SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition 

for Labtest Certification Inc. (LCI). LCI’s 

expansion covers 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: https://

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

LCI submitted an application dated 

March 8, 2022 (OSHA–2021–0005– 

0005), requesting the addition of ten test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. That application was 

updated on June 26, 2023 (OSHA–2021– 

0005–0006), 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. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing LCI’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

December 1, 2023 (88 FR 83972). The 

agency requested comments by 

December 18, 2023, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of LCI’s NRTL 

scope of recognition. 

To review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to LCI’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–2021–0005 contains all materials 

in the record concerning LCI’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 LCI’s expansion 

application, its capability to meet the 

requirements of the test standards, and 

other pertinent information. Based on 

its review of this evidence, OSHA finds 

that LCI meets the requirements of 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

recognition, subject to the limitations 

and conditions. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant LCI’s expanded scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of LCI’s recognition to include the 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards shown below in Table 1.

UL 121201 ..... Nonincendive Electrical 

Equipment for Use in 

Class I and II, Division 2 

and Class III, Divisions 1 

and 2 Hazardous (Classified) Locations. 

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. LCI 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. LCI must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. LCI must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

LCI’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 LCI as a NRTL, subject 

to the limitations and conditions 

specified above.

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, 200 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 

(ITSNA) as a NRTL. ITSNA’s expansion 

covers the addition of one test standard 

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 an application 

by a NRTL for initial recognition and for 

an expansion or renewal of this 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A, 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 ITSNA, 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. 

ITSNA submitted an application 

dated April 5, 2023 (OSHA–2007–0039– 

0051), requesting the addition of one 

test standard 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 ITSNA’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

December 18, 2023 (88 FR 87460). The 

agency requested comments by January 

2, 2024, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final grant of 

expansion of ITSNA’s NRTL 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

ITSNA applications, go to https://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0039 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning ITSNA’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 ITSNA’s 

expansion application, its capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standard, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that ITSNA meets 

the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of its recognition, subject to 

the limitations and conditions listed in 

this notice. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant ITSNA’s expanded scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of ITSNA’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standard listed below in table 1.
