SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

The Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives

notice of the expansion of recognition of

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.,

(TUV) , as a Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory (NRTL). TUV’s

expansion request covers the use of the

additional test standards listed below.

OSHA recognition of an NRTL

signifies that the organization has met

the legal 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 its scope of recognition

and is not a delegation or grant of

government authority. As a result of

recognition, OSHA can accept products

‘‘properly certified’’ by the NRTL.

OSHA processes applications related to

an NRTL’s recognition following

requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR

1910.7. This appendix requires that the

Agency publish this public notice of its

final decision on an application.

TUV submitted a request, dated May

5, 1999 (see Exhibit 19A), to expand its

recognition as an NRTL for 139

additional test standards. TUV also

submitted information in support of its

request with a letter, dated July 6, 1999

(see Exhibit 19B). In this submission,

TUV also requested recognition for an

additional 5 standards, bringing the

total requested for the expansion to 144.

The NRTL Program staff determined

that 29 of the 144 standards were not

‘‘appropriate test standards,’’ within the

meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). The staff

makes such determinations in

processing expansion requests from any

NRTL. Therefore, OSHA approved 115

test standards for the expansion. The

staff temporarily withheld its

consideration of TUV’s expansion

request due to findings noted during a

review of TUV’s site. TUV has provided

documentation to OSHA to resolve the

issues raised by the review. Although

the NRTL Program staff has accepted the

NRTL’s resolution, we include a

condition below related to this

resolution. We also include a condition

related to the documentation TUV

submitted in support of its expansion

request.

OSHA published the required notice

in the Federal Register (65 FR 11345,

03/02/2000) to announce the TUV

expansion request. The notice included

a preliminary finding that TUV could

meet the requirements for expansion of

its recognition, subject to certain

conditions, and OSHA invited public

comment on the application by May 1,

2000. OSHA received no comments

concerning this application.

The preliminary notice listed 119 test

standards, four of which TUV had not

requested and OSHA had not approved

for TUV: UL 443, UL 444, UL 448, and

UL 452. We exclude these standards

from this final notice. However, as

explained below, we include four other

test standards in the list, bringing the

total number of standards approved for

the expansion to 119.

In processing TUV’s request, OSHA

performed an on-site assessment

(review) of TUV’s facility in Newtown,

Connecticut, on July 12–14, 1999. In the

final report of the on-site review (see

Exhibit 20), the assessor recommended

the expansion for the additional test

standards.

The most recent notices published by

OSHA for the TUV recognition covered

an expansion of recognition, which

OSHA announced on January 8, 1998

(63 FR 1127) and granted on April 2,

1998 (63 FR 16280).

You may obtain or review copies of

all public documents pertaining to the

application by contacting the Docket

Administration, U.S. Department of

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW,

telephone: (202) 693–2350. You should

refer to Docket No. NRTL–3–92, the

permanent records of public

information on the TUV recognition.

The current address of the TUV

facility (site) recognized by OSHA is:

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.,

12 Commerce Road, Newtown,

Connecticut 06470.

Interim Approval Subject To Review

Some of the standards requested by

TUV were not ‘‘appropriate’’ because

the standards developing organization

(SDO) had withdrawn the standard.

Under our procedures for the NRTL

Program, when an SDO withdraws a test

standard, an NRTL may request

recognition for a comparable standard,

and OSHA will note the substitution if

it determines the standard is

appropriate and comparable. However,

through no fault of TUV, it made such

a request after publication of the

preliminary notice (see Exh. 19C).

OSHA has included in the list below UL

2157, UL 2158, and UL 3121–1, as

replacement for UL 1092, UL 560, UL

1555, and UL 1556, all of which TUV

included in its original request of May

5. Also, in its May 5 request, TUV had

applied for ‘‘UL 335–1 General

Appliances, IEC based,’’ which the

NRTL staff did not find listed in UL’s

on-line catalog of standards. Therefore,

the staff excluded this standard from the

preliminary notice. After the

publication of the notice, the staff

learned that TUV had intended to apply

for UL 60335–1 Safety of Household and

Similar Electrical Appliances, Part 1;

General Requirements. OSHA would

have included this standard in the

preliminary notice if the staff had

known and reviewed the correct

standard. OSHA is expanding the

recognition of TUV to include the above

four standards, which require the same

type of capabilities as many other test

standards approved for the expansion.

However, since these standards were

not included in the preliminary notice,

the Agency will provide interested

parties an opportunity to comment.

Comments submitted by interested

parties must be received no later than

August 28, 2000. If we receive

comments, OSHA will determine

whether additional procedures are

necessary.

Additional Conditions

TUV has demonstrated its general

capability for testing to the above

standards. The testing capabilities

required under these standards are very

similar to those standards for which it

is already recognized. TUV has general

‘‘procedures’’ that it can adapt for each

specific test standard covered by this

notice, and it will develop more specific

testing procedures for each test

standard. However, it must have these

procedures in-place before it can

undertake any testing, and therefore

before any certification, of products

covered by the particular test standard.

If these procedures are not in place,

TUV would not meet the requirements

for continued recognition of the

particular test standard(s). As a result,

OSHA recognizes TUV for the

additional standards listed above

subject to a later assessment of the

relevant documentation and procedures

for testing to these standards. During

future on-site visits of the NRTL, the

NRTL Program staff would audit for

compliance to the condition. The

Agency would commence the process to

revoke recognition for any test standards

for which TUV does not properly meet

the condition.

As mentioned above, TUV submitted

documentation to OSHA to resolve

certain findings noted during a review

of TUV’s site. The NRTL Program staff

withheld its consideration of TUV’s

expansion request until the NRTL

submitted its resolution. Although the

staff has accepted the resolution, it will

take some time to implement. However,

since the staff believes that TUV will

make full implementation, OSHA has

decided to proceed with the expansion

but includes a condition to comply with

our approval procedures. The condition

provides the Agency with added

assurance that TUV will properly

implement its resolution. The Agency

does not reveal the specific findings of

its on-site reviews because they often

contain specific details that may be

confidential or privileged to the NRTL.

For purposes of this notice, OSHA

proposes the condition in terms that the

Agency believes are fair to the NRTL

and provide appropriate information to

the public.

Therefore, OSHA includes

appropriate conditions below to address

these matters. These conditions apply

solely to the TUV operations as an

NRTL and solely to those products that

it certifies for purposes of enabling

employers to meet OSHA product

approval requirements. The conditions

are in addition to the other conditions

listed below, which OSHA normally

imposes in its recognition of an

organization as an NRTL. The NRTL

Program staff includes these types of

additional conditions on OSHA’s

informational web page for the NRTL.

When the staff determines that a

particular condition has been satisfied,

not only for TUV but for any NRTL, they

will remove the condition from the web

page and notify the NRTL accordingly.

OSHA has no requirement to publish a

public notice to remove conditions it

imposes as part of its NRTL recognition

activities.

Final Decision and Order

The NRTL Program staff has

examined the application, the on-site

review report, and other pertinent

information. Based upon this

examination and the staff’s

recommendation, OSHA finds that TUV

Rheinland of North America, Inc., has

met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7

for expansion of its recognition to

include the additional test standards,

listed below, subject to the limitations

and conditions listed below. Pursuant to

the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA

hereby expands the recognition of TUV,

subject to these limitations and

conditions.

Limitations

OSHA hereby expands the recognition

of TUV for testing and certification of

products to demonstrate conformance to

the 119 additional test standards listed

below. OSHA has determined that each

test standard meets the requirements for

an appropriate test standard, within the

meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c).

The Agency’s recognition of TUV, or

any NRTL, for a particular test standard

is always limited to equipment or

materials (products) for which OSHA

standards require third party testing and

certification before use in the

workplace. As a result, OSHA’s

recognition of an NRTL for a test

standard excludes any product(s),

falling within the scope of the test

standard, for which OSHA has no such

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

The Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives

notice of the renewal of recognition of

Wyle Laboratories, Inc. (Wyle), as a

Nationally Recognized Testing

Laboratory (NRTL). Wyle’s renewal

covers its existing scope of recognition.

OSHA recognition of an NRTL

signifies that the organization has met

the legal 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 its scope of recognition

and is not a delegation or grant of

government authority. As a result of

recognition, OSHA can accept products

‘‘properly certified’’ by the NRTL.

OSHA processes applications related to

an NRTL’s recognition following

requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR

1910.7. This appendix requires that the

Agency publish this public notice of its

final decision on an application.

When Wyle received recognition as an

NRTL, it was part of Wyle Laboratories,

a publicly-held corporation first

established in 1949. In 1995, Wyle

informed OSHA (see Exhibit 13) that it

had become a ‘‘privately held company

incorporated in the State of Delaware.’’

The ‘‘new’’ company name was also

‘‘Wyle Laboratories.’’ In 1997, the NRTL

informed OSHA of the sale of its

‘‘Electronic Enclosures Division’’ and

requested that OSHA remove a

condition that the Agency had imposed

in the notice of Wyle’s initial

recognition. The condition had

excluded from the recognition any

testing and certification of an

‘‘enclosure cabinet manufactured or

distributed by Wyle.’’ OSHA granted

this request on January 16, 1998 (63 FR

2700).

Wyle received its recognition as an

NRTL on July 22, 1994 (59 FR 37509),

for a period of five years ending July 24,

1999. Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7

stipulates that the period of recognition

of an NRTL is five years and that an

NRTL may renew its recognition by

applying not less than nine months, nor

more than one year, before the

expiration date of its current

recognition. Wyle applied for a renewal

of its recognition on August 19, 1998

(see Exhibit 15), within the time

allotted, and retains its recognition

pending OSHA’s final decision in this

renewal process.

In its letter of August 19, Wyle

requested renewal for its existing scope

of recognition, which includes the

facility listed below, 122 test standards,

and 8 supplemental programs. However,

some of the test standards for which

Wyle is currently recognized have been

withdrawn by the standards developing

organization. These standards are UL

465, UL 547, UL 1025, UL 1096, and UL

1624. As appropriate, OSHA has

eliminated or replaced these test

standards in the list included in the

preliminary notice and in the list shown

below.

OSHA published the required notice

in the Federal Register (65 FR 11804,

03/06/2000) to announce Wyle’s

renewal request. The notice included a

preliminary finding that Wyle could

meet the requirements for expansion of

its recognition, subject to the condition

mentioned above, and OSHA invited

public comment on the application by

May 5, 2000. OSHA received no

comments concerning this application.

In processing Wyle’s request, OSHA

performed an on-site assessment

(review) of Wyle’s facility in Huntsville,

Alabama, on August 3–5, 1999. In the
