SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that FM 

Approvals LLC (FM) is applying for an 

expansion of current recognition as a 

NRTL. FM requests the addition of five 

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 FM, 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. 

FM currently has two facilities (sites) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with the headquarters 

located at: FM Approvals LLC, 1151 

Boston-Providence Turnpike, Norwood, 

Massachusetts 02062. A complete list of 

FM’s scope of recognition is available at 

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

fm.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

FM submitted an application to 

OSHA to expand recognition as a NRTL 

to include five additional test standards 

on May 16, 2019 (OSHA–2007–0041– 

0014). 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 FM’s application for 

expansion for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN FM’S NRTL SCOPE OF

RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

* ANSI FM 

3265.

Spark Detection and Extinguishing 

Systems. 

UL 268 ............ Smoke Detectors for Fire Alarm 

Systems. 

UL 1971 .......... Signaling Devices for the Hearing 

Impaired. 

UL 2127 .......... Inert Gas Clean Agent Extinguishing System Units. 

UL 2166 .......... Halocarbon Clean Agent Extinguishing System Units. 

* Represents the standard that OSHA proposes to 

add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test 

Standards. 

III. Proposal To Add New Test 

Standard 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
11796 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 37 / Friday, February 26, 2021 / Notices 

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 

one new test standard to the NRTL 

Program’s list of appropriate test 

standards. Table 2, below, lists the test 

standard that is new to the NRTL 

Program. OSHA preliminarily 

determined that this test standard is 

appropriate and proposes to include it 

in the NRTL Program’s list of 

appropriate test standards. OSHA seeks 

public comment on this preliminary 

determination.

STANDARDS

Systems. 

IV. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

FM submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that FM can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

these five test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of FM’s application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether FM 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 five 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–2007–0041. 

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 FM’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.
