the private industry and federal
agencies who have implemented
effective safety and health management
systems and maintain injury and illness
rates below national Bureau of Labor
Statistics averages for their respective
industries. In VPP, management, labor,
and OSHA work cooperatively and
proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries,
and illnesses through a system focused
on: Hazard prevention and control;
worksite analysis; training; and
management commitment and worker
involvement. OSHA Challenge provides
interested employers and workers the

dol.gov. OSHA’s web page includes
information about the NRTL Program
(see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/
nrtl/).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as a
NRTL. MET’s expansion covers the
addition of four test standards to the
NRTL scope of recognition, including
two test standards that will be added to
the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards.
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 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 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 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.
MET submitted four applications, one
dated November 6, 2017 (OSHA–2006–
0028–0042), two dated April 4, 2018
(OSHA–2006–0028–0043 and OSHA–
2006–0028–0044), and a fourth on
January 14, 2019 (OSHA–2006–0028–
0045) to expand the recognition to
include four additional 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 the applications.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing MET’s expansion
applications in the Federal Register on
January 21, 2021 (86 FR 6368). The
agency requested comments by February
5, 2021, but it received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of MET’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to MET’s
application, go to https://
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–2006–0028 contains
all materials in the record concerning
MET’s recognition. Please note: Due to
the COVID–19 pandemic, the Docket
Office is closed to the public at this time
but can be contacted at (202) 693–2350.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined MET’s
expansion applications, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on the review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that MET meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of the NRTL scope of
recognition, subject to the limitation
and conditions listed below. OSHA,
therefore, is proceeding with this final
notice to grant MET’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of MET’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, the use of the designation
of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation may occur.
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, MET
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in their
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. MET must meet all the terms of the
NRTL recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. MET must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
MET’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 MET Inc., subject to
the limitations and conditions specified
above.

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, the use of the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. 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,
MET must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in their operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. MET must meet all the terms of the NRTL recognition and comply
with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. MET must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on MET'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 MET Inc., subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.
