SUMMARY:
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 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
E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM
16AUN1
45754
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Notices
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 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. The expansion applications
would add a total of eleven test
standards to TUVRNA’s NRTL
recognition. 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 June 15, 2021 (86 FR 31713).
The agency requested comments by June
30, 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 applications, go to
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042
contains all materials in the record
concerning TUVRNA’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 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 standards 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes
organizations that provide product-
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45755
safety testing and certification services
to manufacturers. These organizations
perform testing and certification for
purposes of the program, to U.S.
consensus-based product-safety test
standards. The products covered by the
NRTL Program consist of those items for
which OSHA safety standards require
‘‘certification’’ by a NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products
and 36 other types of products. OSHA
does not develop or issue these test
standards, but generally relies on
standards development organizations
(SDOs), which develop and maintain
the standards using a method that
provides for input and consideration of
views of industry groups, experts, users,
consumers, governmental authorities,
and others having broad experience in
the safety field involved.
A. Addition of New Test Standards to
the NRTL List of Appropriate Test
Standards
Periodically, OSHA will 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).
OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For
example, OSHA may become aware of
new test standards by: (1) Monitoring
notifications issued by certain SDOs; (2)
reviewing applications by NRTLs or
applicants seeking recognition to
include a new test standard in their
scope of recognition; and (3) obtaining
notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations,
government agencies, or other parties
that a new test standard may be
appropriate to add to the list of
appropriate standards. OSHA may
determine to include a new test
standard in the list, for example, if the
test standard is for a particular type of
product that another test standard also
covers, addresses a type of product that
no standard previously covered, or is
otherwise new to the NRTL Program.
B. SDO Deletion and Replacement of
Test Standards
The NRTL Program regulations
require that appropriate test standards
be maintained and current (29 CFR
1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn
by an SDO is no longer considered an

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 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
[[Page 45754]]
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 product-certification 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

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
[[Page 45755]]
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.
