the NRTL Program (see https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes
organizations that provide productsafety 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. 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 A test standard withdrawn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
appropriate test standard (CPL 01–00–
004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures
and Guidelines Directive (NRTL
Program Directive), Ch. 2.IX.C.1). It is
OSHA’s policy to remove recognition of
withdrawn test standards by issuing a
correction notice in the Federal Register
for all NRTLs recognized for the
withdrawn test standards (Id.).
However, SDOs frequently will
designate a replacement standard for
withdrawn standards. OSHA will
recognize a NRTL for an appropriate
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
62821
replacement test standard if the NRTL
has the requisite testing and evaluation
capability for the replacement test
standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
2.IX.C.2).
One method that NRTLs may use to
show such capability involves an
analysis to determine whether any
testing and evaluation requirements of
existing test standards in a NRTL’s
scope are comparable (i.e., are
completely or substantially identical) to
the requirements in the replacement test
standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
2.IX.C.3). If OSHA’s analysis shows the
replacement test standard does not
require additional or different technical
capability than an existing test
standard(s), and the replacement test
standard is comparable to the existing
test standard(s), then OSHA can add the
replacement test standard to affected
NRTLs’ scope of recognition. If OSHA’s
analysis shows the replacement test
standard requires an additional or
different technical capability, or the
replacement test standard is not
comparable to any existing test
standards, each affected NRTL seeking
to have OSHA add the replacement test
standard to the NRTL’s scope of
recognition must provide information to
OSHA that demonstrates technical
capability (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
2.IX.D).
B. Other Reasons for Removal of Test
Standards From the NRTL List of
Appropriate Test Standards
OSHA may choose to remove a test
standard from the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards based on an
internal review in which NRTL Program
staff review the NRTL list of appropriate
test standards to determine if the test
standards conform to the definition of
an appropriate test standard defined in
NRTL Program regulations and policy.
There are several reasons for removing
a test standard based on this review.
First, a document that provides the
methodology for a single test is a test
method rather than an appropriate test
standard (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test
standard must specify the safety
requirements for a specific type of
product(s) (NRTL Program Directive,
Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). A test method, however,
is a specified technical procedure for
performing a test. As such, a test
method is not an appropriate test
standard. While a NRTL may use a test
method to determine if certain safety
requirements are met, a test method is
not itself a safety requirement for a
specific product category.
Second, a document that focuses
primarily on usage, installation, or
maintenance requirements, and not
E:\FR\FM\13SEN1.SGM
13SEN1
62822
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2023 / Notices
safety requirements (i.e., features, parts,
capabilities, usage limitations, or
installation requirements that would
create a potential hazard in operating
the equipment if not properly used),
would also not be considered an
appropriate test standard (NRTL
Program Directive, Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). In
some cases, however, a document may
also provide safety test specifications in
addition to usage, installation, and
maintenance requirements. In such
cases, the document would be retained
as an appropriate test standard based on
the safety test specifications.
Finally, a document may not be
considered an appropriate test standard
if the document covers products for
which OSHA does not require testing
and certification (NRTL Program
Directive, Ch. 2.VIII.C.2). Similarly, a
document that covers electrical product
components would not be considered an
appropriate test standard. These
documents apply to types of
components that have limitation(s) or
condition(s) on their use, which are not
appropriate for use as end-use products.
These documents also specify that these
types of components are for use only as
part of an end-use product. NRTLs,
however, evaluate such components
only in the context of evaluating
whether end-use products requiring
NRTL approval are safe for use in the
workplace. Accordingly, as a matter of
policy, OSHA considers that documents
covering such components are not
appropriate test standards under the
NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however,
that it is not proposing to delete from
NRTLs’ scope of recognition any test
standards covering end-use products
that contain such components.
In addition, OSHA notes that, to
conform to a test standard covering an
end-use product, a NRTL must still
determine that the components in the
product comply with the components’
specific test standards. In making this
determination, NRTLs may (within the
confines of the requirements of Annex
B, Section 7.4 G and H of the NRTL
Program Policies, Procedures, and
Guidelines, OSHA Instruction CPL 01–
00–004 (Oct. 1, 2019) (the NRTL
Program Directive, available at https://
www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/
enforcement/directives/CPL_01-00004.pdf)) test the components
themselves or accept the testing of a
qualified testing organization that a
given component conforms to the
particular test standard. OSHA reviews
each NRTL’s procedures to determine
which approach the NRTL will use to
address components and reviews the
end-use product testing to verify that
the NRTL appropriately addresses that
product’s components.
II. Summary of Proposed Actions
In a July 12, 2023 Federal Register
notice (88 FR 44406, referred to in this
notice as ‘‘Proposed Modification,’’ and
available at www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID OSHA–2013–0012–0030),
OSHA proposed to delete several test
standards from the NRTL Program’s list
of appropriate test standards;
incorporate two replacement standards
into the NRTL Program’s list of
appropriate test standards; remove
deleted test standards from the scopes of
recognition of several NRTLs; and add
to the scopes of recognition of some of
these NRTLs replacement test standards,
as applicable. The notice requested
public comment on the proposal;
however, no comments were received in
response to the Federal Register notice.
As will be explained below, OSHA is
issuing a final decision on these matters
as proposed, without modification.
III. Final Decision To Remove Test
Standards From the NRTL Program’s
List of Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA announces the
final decision to delete several
withdrawn test standards from the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards. OSHA also announces
the final decision to incorporate into the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards two replacement test
standards. These final actions are
detailed below in Table 1.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
I. Background
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
Many of OSHA’s workplace standards
require that a NRTL test and certify
certain types of equipment as safe for
use in the workplace. NRTLs are
independent laboratories that meet
OSHA’s requirements for performing
safety testing and certification of
products used in the workplace. To
obtain and retain OSHA recognition, the
NRTLs must meet the requirements in
the NRTL Program regulations at 29 CFR
1910.7. More specifically, to be
recognized by OSHA, an organization
must: (1) have the appropriate capability
to test, evaluate, and approve products
to assure their safe use in the workplace;
(2) be completely independent of
employers subject to the tested
equipment requirements, and
manufacturers and vendors of products
for which OSHA requires certification;
(3) have internal programs that ensure
proper control of the testing and
certification process; and (4) have
effective reporting and complaint
handling procedures. Recognition is an
acknowledgement by OSHA that the
NRTL has the capabilities to perform
independent safety testing and
certification of the specific products
covered within the NRTL’s scope of
recognition and is not a delegation or
grant of government authority.
Recognition of a NRTL by OSHA also
allows employers to use products
certified by that NRTL to meet those
OSHA standards that require product
testing and certification.

includes information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
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. 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 appropriate test
standard (CPL 01-00-004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures and
Guidelines Directive (NRTL Program Directive), Ch. 2.IX.C.1). It is
OSHA's policy to remove recognition of withdrawn test standards by
issuing a correction notice in the Federal Register for all NRTLs
recognized for the withdrawn test standards (Id.). However, SDOs
frequently will designate a replacement standard for withdrawn
standards. OSHA will recognize a NRTL for an appropriate replacement
test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and evaluation
capability for the replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive,
Ch. 2.IX.C.2).
One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an
analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements
of existing test standards in a NRTL's scope are comparable (i.e., are
completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the
replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.C.3). If
OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard does not require
additional or different technical capability than an existing test
standard(s), and the replacement test standard is comparable to the
existing test standard(s), then OSHA can add the replacement test
standard to affected NRTLs' scope of recognition. If OSHA's analysis
shows the replacement test standard requires an additional or different
technical capability, or the replacement test standard is not
comparable to any existing test standards, each affected NRTL seeking
to have OSHA add the replacement test standard to the NRTL's scope of
recognition must provide information to OSHA that demonstrates
technical capability (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.D).
B. Other Reasons for Removal of Test Standards From the NRTL List of
Appropriate Test Standards
OSHA may choose to remove a test standard from the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards based on an internal review in which NRTL
Program staff review the NRTL list of appropriate test standards to
determine if the test standards conform to the definition of an
appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. There are several reasons for removing a test standard based on
this review. First, a document that provides the methodology for a
single test is a test method rather than an appropriate test standard
(29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard must specify the safety
requirements for a specific type of product(s) (NRTL Program Directive,
Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). A test method, however, is a specified technical
procedure for performing a test. As such, a test method is not an
appropriate test standard. While a NRTL may use a test method to
determine if certain safety requirements are met, a test method is not
itself a safety requirement for a specific product category.
Second, a document that focuses primarily on usage, installation,
or maintenance requirements, and not
[[Page 62822]]
safety requirements (i.e., features, parts, capabilities, usage
limitations, or installation requirements that would create a potential
hazard in operating the equipment if not properly used), would also not
be considered an appropriate test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
2.VIII.C.1). In some cases, however, a document may also provide safety
test specifications in addition to usage, installation, and maintenance
requirements. In such cases, the document would be retained as an
appropriate test standard based on the safety test specifications.
Finally, a document may not be considered an appropriate test
standard if the document covers products for which OSHA does not
require testing and certification (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
2.VIII.C.2). Similarly, a document that covers electrical product
components would not be considered an appropriate test standard. These
documents apply to types of components that have limitation(s) or
condition(s) on their use, which are not appropriate for use as end-use
products. These documents also specify that these types of components
are for use only as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however,
evaluate such components only in the context of evaluating whether end-
use products requiring NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace.
Accordingly, as a matter of policy, OSHA considers that documents
covering such components are not appropriate test standards under the
NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, that it is not proposing to delete
from NRTLs' scope of recognition any test standards covering end-use
products that contain such components.
In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard
covering an end-use product, a NRTL must still determine that the
components in the product comply with the components' specific test
standards. In making this determination, NRTLs may (within the confines
of the requirements of Annex B, Section 7.4 G and H of the NRTL Program
Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines, OSHA Instruction CPL 01-00-004
(Oct. 1, 2019) (the NRTL Program Directive, available at https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/directives/CPL_01-00-004.pdf)) test the components themselves or accept the testing of a
qualified testing organization that a given component conforms to the
particular test standard. OSHA reviews each NRTL's procedures to
determine which approach the NRTL will use to address components and
reviews the end-use product testing to verify that the NRTL
appropriately addresses that product's components.
II. Summary of Proposed Actions
In a July 12, 2023 Federal Register notice (88 FR 44406, referred
to in this notice as ``Proposed Modification,'' and available at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID OSHA-2013-0012-0030), OSHA proposed
to delete several test standards from the NRTL Program's list of
appropriate test standards; incorporate two replacement standards into
the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards; remove deleted
test standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs; and add
to the scopes of recognition of some of these NRTLs replacement test
standards, as applicable. The notice requested public comment on the
proposal; however, no comments were received in response to the Federal
Register notice. As will be explained below, OSHA is issuing a final
decision on these matters as proposed, without modification.
III. Final Decision To Remove Test Standards From the NRTL Program's
List of Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to delete several
withdrawn test standards from the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate
Test Standards. OSHA also announces the final decision to incorporate
into the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards two
replacement test standards. These final actions are detailed below in
Table 1.

OSHA will place on its informational web pages the modifications to
each NRTL's scope of recognition. These web pages detail the scope of
recognition for each NRTL, including the test standards the NRTL may
use to test and certify products under OSHA's NRTL Program. OSHA also
will add to the list of ``Appropriate Test Standards'' web page those
test standards added to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test
Standards. The agency will add to the ``Standards No Longer
Recognized'' web page those test standards that OSHA no longer
recognizes or permits under the NRTL Program. Access to these web pages
is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
