SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Applications for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that CSA
Group Testing & Certification Inc.
(CSA), is applying for expansion of the
current recognition as a NRTL. CSA
requests the addition of ten test
standards, and one new testing site, 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 and for an
expansion or renewal of this
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 a preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides a 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 the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSA currently has twenty-one
facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with
the headquarters located at: CSA Group
Testing & Certification Inc., 178 Rexdale
Boulevard, Etobicoke, Ontario, M9W
1R3, Canada. A complete list of CSA’s
scope of recognition is available at
https://www.osha.gov/nationallyrecognized-testing-laboratory-program/
csa.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSA submitted two applications to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition. The first application,
received on January 18, 2022 (OSHA–
2006–0042–0037), requested the
addition of four standards to the NRTL
scope of recognition. The second
application, received on July 28, 2022
(OSHA–2006–0042–0038), requested the
addition of six standards to the NRTL
scope of recognition, as well as the
recognition of an additional testing site
on the CSA Cleveland Ohio campus.
The additional test facility is located at
8801 East Pleasant Valley Road,
Cleveland, Ohio 44131. This expansion
notice covers the ten standards included
in both applications as well as the
additional recognized site. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packets and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA performed
an on-site review of the additional
Cleveland, Ohio site from May 16–17,
2023, in which assessors found some
nonconformances with the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7. CSA addressed these
issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the applications for test
standard expansion and recognition of
the additional testing site.
Table 1, below, lists the appropriate
test standards found in CSA’s
applications for expansion for testing
and certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is the agency uses the
information collected on the OSHA–7
Form to determine whether or not
reasonable grounds exist to conduct an
inspection of the workplace. The
