SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Applications for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that TUV 

Rheinland of North America, Inc. 

(TUVRNA), is applying for expansion of 

the current recognition as a NRTL. 

TUVRNA requests the addition of 

fourteen 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 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 TUVRNA, which details the 

NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

TUVRNA currently has eight facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with 

headquarters located at: TUV Rheinland 

of North America, Inc., 12 Commerce 

Road, Newtown, Connecticut 06470. A 

complete list of TUVRNA sites 

recognized by OSHA is available at 

https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

tuv.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Applications 

TUVRNA submitted two applications, 

one dated April 28, 2017 (OSHA–2007– 

0042–0042) and another dated August 

21, 2017 (OSHA–2007–0042–0043), to 

expand recognition to include the 

addition of fourteen test standards. 

OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of the application packets and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OSHA did not perform any on-site 

reviews in relation to these applications. 

Table 1 lists the appropriate test 

standards found in TUVRNA’s 

applications for expansion for testing

III. Preliminary Finding on the 

Applications 

TUVRNA submitted two acceptable 

applications for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files indicates that TUVRNA 

can meet the requirements prescribed by 

29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding 

recognition to include the addition of 

these fourteen test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification. This 

preliminary finding does not constitute 

an interim or temporary approval of 

TUVRNA’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether TUVRNA meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of recognition as a NRTL. 

Comments should consist of pertinent 

written documents and exhibits. 

Commenters needing more time to 

comment must submit a request in 

writing, stating the reasons for the 

request by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified. To obtain or review 

copies of the exhibits identified in this 

notice, as well as comments submitted 

to the docket, contact the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, listed in ADDRESSES. These 

materials also are available online at 

https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, staff will 

make a recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health on whether to grant 

TUVRNA’s applications for expansion 

of the scope of recognition. The 

Assistant Secretary will make the final 

decision on granting the applications. In 

making this decision, the Assistant 

Secretary may undertake other 

proceedings prescribed in Appendix A 

to 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

this final decision in the Federal 

Register.
