TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN TUVRNA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 2743 ................. Portable Power Packs. 

UL 60320–1 ........... Appliance Couplers for Household and Similar General Purposes—Part 1: General Requirements. 

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. 

OSHA hereby expands the scope of 

recognition of TUVRNA, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that Bureau 

Veritas Consumer Product Services Inc. 

(BVCPS), is applying for expansion of 

the current recognition as a NRTL. 

BVCPS requests the addition of seven 

test standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA’s 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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2024 / Notices 74301 

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 BVCPS 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. 

BVCPS currently has three facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with the 

headquarters located at: Bureau Veritas 

Consumer Product Services Inc., One 

Distribution Center, Suite #1, Littleton, 

Massachusetts 01460. A complete list of 

BVCPS’s scope of recognition is 

available at https://www.osha.gov/ 

nationally-recognized-testinglaboratory-program/csl. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

BVCPS submitted an application to 

OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope 

of recognition on November 2, 2023 

(OSHA–2009–0026–0089), requesting 

the addition of seven 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 an on-site review related to this 

application. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standards found in BVCPS’s 

application for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

BVCPS submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files and pertinent 

documentation indicates that BVCPS 

has met the requirements prescribed by 

29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

the seven test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed in Table 

1. This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of BVCPS’s application. 

OSHA seeks comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether BVCPS 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–2009–0026 (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 

BVCPS’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.
