NRTL to demonstrate how it eliminates
or minimizes such risks. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of EMT’s
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information to assess its
independence. OSHA preliminarily
determined that EMT has demonstrated
independence through the following:
• EMT is a privately-owned
organization, and OSHA found no
information regarding ownership that
would qualify as a conflict under
OSHA’s independence policy.
• EMT showed that it has none of the
relationships described in OSHA’s
independence policy or any other
relationship that could subject it to
undue influence when testing for
product safety.
• EMT has policies and procedures in
place to identify risks to impartiality
and when risks to impartiality are
found, EMT has policies and procedures
to eliminate or minimize such risks.
D. Credible Reports and Complaint
Handling
Section 1910.7(b)(4) specifies that a
NRTL must maintain effective
procedures for producing credible
findings and reports that are objective
and free of bias. The NRTL must also
have procedures for handling
complaints and disputes under a fair
and reasonable system. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of EMT’s
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information to assess its
ability to produce credible results and
handle complaints. OSHA preliminarily
determined that EMT has demonstrated
these capabilities through the following:
• EMT has detailed procedures
describing the content of test reports,
and other detailed procedures
describing the preparation and approval
of these reports.
• EMT has procedures for recording,
analyzing, and processing complaints
from users, manufacturers, and other
parties in a fair manner.
OSHA’s on-site assessments of EMT’s
facilities confirmed the capabilities
described in its application packet. The
assessors found some nonconformances
with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7.
EMT addressed these issues sufficiently
to meet the applicable NRTL
requirements.
OSHA’s review of the application file
and pertinent documentation, as well as
the results of the on-site assessments,
indicate that EMT can meet the
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR
1910.7 for recognition as a NRTL for its
site located in Irvine, California.
OSHA’s preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary
approval of EMT’s application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA) as a NRTL. ITSNA’s expansion
covers the addition of eighteen 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
E:\FR\FM\25JYN1.SGM
25JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 25, 2023 / Notices
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 ITSNA, which details the
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
ITSNA submitted two applications,
one dated October 31, 2018 (OSHA–
2007–0039–0040), requesting the
addition of twenty-three test standards
to the NRTL scope of recognition and a
second application, dated April 24,
2020 (OSHA–2007–0039–0041),
requesting the addition of seven test
standards to the NRTL scope of
recognition. The first application was
amended on April 5, 2023, to remove
five standards from the original request
(OSHA–2007–0039–0042). The second
application was amended on December
9, 2022, to remove four standards from
the original request (OSHA–2007–0039–
0043). The first application was revised
again on May 10, 2023, to remove three
standards from the original application
(OSHA–2007–0039–0045). This notice
covers the remaining eighteen test
standards across both applications.
OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to these applications.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing ITSNA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 24, 2023 (88 FR 33651). The agency
requested comments by June 8, 2023,
but it received no comments in response
to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
with this final grant of expansion of
ITSNA’s NRTL recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
ITSNA applications, go to https://
47917
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0039
contains all materials in the record
concerning ITSNA’s recognition. 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 ITSNA’s
expansion applications, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that ITSNA 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 ITSNA’s expanded scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of ITSNA’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.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. 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 01–00–004, Chapter 2,
Section VIII), 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
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. ITSNA 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

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of ITSNA as a NRTL,
subject to the limitations and conditions
specified above. OSHA additionally
adds one test standard to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA) as a NRTL.
ITSNA's expansion covers the addition of eighteen 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
[[Page 47917]]
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
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 ITSNA, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
ITSNA submitted two applications, one dated October 31, 2018 (OSHA-
2007-0039-0040), requesting the addition of twenty-three test standards
to the NRTL scope of recognition and a second application, dated April
24, 2020 (OSHA-2007-0039-0041), requesting the addition of seven test
standards to the NRTL scope of recognition. The first application was
amended on April 5, 2023, to remove five standards from the original
request (OSHA-2007-0039-0042). The second application was amended on
December 9, 2022, to remove four standards from the original request
(OSHA-2007-0039-0043). The first application was revised again on May
10, 2023, to remove three standards from the original application
(OSHA-2007-0039-0045). This notice covers the remaining eighteen test
standards across both applications. OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to these applications.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing ITSNA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on May 24, 2023 (88 FR 33651). The
agency requested comments by June 8, 2023, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final
grant of expansion of ITSNA's NRTL recognition.

UL 3730...................... Standard for Photovoltaic Junction Boxes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 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 01-00-004, Chapter
2, Section VIII), 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
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. ITSNA 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. ITSNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. ITSNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on ITSNA'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 ITSNA as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above. OSHA additionally adds one test standard to
the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
