SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice that it is 

granting the renewal of recognition to 

TU ̈ V SU ̈ D America, Inc. 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 America, Inc. (TUVAM) 

initially received OSHA recognition as a 

NRTL on January 25, 2002 (65 FR 

26637), for a five-year period ending on 

January 25, 2007. TUVAM’s most recent 

renewal was granted on January 30, 

2014, for a five year period ending on 

January 20, 2019. TUVAM submitted a 

timely request for renewal, dated April 

26, 2018 (OSHA–2007–0043–0029), and 

retains their recognition pending 

OSHA’s final decision in this renewal 

process. The current addresses of 

TUVAM facilities recognized by OSHA 

and included as part of the renewal 

request are: 

1. TUVAM, 10 Centennial Drive, 

Peabody, Massachusetts 01960; 

2. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D America, 141 14th Street 

NW, New Brighton, Minnesota 55112; 

3. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D America, Inc., 10040 

Mesa Rim Road, San Diego, California

4. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D China, Shanghai Branch 

3–13, No. 151 Heng Tong Road, 

Shanghai 

200070, P.R. China. 

5. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Canada, 1229 Ringwell

Germany; and 

7. TU ̈ V SU ̈ D Product Services GmbH, 

Daimlerstrasse 11 D–85748, Garching, 

Germany. 

OSHA evaluated TUVAM’s 

application for renewal and made a 

preliminary determination that TUVAM 

can continue to meet the requirements 

prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

recognition. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVAM’s renewal 

application in the Federal Register on 

July 13, 2020 (85 FR 42016). 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 TUVAM 

NRTL recognition.

public documents pertaining to the 

TUVAM’s application, go to

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

renewal of recognition of TUVAM as a 

NRTL. OSHA examined TUVAM’s 

renewal application and all pertinent 

information related to TUVAM’s request 

for renewal of NRTL recognition. Based 

on this review of the renewal request 

and other pertinent information, OSHA 

finds that TUVAM 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 

TUVAM’s recognition to include the 

terms and conditions of TUVAM’s 

recognition found in 67 FR 3737. The 

NRTL scope of recognition for TUVAM 

is also available on the OSHA website 

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

tuvam.html. This renewal extends 

TUVAM’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, 

TUVAM must abide by the following 

conditions of recognition: 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

personnel, and of any major change in 

their operations as a NRTL, and provide

2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of 

their recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this

3. TUVAM must continue to meet the

all previously published conditions on 

TUVAM’s scope of recognition, in all

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice that it is 

granting the renewal of recognition of 

Southwest Research Institute, Inc. 

(SWRI) 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

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

of the current recognition. A renewal 

request includes a request for renewal 

and any additional information

compliance with the terms of the 

recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA

it will schedule the necessary on-site

recognition for a period of five years, or 

denying the renewal of recognition. 

SWRI initially received OSHA 

recognition as a NRTL on July 13, 1993 

(58 FR 37752). SWRI’s most recent 

renewal was granted on July 30, 2014, 

for a five-year period ending on July 30, 

2019. SWRI submitted a timely request 

for renewal, dated September 14, 2018 

(OSHA–2006–0041–0008), and retains 

their recognition pending OSHA’s final 

decision in this renewal process. The

recognized by OSHA and included as 

part of the renewal request is: 

Southwest Research Institute, 6220 

Culebra Road, Post Office Drawer 28510,

NRTL. OSHA examined SWRI’s renewal 

application and all pertinent 

information related to SWRI’s request 

for renewal of NRTL recognition. Based
