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 

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 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.

Table 1 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in BVCPS’s

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

BVCPS submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file and pertinent 

documentation indicates BVCPS can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding recognition to 

include the addition of the twenty-one 

test standards for NRTL testing and 

certification, as well as the two testing 

sites listed above. This preliminary 

finding does not constitute an interim or 

temporary approval of BVCPS’s 

application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether BVCPS 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. 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–2009–0026. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, the agency 

will make a recommendation to the 

Assistant Secretary for Occupational 

Safety and Health whether to grant 

BVCPS’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 

its final decision in the Federal 

Register.
