SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that TUV
Rheinland of North America, Inc.
(TUVRNA) is applying for an expansion
of current recognition as a NRTL.
TUVRNA requests the addition of
eleven test standards to the 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 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 the
preliminary finding. 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,
including TUVRNA, which details the
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
TUVRNA currently has eight facilities
(sites) recognized by OSHA for product
testing and certification, with the
headquarters located at: TUV Rheinland
of North America, Inc., 12 Commerce
Road, Newtown, Connecticut 06470. A
complete list of TUVRNA sites
recognized by OSHA is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
tuv.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
TUVRNA submitted an application,
dated February 6, 2019 (OSHA–2007–
0042–0050), to expand their recognition
to include the addition of nine test
standards. TUVRNA submitted a second
application, dated September 27, 2019
(OSHA–2007–0042–0051), to expand
their recognition to include the addition
of five test standards. The first
application was amended on May 3,
2021, to remove three standards from
the original expansion request for nine
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.
Table 1 lists the appropriate test
standards found in TUVRNA’s
applications for expansion of the scope
of recognition under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Finding on the
Applications
TUVRNA submitted acceptable
applications for expansion of the scope
of recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application files indicates that TUVRNA
can meet the requirements prescribed by
29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding
recognition to include the addition of
these eleven test standards for NRTL
testing and certification. This
preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
TUVRNA’s applications.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether TUVRNA meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of 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. These materials also are available
online at https://www.regulations.gov
under Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042.
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner. After addressing the issues
raised by these comments, staff will
make a recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary of Labor for Occupational
Safety and Health on whether to grant
TUVRNA’s applications for expansion
of the 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
the final decision in the Federal
Register.
