SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice that it is 

granting the renewal of recognition of 

TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Product Services GmbH 

(TUVPSG) 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. 

TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Product Services GmbH 

(TUVPSG) initially received OSHA 

recognition as a NRTL on July 20, 2001 

(66 FR 38032). TUVPSG’s most recent 

renewal was granted on January 30, 

2014, for a five year period ending on 

January 30, 2019. TUVPSG submitted a 

timely request for renewal, dated April 

16, 2018 (OSHA–2005–0022–0012), and 

retains the recognition pending OSHA’s 

final decision in this renewal process. 

The current addresses of TUVPSG 

facilities recognized by OSHA and 

included as part of the renewal request 

are: 

1. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Product Services GmbH 

Munich, Ridlerstrasse 65 D–80339 

Munich, Germany; and 

2. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Product Services GmbH, 

Daimlerstrasse 11 D–85748 Garching, 

Germany. 

OSHA evaluated TUVPSG’s 

application for renewal and made a 

preliminary determination that TUVPSG 

can continue to meet the requirements 

prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

recognition. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVPSG’s renewal 

application in the Federal Register on 

July 13, 2020 (85 FR 42023). 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 TUVPSG 

NRTL recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

TUVPSG’s application, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,

telephone (202) 693–2350. Docket No. 

OSHA–2005–0022 contains all materials 

in the record concerning TUVPSG’s 

NRTL recognition. Please note: Due to 

the COVID–19 pandemic, the Docket 

Office is closed to the public at this time 

but can be contacted at (202) 693–2350. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

renewal of recognition of TUVPSG as a 

NRTL. OSHA examined TUVPSG’s 

renewal application and all pertinent 

information related to TUVPSG’s 

request for renewal of NRTL 

recognition. Based on this review of the 

renewal request and other pertinent 

information, OSHA finds that TUVPSG 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for renewal of recognition as a 

NRTL, subject to the specified limitation 

and conditions. OSHA limits the 

renewal of TUVPSG’s recognition to 

include the terms and conditions of 

TUVPSG’s recognition found in 66 FR 

38032. The NRTL scope of recognition 

for TUVPSG is also available on the 

OSHA website at: https://

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

tuvpsg.html. This renewal extends 

TUVPSG’s recognition as a NRTL for a 

period of five years from March 5, 2021. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, 

TUVPSG must abide by the following 

conditions of recognition: 

1. TUVPSG 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 operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. TUVPSG must meet all the terms of 

their recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVPSG must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

BVCPS’s scope of recognition, in all 

areas for which it has recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby renews the 

recognition of TUVPSG as a NRTL.
