SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), as a
NRTL. SGS’s expansion covers the
addition of one recognized testing and
certification site to their NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title
29, Code of Federal Regulations (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
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.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 the
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.
SGS submitted an application, dated
October 16, 2017 (OSHA–2006–0040–
0052), to expand the recognition to
include the addition of one recognized
testing and certification site located at:
SGS Consumer and Retail France, 135,
Rue Rene Descartes-CS 30584, 13857
Aix en Provence Cedex 3, France. OSHA
staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application and other pertinent
information. OSHA staff also performed
an on-site review of SGS France’s
testing and certification facility on July
23–24, 2018 and recommended
expansion of SGS’s recognition to
include this one site.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing SGS’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
February 26, 2020 (85 FR 11117). The
agency requested comments by March
12, 2020, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of SGS’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the SGS
expansion 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–3653, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2006–0040 contains
all materials in the record concerning
SGS’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined SGS’s
expansion application, conducted a
detailed on-site assessment, and
examined other pertinent information.
Based on review of this evidence, OSHA
finds that SGS meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of
recognition, subject to the specified
limitation and conditions. OSHA,
therefore, is proceeding with this final
notice to grant SGS’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of SGS’s recognition to include the site
E:\FR\FM\21SEN1.SGM
21SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 183 / Monday, September 21, 2020 / Notices
in France as listed above. OSHA’s
recognition of this site limits SGS to
performing product testing and
certifications only to the test standards
for which the site has the proper
capability and programs, and for test
standards in SGS’s scope of recognition.
This limitation is consistent with the
recognition that OSHA grants to other
NRTLs that operate multiple sites.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, SGS
also must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in the
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of the
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. SGS must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
SGS’s scope of recognition, in all areas
for which it has recognition.
OSHA will publish a public notice of
this final decision in the Federal
Register.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
recognition of SGS, subject to these
limitations and conditions specified
above.
III. Authority and Signature
Loren Sweatt, Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health,
authorized the preparation of this
notice. Accordingly, the agency is
issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C.
657(g)(2), Secretary of Labor’s Order No.
1–2012 (77 FR 3912, Jan. 25, 2012), and
29 CFR 1910.7.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), as a NRTL. SGS's
expansion covers the addition of one recognized testing and
certification site to their NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations (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 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.
The agency processes applications by a 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 the 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/.
SGS submitted an application, dated October 16, 2017 (OSHA-2006-
0040-0052), to expand the recognition to include the addition of one
recognized testing and certification site located at: SGS Consumer and
Retail France, 135, Rue Rene Descartes-CS 30584, 13857 Aix en Provence
Cedex 3, France. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application and other pertinent information. OSHA staff also performed
an on-site review of SGS France's testing and certification facility on
July 23-24, 2018 and recommended expansion of SGS's recognition to
include this one site.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing SGS's expansion
application in the Federal Register on February 26, 2020 (85 FR 11117).
The agency requested comments by March 12, 2020, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of SGS's scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
the SGS expansion 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-3653,
Washington, DC 20210. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0040 contains all materials
in the record concerning SGS's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined SGS's expansion application, conducted a
detailed on-site assessment, and examined other pertinent information.
Based on review of this evidence, OSHA finds that SGS meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition, subject to
the specified limitation and conditions. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding
with this final notice to grant SGS's scope of recognition. OSHA limits
the expansion of SGS's recognition to include the site
[[Page 59333]]
in France as listed above. OSHA's recognition of this site limits SGS
to performing product testing and certifications only to the test
standards for which the site has the proper capability and programs,
and for test standards in SGS's scope of recognition. This limitation
is consistent with the recognition that OSHA grants to other NRTLs that
operate multiple sites.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
SGS also must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in the operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of the recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. SGS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on SGS's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
OSHA will publish a public notice of this final decision in the
Federal Register.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
recognition of SGS, subject to these limitations and conditions
specified above.
