Jkt 262001
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
UL LLC, (UL) as a NRTL. UL’s
expansion covers the addition of one
test standard 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
NRTLs or applicant organizations for
initial recognition, as well as for
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 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 UL, which details
that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
UL submitted an application, dated
July 26, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025–0062)
to expand the NRTL scope of
recognition to include one additional
test standard. OSHA staff performed a
detailed analysis of the application
packet and other pertinent information.
OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to this application.

OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing UL’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 28, 2024 (89 FR 46164). The agency
requested comments by June 12, 2024,
but it received no comments in response
to this notice.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the UL
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–2009–0025
contains all materials in the record
concerning UL’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 UL’s expansion
application, its capability to meet the
requirements of the test standard, and
other pertinent information. Based on
its review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that UL 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 UL’s expanded
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the
expansion of UL’s recognition to testing
and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standard listed below in Table 1.

Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2
below lists the standard that is new to
the NRTL Program. OSHA has
determined that this test standard is an
appropriate test standard and will add
it to the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards.

The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standard listed above as an American
National Standard. 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 01–00–004, Chapter 2,
Section VIII), 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, UL
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. UL 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. UL must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. UL must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
UL’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 UL as a NRTL, subject
to the limitations and conditions
specified above. Additionally, OSHA
will add one standard to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards.

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the

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 01-00-004, Chapter
2, Section VIII), 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,
UL must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. UL 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. UL must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. UL must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on UL'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 UL as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above. Additionally, OSHA will add one standard to
the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
