SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that 

LabTest Certification Inc. (LCI), is 

applying for expansion of the current 

recognition as a NRTL. LCI requests the 

addition of nine 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 

a NRTL for initial recognition and for an 

expansion or renewal of this 

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 a preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the agency 

provides a 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 LCI, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

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

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

LCI currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with the headquarters 

located at: LabTest Certification, Inc., 

205—8291 92 Street, Delta, BC Canada 

V4G 0A4. A complete list of LCI’s scope 

of recognition is available at https://

www.osha.gov/nationally-recognizedtesting-laboratory-program/lci. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

LCI submitted an application dated 

March 8, 2022 (OSHA–2021–0005– 

0003), requesting the addition of ten test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices 83973 

recognition. That application was 

updated on June 26, 2023 (OSHA–2021– 

0005–0004), to remove one standard 

from the original submission. This 

expansion will cover the remaining nine 

standards. 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. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standards found in LCI’s application 

for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program.

UL 48 .............................................. Electric Signs. 

UL 508 ............................................ Electric Industrial Control Equipment. 

UL 508A .......................................... Industrial Control Panels. 

UL 61010–1 .................................... Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements.

UL 121201 ...................................... Nonincendive Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I and II, Division 2 and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 

Hazardous (Classified) Locations. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

LCI submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files and pertinent 

documentation indicates that LCI can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

these nine test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed in Table 

1. This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of LCI’s application. 

OSHA seeks comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether LCI meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of 

recognition as a NRTL. Comments 

should consist of pertinent written 

documents and exhibits. 

Commenters needing more time to 

comment must submit a request in 

writing, stating the reasons for the 

request by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified. 

To review copies of the exhibits 

identified in this notice, as well as 

comments submitted to the docket, 

contact the Docket Office, Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration, U.S. 

Department of Labor. These materials 

also are generally available online at 

https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2021–0005 (for 

further information, see the ‘‘Docket’’ 

heading in the section of this notice 

titled ADDRESSES). 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, staff will 

make a recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health on whether to grant 

LCI’s application for expansion of the 

scope of recognition. The Assistant 

Secretary will make the final decision 

on granting the application. In making 

this decision, the Assistant Secretary 

may undertake other proceedings 

prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 

1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.
