Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA

General and technical information: 

Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director, 

Office of Technical Programs and

Technical Support and Emergency 

Management, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor; telephone: (202) 693–2300;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. 

(TUVRNA), as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s 

expansion covers the addition of three 

test standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements specified in 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. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

The agency processes applications by 

NRTLs or applicant organizations for 

initial recognition, as well as for 

expansion or renewal of recognition, 

following requirements in Appendix A 

to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix 

requires that the agency publish two 

notices in the Federal Register in 

processing an application. In the first 

notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides the 

preliminary finding. In the second 

notice, the agency provides the final 

decision on the application. These 

notices set forth the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition or modifications of that 

scope. OSHA maintains an 

informational web page for each NRTL, 

including TUVRNA, which details that 

NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

TUVRNA submitted an application, 

dated October 17, 2022 (OSHA–2007– 

0042–0066), to expand recognition to 

include the addition of three test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of the application 

packet and reviewed other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform any 

on-site reviews in relation to this 

application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVRNA’s 

expansion applications in the Federal 

Register on July 19, 2023 (88 FR 46188). 

The agency requested comments by 

August 3, 2023, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA now is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of TUVRNA’s 

scope of recognition. 

To review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to TUVRNA’s 

application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor at (202) 693–2350. Docket No. 

OSHA–2007–0042 contains all materials 

in the record concerning TUVRNA’s 

recognition. All submissions, including 

copyrighted material, are available for 

inspection through the OSHA Docket 

Office. Contact the OSHA Docket Office 

at (202) 693–2350 for assistance in 

locating docket submissions. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s 

expansion application, their capability 

to meet the requirements of the test 

standard, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that TUVRNA 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitations and conditions 

listed below. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant TUVRNA’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of 

TUVRNA’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards shown below in Table 1.

In this notice, OSHA also announces 

the final decision to add one new test 

standard to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2, 

below, lists the standard that is new to 

the NRTL Program. OSHA has 

determined that this test standard is an

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for 

a particular test standard is limited to 

equipment or materials for which OSHA 

standards require third-party testing and 

certification before using them in the 

workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any products for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope 

of recognition does not include these 

products. 

A. Conditions 

Recognition is contingent on 

continued compliance with 29 CFR 

1910.7, including but not limited to, 

abiding by the following conditions of 

recognition: 

1. TUVRNA must inform OSHA as 

soon as possible, in writing, of any 

change of ownership, facilities, or key 

personnel, and of any major change in 

its operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. TUVRNA must meet all the terms 

of its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVRNA must continue to meet 

the requirements for recognition, 

including all previously published 

conditions on TUVRNA’s scope of 

recognition, in all areas for which it has 

recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope 

of recognition of TUVRNA as a NRTL, 

subject to the limitations and conditions 

specified above. OSHA additionally 

adds one test standard to the NRTL 

Program’s List of Appropriate Test 

Standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

CSA Group Testing & Certification, Inc. 

(CSA) as a NRTL. CSA’s expansion 

covers the addition of sixteen test sites 

to its NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements specified in 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. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

The agency processes applications by 

a NRTL for initial recognition, as well 

as for an expansion or renewal of 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This 

appendix requires that the agency 

publish two notices in the Federal 

Register in processing an application. In 

the first notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides the 

preliminary finding. In the second 

notice, the agency provides the final

notices set forth the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition or modifications of that 

scope. OSHA maintains an

including CSA, which details that 

NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/

CSA submitted an application, dated 

December 15, 2020 (OSHA–2006–0042–
