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 that
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 22, 2022 (OSHA–2007–
0042–0060), to expand recognition to
include the addition of one test standard
to the NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA
staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform any on-site reviews in relation
to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVRNA’s
expansion application in the Federal
Register on November 22, 2022 (87 FR
71361). The agency requested comments
by December 7, 2022, 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 review copies of all public
documents pertaining to TUVRNA’s
application, go to www.regulations.gov
or contact the OSHA Docket Office.
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
2641
this time but can be contacted at (202)
693–2350 (TTY (877) 889–5627).
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s
expansion application, their capability
to meet the requirements of the test
standard, 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 shown below 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.

abiding by the following conditions of
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

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

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 an application, dated
September 3, 2021 (OSHA–2006–0028–
0092), to expand the recognition to

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

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 01–00–004,
Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards
determined to be appropriate test
standards may be approved for NRTL
recognition. 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. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Eurofins Electrical and Electronic Testing NA, Inc. a/k/
a MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as a NRTL. MET's expansion covers the
addition of two 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
[[Page 2642]]
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/.
MET submitted an application, dated September 3, 2021 (OSHA-2006-
0028-0092), to expand the recognition to include two additional test
standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application
packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform
any on-site reviews in relation to the application.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing MET's expansion
application in the Federal Register on November 23, 2022 (87 FR 71684).
The agency requested comments by December 8, 2022, 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 OSHA
Docket Office. 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 (TTY ((877) 889-5627).
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined MET's expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test standard, 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

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 01-00-
004, Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards determined to be
appropriate test standards may be approved for NRTL recognition. 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, subject to the limitations and conditions
specified above.
