SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that UL 

LLC (UL) is applying for an expansion 

of their current recognition as a NRTL. 

UL 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 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 

the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

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

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

UL currently has thirteen facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with its 

headquarters located at: Underwriters 

Laboratories, Inc., 333 Pfingsten Road, 

Northbrook, Illinois 60062. A complete 

list of UL sites recognized by OSHA is 

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

otpca/nrtl/ul.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Applications 

UL submitted three applications to 

OSHA to expand their recognition as a 

NRTL. The first application was 

received on May 31, 2019 (OSHA–2009– 

0025–0032), the second application was 

received on July 2, 2019 (OSHA–2009– 

0025–0033), and the third application 

was received on April 15, 2020 (OSHA– 

2009–0025–0034). The expansion 

applications would add fourteen 

additional test standards to UL’s NRTL 

recognition. 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 UL’s applications for 

expansion for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program.

III. Proposal To Add New Test 

Standards to the NRTL Program’s List 

of Appropriate Test Standards 

Periodically, OSHA will propose to 

add new test standards to the NRTL list 

of appropriate test standards following 

an evaluation of the test standard 

document. To qualify as an appropriate 

test standard, the agency evaluates the 

document to: (1) Verify it represents a 

product category for which OSHA 

requires certification by a NRTL; (2) 

verify the document represents a 

product and not a component; and (3) 

verify the document defines safety test 

specifications (not installation or 

operational performance specifications). 

OSHA becomes aware of new test 

standards through various avenues. For 

example, OSHA may become aware of 

new test standards by: (1) Monitoring 

notifications issued by certain 

Standards Development Organizations; 

(2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or 

applicants seeking recognition to 

include new test standard in their 

scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining 

notification from manufacturers, 

manufacturing organizations, 

government agencies, or other parties. 

OSHA may determine to include a new 

test standard in the list, for example, if 

the test standard is for a particular type 

of product that another test standard 

also covers or it covers a type of product 

that no standard previously covered. 

In this notice, OSHA proposes to add 

eight new test standards to the NRTL 

Program’s list of appropriate test 

standards. Table 2, below, lists the test 

standards that are new to the NRTL 

Program. OSHA preliminarily 

determined that these test standards are 

appropriate test standards and proposes 

to include them in the NRTL Program’s 

list of appropriate test standards. OSHA 

seeks public comment on this 

preliminary determination.

STANDARDS

IV. Preliminary Findings on the 

Applications 

UL submitted acceptable applications 

for expansion of the scope of 

recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that UL can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

these fourteen test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of UL’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether UL meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the 

recognition as a NRTL. OSHA 

additionally welcomes comments on the 

proposal to add eight additional test 

standards to the NRTL Program’s list of 

appropriate test standards. 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. Commenters 

must submit the written request for an 

extension by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if the request 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. These materials also are 

available online at http://

www.regulations.gov under Docket No. 

OSHA–2009–0025. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will make a 

recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary for Occupational Safety and 

Health whether to grant UL’s 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. The Assistant Secretary 

will make the final decision on granting 

the application. 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 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that Bureau 

Veritas Consumer Product Services, Inc. 

(BVCPS), is applying for expansion of 

recognition as a NRTL. BVCPS requests 

the addition of two recognized testing 

sites and twenty-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

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

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 BVCPS, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at: http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

BVCPS currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with headquarters 

located at: Bureau Veritas Consumer 

Products Services, Inc., One 

Distribution Circle, Suite #1, Littleton, 

MA 01460. A complete list of BVCPS’s 

scope of recognition is available at: 

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

csl.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

BVCPS submitted an application, 

dated June 28, 2018 (OSHA–2009– 

0026–0084), to expand recognition to 

include the addition of two recognized 

testing and certification sites. BVCPS 

amended this application on May 20, 

2020, to include the addition of twentytwo recognized test standards. The first 

site is located at: Bureau Veritas 

Consumer Products Services (H.K.) Ltd. 

Taoyuan Branch, No. 19, Hwa Ya 2nd 

Rd., Wen Hwa Vil., Kewi Shan Dist., 

Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The second site 

is located at: LCIE China Company 

Limited, Building 4, No. 518, Xin Zhuan 

Road, CaoHejiing Songjiang High-Tech 

Park, Shanghai, 201612 China. One of 

the standards requested in the 

application, UL 962, is already included 

in BVCPS’s current NRTL scope of 

recognition and will not be considered 

in this notice. OSHA staff performed onsite reviews of BVCPS’s Shanghai China 

testing facility on February 27–28, 2019, 

and BVCPS Taoyuan Branch’s testing 

facility on March 5–6, 2019, in which 

the assessors found some nonconformances with the requirements of 

29 CFR 1910.7. BVCPS addressed these 

non-conformances satisfactorily, and 

OSHA has made a preliminary decision 

to approve the application.
