SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.
(TUVRNA), as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s
expansion covers the addition of
fourteen test standards to the NRTL
scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a 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
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 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 the NRTL scope
of recognition. These pages are available
from the agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
TUVRNA submitted two applications,
one dated April 28, 2017 (OSHA–2007–
0042–0034) and another dated August
21, 2017 (OSHA–2007–0042–0035), to
expand recognition to include the
addition of fourteen test standards.
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 these applications.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVRNA’s
expansion applications in the Federal
Register on February 3, 2021 (86 FR

24MRN1
15724
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 24, 2021 / Notices
8041). The agency requested comments
by February 18, 2021, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of TUVRNA’s
scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to
TUVRNA’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,
Washington, DC 20210. Docket No.
OSHA–2007–0042 contains all materials
in the record concerning TUVRNA’s
recognition. Please note: While OSHA’s
Docket Office is continuing to accept
and process submissions by regular
mail, due to the COVD–19 pandemic,
the Docket Office is closed to the public
and not able to receive submissions to
the docket by hand, express mail,
messenger, and courier service.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s
expansion applications, their capability
to meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that TUVRNA
meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of its recognition,
subject to the limitations and conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant TUVRNA’s scope of recognition.
OSHA limits the expansion of
TUVRNA’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standard listed in Table 1 below.

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
standard listed above as an American
National Standard. 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,
TUVRNA must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. TUVRNA 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 a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. TUVRNA must meet all the terms
of its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. TUVRNA must continue to meet
the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published
conditions on TUVRNA’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 TUVRNA, subject to
the limitations and conditions specified
above.
