SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives 

notice of its recognition of QPS 

Evaluation Services Inc., (QPS) as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). The scope of this 

recognition includes testing and 

certification of the equipment and 

materials, and use of the supplemental 

program, listed below. OSHA will detail 

QPS’s scope of recognition on an 

informational Web page for the NRTL, 

as further explained below. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization meets the 

legal 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 its scope of recognition, 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products approved by the NRTL to meet 

OSHA standards that require product 

testing and certification. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition, or for 

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 its preliminary 

finding and, in the second notice, the 

Agency provides its 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 that details its scope of 

recognition. These pages are available 

from OSHA’s Web site at http:// 

www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition has 

three elements: (1) The type of products 

the NRTL may test, with each type 

specified by its applicable test standard; 

(2) the recognized site(s) that has/have 

the technical capability to perform the 

product testing and certification 

activities for test standards within the 

NRTL’s scope; and (3) the supplemental 

program(s) that the NRTL may use, each 

of which allows the NRTL to rely on 

other parties to perform activities 

necessary for product testing and 

certification. 

QPS applied for recognition as an 

NRTL (See Ex. 2—QPS application 

dated 1/27/2006) 1 pursuant to 29 CFR 

1910.7, and OSHA published the 

required preliminary notice in the 

Federal Register on November 18, 2010 

(75 FR 70696) to announce the 

application. The notice included a 

preliminary finding that QPS could 

meet the requirements for recognition 

detailed in 29 CFR 1910.7, and invited 

public comment on the application by 

December 20, 2010. OSHA received no 

comments in response to the notice. 

OSHA now is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant QPS’s recognition 

application. 

All public documents pertaining to 

the QPS application are available for 

review by contacting the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210. 

These materials also are available online 

at http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2010–0046. 

The current address of the laboratory 

facility (site) that OSHA recognizes for 

QPS is: QPS Evaluation Services Inc., 81 

Kelfield Street, Unit 8, Toronto, Ontario, 

M9W 5A3, Canada. 

General Background on the Application 

According to the application, QPS 

was established in 1995 as a Canadian 

Standards Association field-inspection 

agency. In 1998, QPS performed 

technical services for Entela, Inc., an 

organization formerly recognized by 

OSHA as an NRTL, which another 

NRTL subsequently acquired. The 

application also states that QPS received 

accreditation by other well-known 

accreditors (i.e., the Standards Council 

of Canada and the International 

Electrotechnical Commission 

Certification Body (IEC CB) Scheme). 

QPS applied on January 27, 2006, for 

recognition of one site and a number of 

test standards. (See Ex. 2.) In response 

to OSHA’s request for clarification, QPS 

amended its application to provide 

additional technical details, and then 

provided further details in a later 

update. (See Ex. 3—QPS amended 

application, dated 4/15/2008 and 11/30/ 

2009.) OSHA’s NRTL Program staff 

performed an on-site assessment of the 

QPS facility in April 2010. Based on this 

assessment, the OSHA staff 

recommended recognition of QPS in 

their on-site review report of the 

assessment. (See Ex. 4—OSHA on-site 

review report on QPS.) 

Through its amended application 

information (see Ex. 3), QPS represented 

that it maintains the experience, 

expertise, personnel, organization, 

equipment, and facilities suitable for 

accreditation as an OSHA Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory. It also 

represented that it meets, or will meet, 

the requirements for recognition defined 

in 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA addresses the four 

requirements for recognition (i.e., 

capability, control procedures, 

independence, and creditable reports 

and complaint handling) below, along 

with examples that illustrate how QPS 

meets each of these requirements. The 

applicant’s summary addressing 

OSHA’s evaluation criteria references 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2011 / Notices 11519 

many, but not all, of the documents or 

processes described below (see the QPS 

basic information summary; hereafter, 

‘‘Basic Summary,’’ which is part of Ex. 

3, portions of which are confidential). 

Capability 

Section 1910.7(b)(1) states that, for 

each specified item of equipment or 

material proposed for listing, labeling, 

or acceptance, the NRTL must have the 

capability (including proper testing 

equipment and facilities, trained staff, 

written testing procedures, and 

calibration and quality-control 

programs) to perform appropriate 

testing. The ‘‘Capability’’ section of the 

Basic Summary (NA) shows that the 

applicant has security measures and 

detailed procedures in place to restrict 

or control access to its facility, to areas 

within its facility, and to confidential 

information. This section also states that 

QPS’s facility has equipment for 

monitoring, controlling, and recording 

environmental conditions during tests. 

QPS provided a list of this equipment, 

which NRTL Program staff examined 

during the on-site review (Ex. 4, p. 1). 

This section shows that QPS has 

detailed procedures for handling test 

samples. In addition, the Basic 

Summary or documents it references 

show that the QPS facility has adequate 

test areas and energy sources, and 

procedures for controlling incompatible 

activities. QPS provided a detailed list 

of its testing equipment (NA), and 

OSHA’s on-site review (Ex. 4, p. 2) 

confirmed that much of this equipment 

is in place. Review of the application 

shows that the equipment listed is 

available (NA) and adequate for the 

scope of testing described below. 

The ‘‘Capability’’ section of the Basic 

Summary (NA) indicates that QPS has 

detailed procedures addressing the 

maintenance and calibration of 

equipment, as well as the types of 

records maintained for, or supporting, 

many laboratory activities. It also 

indicates that QPS has detailed 

procedures for conducting testing, 

review, and evaluation, and for 

capturing the test and other data 

required by the standard for which it 

seeks recognition. OSHA’s on-site 

review (Ex. 4, p. 2) examined these test 

data and evaluation documents. QPS 

currently is using some of these 

procedures to test products for NRTLs. 

Further, this section indicates that QPS 

has detailed procedures for processing 

applications, and for developing new 

procedures. 

The amended application (Ex. 3) 

contained adequate procedures to 

address training or qualifying staff for 

particular technical tasks (NA). The 

amended application indicates that QPS 

has sufficient qualified personnel to 

perform the proposed scope of testing 

based on their education, training, 

technical knowledge, and experience. 

OSHA’s on-site review (Ex. 4, p. 3) 

confirmed many of these qualifications. 

The amended application provides 

evidence that QPS has an adequate 

quality-control system in place, and 

OSHA’s on-site review (Ex. 4, p. 3) 

verified the performance of internal 

audits, and tracking and resolution of 

nonconformances. 

Control Procedures 

Section 1910.7(b)(2) requires that the 

NRTL provide controls and services, to 

the extent necessary, for the particular 

equipment or material proposed for 

listing, labeling, or acceptance. These 

controls and services include 

procedures for identifying the listed or 

labeled equipment or materials, 

inspections of production runs at 

factories to assure conformance with 

test standards, and field inspections to 

monitor and assure the proper use of 

identifying marks or labels. 

The ‘‘Control Programs’’ section of the 

Basic Summary shows that QPS has the 

quality-control manual and detailed 

procedures to address the steps 

involved to list and certify products. 

QPS has a registered certification mark. 

In addition, the ‘‘Control Programs’’ 

section shows that the applicant has 

certification procedures (NA); these 

procedures address the authorization of 

certifications and audits of factory 

facilities. The audits apply to both the 

initial evaluations and the follow-up 

inspections of manufacturers’ facilities. 

This section indicates that procedures 

also exist for authorizing the use of the 

certification mark, and the actions taken 

when QPS finds that the manufacturer 

is deviating from the certification 

requirements. Factory inspections will 

be a new activity for QPS, and OSHA 

will need to review the effectiveness of 

QPS’s inspection program when it is in 

place. As a result, OSHA is proposing a 

condition to ensure that QPS conducts 

inspections properly, and at the 

frequency set forth in the applicable 

NRTL Program policy (see OSHA 

Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, 

paragraph III.A). 

Independence 

Section 1910.7(b)(3) requires that the 

NRTL be completely independent of 

employers that are subject to the testing 

requirements, and of any manufacturers 

or vendors of equipment or materials 

tested under the NRTL Program. OSHA 

has a policy for the independence of 

NRTLs that specifies the criteria used 

for determining whether an organization 

meets the above requirement. (See 

OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix 

C, paragraph V.) This policy contains a 

non-exhaustive list of relationships that 

would cause an organization to fail to 

meet the specified criteria. The 

‘‘Independence’’ section of the Basic 

Summary, and additional information 

submitted by QPS (NA), shows that it 

has none of these relationships, or any 

other relationship that could subject it 

to undue influence when testing for 

product safety. QPS is a privately 

owned organization, and OSHA found 

no information about its ownership that 

would qualify as a conflict under 

OSHA’s independence policy. The 

amended application indicates that 

there is no financial affiliation between 

the ownership of QPS and 

manufacturers. In summary, the 

information related to independence 

demonstrates that QPS meets the 

independence requirement. 

Credible Reports and Complaint 

Handling 

Section 1910.7(b)(4) specifies that an 

NRTL must maintain effective 

procedures for producing credible 

findings and reports that are objective 

and free of bias, and for handling 

complaints and disputes under a fair 

and reasonable system. The ‘‘Report and 

Complaint Procedures’’ section of the 

Summary document (NA) shows that 

the applicant has detailed procedures 

describing the content of the test 

reports, and other detailed procedures 

describing the preparation and approval 

of these reports. This section also shows 

that the applicant has procedures for 

recording, analyzing, and processing 

complaints from users, manufacturers, 

and other parties in a fair manner. The 

on-site review (Ex. 4, p. 3) confirmed 

that QPS processes complaints in a 

timely and appropriate manner. 

Supplemental Programs 

OSHA is approving QPS to use the 

following supplemental program for 

which it applied: 

Program 9: Acceptance of services 

other than testing or evaluation 

performed by subcontractors or agents 

(for calibration services only). 

QPS applied to use additional 

programs, but then voluntarily 

withdrew its request after OSHA 

informed QPS that OSHA was ending 

the practice of approving most of these 

programs for new applicants. In the 

past, when granting NRTL recognition 

to an organization, OSHA approved the 

applicant’s use of any supplemental 

programs for which the applicant met 

the criteria. However, OSHA is

2The designations and titles of these test 

standards were current at the time of the 

preparation of this notice. 

discontinuing this practice for new 

applicants for the NRTL Program 

because the applicants do not yet have 

experience in implementing the 

procedures for testing, evaluating, and 

performing inspections used under the 

NRTL Program. This practice did not 

allow the NRTL’s staff at its recognized 

site(s) to attain the necessary 

experience, nor did the practice allow 

OSHA adequate time to evaluate 

properly that staff’s technical 

experience. OSHA also is discontinuing 

the practice when an existing NRTL 

applies to expand its recognition under 

the NRTL Program to include additional 

standards for testing a type of product 

not tested previously by the NRTL 

under the NRTL Program. Examples of 

such product testing include testing 

hazardous-location products when 

OSHA recognizes the NRTL for testing 

only ordinary-location products, and 

testing gas-operated products when 

OSHA limits the NRTL’s recognition to 

testing only electrically operated 

products. Therefore, before OSHA 

approves any NRTL or applicant to use 

or rely on tests, evaluations, and 

inspections performed by other parties, 

OSHA must first ensure that the NRTL/ 

applicant performs these activities 

adequately using its own staff located at 

its recognized site(s). The only 

exception to this policy is Program 9, 

which permits the use of qualified 

parties to calibrate an NRTL’s testing 

equipment. This exception does not 

affect materially the capability of an 

NRTL/applicant to meet OSHA’s 

requirements for recognition. However, 

regarding approval to use Program 9 for 

other services or supplemental 

programs, an NRTL/applicant may 

apply for such approval when OSHA 

determines that the NRTL/applicant 

tests, evaluates, and performs 

inspections adequately using its own 

staff located at its recognized site(s). 

Accordingly, OSHA will continue to 

deny use of such a program, or 

withdraw its prior approval to use such 

a program, when it determines that an 

NRTL/applicant is not testing, 

evaluating, and performing inspections 

adequately using its own staff located at 

its recognized site(s). 

Additional Condition 

As described above, while QPS has 

testing and evaluation procedures, 

OSHA could not review how QPS 

implemented them because QPS did not 

use them for testing and certifying 

products under the program. In 

addition, as also described above, while 

QPS has factory-inspection procedures, 

it currently does not conduct regular 

factory inspections. QPS recently 

developed some of these testing- and 

factory-inspection procedures. 

Therefore, OSHA also must review the 

effectiveness of QPS’s testing and 

evaluation procedures, as well as its 

factory-inspection program, following 

recognition of QPS as an NRTL, and do 

so within a reasonable period after 

granting such recognition. 

Consequently, OSHA recognizes QPS 

conditionally, subject to a later 

determination of the effectiveness of 

these procedures. OSHA is listing this 

condition first under the ‘‘Conditions’’ 

section below. This condition applies 

solely to QPS’s operations as an NRTL, 

and only to those products that it 

certifies for purposes of enabling 

employers to meet OSHA productapproval requirements. This condition 

is in addition to all other conditions that 

OSHA normally imposes in its 

recognition of an organization as an 

NRTL. 

Imposing this condition is consistent 

with OSHA’s past recognition of 

organizations as NRTLs that met the 

basic recognition requirements, but 

needed to further refine or implement 

their procedures (for example, see 63 FR 

68306, 12/10/1998, and 65 FR 26637, 

05/08/2000). Based on QPS’s current 

activities in testing and certification, 

OSHA is confident that QPS will 

perform its activities properly in the 

areas noted above. 

Final Decision and Order 

The NRTL Program staff examined 

QPS’s application, the additional 

submissions, the on-site review report, 

and other pertinent documents. Based 

on this examination and analysis, OSHA 

finds that QPS meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory, subject to the limitation and 

conditions listed below. The recognition 

applies to the site listed above, and it 

covers the test standards listed below, 

subject to the limitation and conditions 

also listed below. Pursuant to the 

authority granted by 29 CFR 1910.7, 

OSHA hereby grants the recognition of 

QPS, subject to this limitation and these 

conditions. 

Limitation 

OSHA hereby limits the recognition of 

QPS to testing and certification of 

products for demonstration of 

conformance to the following test 

standards, each of which OSHA 

determines is an appropriate test 

standard within the meaning of 29 CFR 

1910.7(c).2

UL 508A Industrial Control Panels. 

UL 913 Intrinsically Safe Apparatus 

and Associated Apparatus for Use in 

Class I, II, III, Division I, Hazardous 

(Classified) Locations. 

UL 1203 Explosion Proof and Dust 

Ignition Proof Electrical Equipment 

for Use in Hazardous (Classified) 

Locations. 

UL 6500 Audio/Video and Musical 

Instrument Apparatus for Household, 

Commercial, and Similar General Use. 

UL 60335–1 Safety of Household and 

Similar Electrical Appliances, Part 1: 

General Requirements. 

UL 60601–1 Medical Electrical 

Equipment, Part 1: General 

Requirements for Safety. 

UL 60950 Information Technology 

Equipment. 

UL 61010–1 Electrical Equipment for 

Measurement, Control, and 

Laboratory Use—Part 1: General 

Requirements. 

OSHA limits recognition of any NRTL 

for a particular test standard to 

equipment or materials (i.e., products) 

for which OSHA standards require 

third-party testing and certification 

before use in the workplace. 

Consequently, if a test standard also 

covers any product for which OSHA 

does not require such testing and 

certification, an NRTL’s scope of 

recognition does not include that 

product. 

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 instead of 

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 ANSIapproved. 

Conditions 

QPS also must abide by the following 

conditions of its NRTL recognition, in 

addition to those conditions already 

required by 29 CFR 1910.7: 

1. Within 30 days of certifying its first 

products under the NRTL Program, QPS 

will notify the OSHA NRTL Program 

Director of this activity so that OSHA 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2011 / Notices 11521 

may schedule its first audit of QPS. At 

this first audit of QPS, QPS must 

demonstrate that it properly conducted 

testing, review, evaluation, and factory 

inspections; QPS must conduct factory 

inspections at the frequency set forth in 

the applicable NRTL Program policy. 

2. QPS will allow OSHA access to its 

facilities and records to ascertain 

continuing compliance with the terms 

of its NRTL recognition, and to perform 

such investigations as OSHA deems 

necessary; 

3. If QPS has reason to doubt the 

efficacy of any test standard it is using 

under its NRTL recognition, it will 

promptly inform the test standarddeveloping organization of this concern, 

and provide that organization with the 

appropriate relevant information on 

which it bases its concern; 

4. QPS will not engage in, or permit 

others to engage in, any 

misrepresentation of the scope or 

conditions of its recognition. As part of 

this condition, QPS agrees that it will 

allow no representation that it is either 

a recognized or an accredited NRTL 

without clearly indicating the specific 

equipment or material to which this 

recognition applies, and also clearly 

indicating that OSHA limits its NRTL 

recognition to specific products; 

5. QPS will inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major changes in its 

operations as an NRTL, including 

details of these changes; 

6. QPS will meet all of the terms of 

its NRTL recognition, and will always 

comply with all OSHA policies 

pertaining to this recognition; and 

7. QPS will continue to meet the 

requirements for NRTL recognition in 

all areas covered by the scope of this 

recognition.
