SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Nemko North America, Inc. (NNA) as a
NRTL. NNA requests the addition of
eight 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 an application
by a NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A, 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 NNA, which details the
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
46187
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
NNA submitted an application on
October 14, 2020 (OSHA–2013–0016–
0019), to expand the recognition to
include ten additional test standards.
This application was revised on January
18, 2022 to remove two standards from
the original request. This expansion
covers the remaining eight 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 this application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing NNA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
June 7, 2023 (88 FR 37286). The agency
requested comments by June 22, 2023,
but it received no comments in response
to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
with this final grant of expansion to
NNA’s NRTL scope of recognition.
Docket No. OSHA–2013–0016
contains all materials in the record
concerning NNA’s recognition. To
obtain or review copies of all public
documents pertaining to NNA’s
expansion application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov. All submissions,
including copyrighted material, are
available for inspection through the
OSHA Docket Office. Contact the OSHA
Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 for
assistance in locating docket
submissions.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined NNA’s
expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that NNA meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the limitations and conditions listed in
this notice. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant NNA’s expanded scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of NNA’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed 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.
A. Conditions
Recognition is contingent on
continued compliance with 29 CFR
1910.7, including, but not limited to,
abiding by the following conditions of
the recognition:
1. NNA 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. NNA must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. NNA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
NNA’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 NNA as a NRTL,
subject to the limitations and conditions
specified above.

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Nemko North America, Inc. (NNA) as a NRTL. NNA requests
the addition of eight 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 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 an application by a NRTL for initial
recognition and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition,
following requirements in Appendix A, 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

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 NNA, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
NNA submitted an application on October 14, 2020 (OSHA-2013-0016-
0019), to expand the recognition to include ten additional test
standards. This application was revised on January 18, 2022 to remove
two standards from the original request. This expansion covers the
remaining eight standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of

did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing NNA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on June 7, 2023 (88 FR 37286). The
agency requested comments by June 22, 2023, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final
grant of expansion to NNA's NRTL scope of recognition.
Docket No. OSHA-2013-0016 contains all materials in the record
concerning NNA's recognition. To obtain or review copies of all public

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitations and conditions listed in this
notice. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
NNA's expanded scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of NNA's
recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration
of conformance to the test standards listed 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.
A. Conditions
Recognition is contingent on continued compliance with 29 CFR
1910.7, including, but not limited to, abiding by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. NNA 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. NNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. NNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on NNA'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 NNA as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.
