SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These 
organizations perform testing and certification for purposes of the 
program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. The 
products covered by the NRTL Program consist of those items for which 
OSHA safety standards require ``certification'' by a NRTL. The 
requirements affect electrical products and 36 other types of products. 
OSHA does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally 
relies on standards development organizations (SDOs), which develop and 
maintain the standards using a method that provides for input and 
consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers, 
governmental authorities, and others having broad experience in the 
safety field involved.

A. Deletion and Replacement of Test Standards

    The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test 
standards be maintained and current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard 
withdrawn by an SDO is no longer considered an appropriate test 
standard (CPL 01-00-004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures and 
Guidelines Directive (NRTL Program Directive), Ch. 2.IX.C.1). It is 
OSHA's policy to remove recognition of withdrawn test standards by 
issuing a correction notice in the Federal Register for all NRTLs 
recognized for the withdrawn test standards (Id.). However, SDOs 
frequently will designate a replacement standard for withdrawn 
standards. OSHA will recognize a NRTL for an appropriate replacement 
test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and evaluation 
capability for the replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive, 
Ch. 2.IX.C.2).
    One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an 
analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements 
of existing test standards in a NRTL's scope are comparable (i.e., are 
completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the 
replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.C.3). If 
OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard does not require 
additional or different technical capability than an existing test 
standard(s), and the replacement test standard is comparable to the 
existing test standard(s), then OSHA can add the replacement test 
standard to affected NRTLs' scope of recognition. If OSHA's analysis 
shows the replacement test standard requires an additional or different 
technical capability, or the replacement test standard is not 
comparable to any existing test standards, each affected NRTL seeking 
to have OSHA add the replacement test standard to the NRTL's scope of 
recognition must provide information to OSHA that demonstrates 
technical capability (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.D).

B. Other Reasons for Removal of Test Standards From the NRTL List of 
Appropriate Test Standards

    OSHA may choose to remove a test standard from the NRTL list of 
appropriate test standards based on an internal review in which NRTL 
Program staff review the NRTL list of appropriate test standards to 
determine if the test standards conform to the definition of an 
appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and 
policy. There are several reasons for removing a test standard based on 
this review. First, a document that provides the methodology for a 
single test is a test method rather than an appropriate test standard 
(29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard must specify the safety 
requirements for a specific type of product(s) (NRTL Program Directive, 
Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). A test method, however, is a specified technical 
procedure for performing a test. As such, a test method is not an 
appropriate test standard. While a NRTL may use a test method to 
determine if certain safety requirements are met, a test method is not 
itself a safety requirement for a specific product category.
    Second, a document that focuses primarily on usage, installation, 
or maintenance requirements, and not

[[Page 62822]]

safety requirements (i.e., features, parts, capabilities, usage 
limitations, or installation requirements that would create a potential 
hazard in operating the equipment if not properly used), would also not 
be considered an appropriate test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 
2.VIII.C.1). In some cases, however, a document may also provide safety 
test specifications in addition to usage, installation, and maintenance 
requirements. In such cases, the document would be retained as an 
appropriate test standard based on the safety test specifications.
    Finally, a document may not be considered an appropriate test 
standard if the document covers products for which OSHA does not 
require testing and certification (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 
2.VIII.C.2). Similarly, a document that covers electrical product 
components would not be considered an appropriate test standard. These 
documents apply to types of components that have limitation(s) or 
condition(s) on their use, which are not appropriate for use as end-use 
products. These documents also specify that these types of components 
are for use only as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however, 
evaluate such components only in the context of evaluating whether end-
use products requiring NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace. 
Accordingly, as a matter of policy, OSHA considers that documents 
covering such components are not appropriate test standards under the 
NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, that it is not proposing to delete 
from NRTLs' scope of recognition any test standards covering end-use 
products that contain such components.
    In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard 
covering an end-use product, a NRTL must still determine that the 
components in the product comply with the components' specific test 
standards. In making this determination, NRTLs may (within the confines 
of the requirements of Annex B, Section 7.4 G and H of the NRTL Program 
Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines, OSHA Instruction CPL 01-00-004 
(Oct. 1, 2019) (the NRTL Program Directive, available at https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/directives/CPL_01-00-004.pdf)) test the components themselves or accept the testing of a 
qualified testing organization that a given component conforms to the 
particular test standard. OSHA reviews each NRTL's procedures to 
determine which approach the NRTL will use to address components and 
reviews the end-use product testing to verify that the NRTL 
appropriately addresses that product's components.

II. Summary of Proposed Actions

    In a July 12, 2023 Federal Register notice (88 FR 44406, referred 
to in this notice as ``Proposed Modification,'' and available at 
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID OSHA-2013-0012-0030), OSHA proposed 
to delete several test standards from the NRTL Program's list of 
appropriate test standards; incorporate two replacement standards into 
the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards; remove deleted 
test standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs; and add 
to the scopes of recognition of some of these NRTLs replacement test 
standards, as applicable. The notice requested public comment on the 
proposal; however, no comments were received in response to the Federal 
Register notice. As will be explained below, OSHA is issuing a final 
decision on these matters as proposed, without modification.

III. Final Decision To Remove Test Standards From the NRTL Program's 
List of Appropriate Test Standards

    In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to delete several 
withdrawn test standards from the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate 
Test Standards. OSHA also announces the final decision to incorporate 
into the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards two 
replacement test standards. These final actions are detailed below in 
Table 1.

IV. Final Decision To Modify Affected NRTLs' Scope of Recognition

    In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to remove test 
standards (those listed in Table 1, above) from the scopes of 
recognition of several NRTLs and to add to the scopes of recognition of 
some of these NRTLs replacement test standards, as applicable. The 
tables in this section (Table 2 through Table 16) list, for each 
affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA is removing from the 
scope of recognition of the NRTL, along with the test standard(s) that 
OSHA will incorporate into the scope of recognition to replace 
withdrawn (and deleted) test standards, as applicable.

    OSHA will place on its informational web pages the modifications to 
each NRTL's scope of recognition. These web pages detail the scope of 
recognition for each NRTL, including the test standards the NRTL may 
use to test and certify products under OSHA's NRTL Program. OSHA also 
will add to the list of ``Appropriate Test Standards'' web page those 
test standards added to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test 
Standards. The agency will add to the ``Standards No Longer 
Recognized'' web page those test standards that OSHA no longer 
recognizes or permits under the NRTL Program. Access to these web pages 
is available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
