SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) is
applying for an expansion of the current
recognition as a NRTL. SGS requests the
addition of two 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
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 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 SGS, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
SGS currently has nine facilities
(sites) recognized by OSHA for product
testing and certification, with the
headquarters located at: SGS North
America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road,
Suwanee, Georgia 30024. A complete
list of SGS’s scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/

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 ten test standards
and one 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 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.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing CSA’s expansion
applications in the Federal Register on
April 30, 2024 (89 FR 34271). The
agency requested comments by May 15,
2024, but it received no comments in
response to this notice.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
CSA’s applications, 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. Contact
the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693–
2350 (TTY (877) 889–5627) for
assistance in locating docket
submissions.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSA’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 CSA 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 CSA’s expanded scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of CSA’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed below in Table 1.

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 1–0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), 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
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, CSA
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. CSA 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. CSA must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. CSA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
CSA’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 CSA as a NRTL, subject
to the limitations and conditions
specified above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
SUMMARY:
58193
I. Background
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651,
656) established NACOSH to advise,
consult with, and make
recommendations to the Secretary and
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS Secretary) on matters
relating to the administration of the
OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing
advisory committee of indefinite
duration.
NACOSH operates in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. 10), implementing
regulations (41 CFR part 102–3), the
OSH Act, and OSHA’s regulations on
NACOSH (29 CFR part 1912a).
The Committee shall meet at least two
times a year (29 U.S.C. 656(a)(2)).
Committee members serve without
compensation, but OSHA provides
travel and per diem expenses. NACOSH
members serve staggered terms, unless
the member becomes unable to serve,
resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve,
or is removed by the Secretary. The
terms of four NACOSH members expire
on January 16, 2025.
II. NACOSH Membership
NACOSH is comprised of 12 members
appointed by the Secretary of Labor.
Accordingly, the Secretary seeks
committed members to serve a two-year
term. If a vacancy occurs before a term
expires, the Secretary may appoint a
new member who represents the same
interest as the predecessor to serve the
remainder of the unexpired term. The
U.S. Department of Labor (Department)
is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks a broad-based and
diverse NACOSH membership.
Nominations of new members, or
resubmissions of current or former
members, will be accepted in four
categories of membership. Interested
persons may nominate themselves or
submit the name of another person
whom they believe to be interested in
and qualified to serve on NACOSH.
Nominations may also be submitted by
organizations from one of the categories
listed.
OSHA invites nominations for the
following NACOSH membership
positions:
• One (1) public representative;
• One (1) management representative;
• One (1) labor representative; and
• One (1) occupational safety
professional representative.

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 ten test standards and one
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 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 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 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.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing CSA's expansion

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
[[Page 58193]]
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 1-0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), 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
