1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major change in their

their recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice that it is 

granting the renewal of recognition of 

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. 

(TUVRNA) as a NRTL under 29 CFR 

1910.7. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 

29, Code of Federal Regulations (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 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification. OSHA 

maintains an informational web page for 

each NRTL that details the scope of 

recognition available at http://

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

index.html. 

OSHA processes applications 

submitted by an NRTL for renewal of 

recognition following requirements in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA 

conducts renewals in accordance with 

the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, App. 

A II.C. In accordance with these 

procedures, NRTLs submit a renewal 

request to OSHA between nine months 

and one year before the expiration date 

of the current recognition. A renewal 

request includes a request for renewal 

and any additional information 

demonstrating their continued 

compliance with the terms of the 

recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA 

has not conducted an on-site assessment 

of the NRTL headquarters and any key 

sites within the past 18 to 24 months, 

it will schedule the necessary on-site 

assessment prior to the expiration date 

of the NRTL’s recognition. Upon review 

of the submitted material and, as 

necessary, the successful completion of 

the on-site assessment, OSHA 

announces the preliminary decision to 

grant or deny renewal in the Federal 

Register and solicits comments from the 

public. OSHA then publishes a final 

Federal Register notice responding to 

any comments and renewing the NRTL’s 

recognition for a period of five years, or 

denying the renewal of recognition. 

TUVRNA initially received OSHA 

recognition as a NRTL on August 16, 

1995 (60 FR 42594). TUVRNA’s most 

recent renewal was on July 30, 2014, for 

a five-year period, expiring on July 30, 

2019. TUVRNA submitted a timely 

request for renewal, dated August 16, 

2018 (OSHA–2007–0042–0035), and 

retains its recognition pending OSHA’s 

final decision in this renewal process. 

The current addresses of TUVRNA 

facilities recognized by OSHA and 

included as part of the renewal request 

are: 

1. TUVRNA Newtown, 12 Commerce Road, 

Newtown, Connecticut 06470; 

2. TUVRNA Pleasanton, 1279 Quarry Lane,

OSHA evaluated TUVRNA’s 

application for renewal and made a 

preliminary determination that 

TUVRNA can continue to meet the 

requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 

1910.7 for recognition. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVRNA’s renewal 

application in the Federal Register on 

July 13, 2020 (85 FR 42017). The agency 

requested comments by July 28, 2020, 

and received no comments in response 

to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding 

with this final notice to renew 

TUVRNA’s NRTL recognition.

public documents pertaining to the 

TUVRNA’s application, go to
