index.html). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRTL Program recognizes 

organizations that provide productsafety 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 A test standard withdrawn 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withdrawn test standards by issuing a 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withdrawn test standards (Id.).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withdrawn standards.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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
62822 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2023 / Notices 

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

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://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Many of OSHA’s workplace standards 

require that a NRTL test and certify 

certain types of equipment as safe for 

use in the workplace. NRTLs are 

independent laboratories that meet 

OSHA’s requirements for performing 

safety testing and certification of 

products used in the workplace. To 

obtain and retain OSHA recognition, the 

NRTLs must meet the requirements in 

the NRTL Program regulations at 29 CFR 

1910.7. More specifically, to be 

recognized by OSHA, an organization 

must: (1) have the appropriate capability 

to test, evaluate, and approve products 

to assure their safe use in the workplace; 

(2) be completely independent of 

employers subject to the tested 

equipment requirements, and 

manufacturers and vendors of products 

for which OSHA requires certification; 

(3) have internal programs that ensure 

proper control of the testing and 

certification process; and (4) have 

effective reporting and complaint 

handling procedures. Recognition is an 

acknowledgement by OSHA that the 

NRTL has the capabilities to perform 

independent safety testing and 

certification of the specific products 

covered within the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition and is not a delegation or 

grant of government authority. 

Recognition of a NRTL by OSHA also 

allows employers to use products 

certified by that NRTL to meet those 

OSHA standards that require product 

testing and certification.
