
Standard 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).
In this notice, OSHA proposes to add
one new test standard to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards. Table 2 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.

STANDARDS

IV. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
CSA submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that CSA can
