SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition
for TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM) as
a NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the
addition of nine test sites 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 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 TUVAM, which details that
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
TUVAM submitted an application,
dated January 24, 2021 (OSHA–2007–
0043–0045), requesting the conversion
of ten 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)
published in the Federal Register on
November 24, 2020 (85 FR 75042), as
amended by a June 22, 2022
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.’’ TUVAM amended their
application on December 10, 2021
(OSHA–2007–0043–0046), to remove
one site from the original request,
leaving nine sites to be considered in
the expansion request.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
August 15, 2023 (88 FR 55478). 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 TUVAM’s NRTL
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
TUVAM 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–2007–0043
contains all materials in the record
concerning TUVAM’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 TUVAM’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 TUVAM
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 TUVAM’s recognition to include the
nine sites listed in Table 1, below. This
limitation is consistent with the
recognition that OSHA grants to other
NRTLs that operate multiple sites.
