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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
CSA Group Testing & Certification, Inc.
(CSA) as a NRTL. CSA’s expansion
covers the addition of sixteen test sites
to its 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 applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, as well
as for an expansion or renewal of
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 CSA, which details that
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
CSA submitted an application, dated
December 15, 2020 (OSHA–2006–0042–
0034), requesting the conversion of
sixteen existing Satellite Notification
Acceptance Program (SNAP) sites to
recognized sites under the NRTL Policy
for Transitioning to Satellite
Notification and Acceptance Program
Termination (SNAP Transition Policy)

Memorandum from James S. Frederick,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health, to
Regional Administrators and Executive
Staff, titled ‘‘Second Revision to the
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL) Policy for
Transitioning to Satellite Notification
and Acceptance Program (SNAP)
Termination.’’
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing CSA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
August 15, 2023 (88 FR 55480). The
agency requested comments by August
30, 2023, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA is now
proceeding with this final grant of
expansion of CSA’s NRTL recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the CSA
application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2006–0042
contains all materials in the record
concerning CSA’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 (TTY number (877) 889–5627)
for assistance in locating docket
submissions.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSA’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 CSA meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the specified limitations and condition.
OSHA limits the expansion of CSA’s
recognition to include the sixteen sites
listed in Table 1, below. This limitation
is consistent with the recognition that
OSHA grants to other NRTLs that
operate multiple sites.
