85250 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

UL submitted an application, dated 

November 29, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025– 

0066), to expand recognition as a NRTL 

to include one additional test site 

located at: Uiwang (LAB), Obongsandan 

1-Ro, 42, Uiwang-Si, Gyeonggi-Do 

Uiwang 16079, South Korea. OSHA staff 

performed an on-site review of UL’s 

testing facilities at UL Uiwang on May 

8–9, 2024, in which assessors found 

some nonconformances with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. UL has 

addressed these issues sufficiently, and 

OSHA staff has preliminarily 

determined that OSHA should grant the 

application. 

III. Preliminary Finding on the 

Application 

UL submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of its scope of 

recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file and pertinent 

documentation preliminarily indicates 

that UL can meet the requirements 

prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expanding its recognition to include one 

additional test site for NRTL testing and 

certification. This preliminary finding 

does not constitute an interim or 

temporary approval of UL’s application. 

OSHA seeks public comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether UL 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 exhibit 

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–2009–0025 (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 

UL’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.

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 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 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 CSA, 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. 

CSA submitted an application to 

OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope 

of recognition on May 3, 2024 (OSHA– 

2006–0042–0042), 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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices 85251 

perform an on-site review in response to 

this application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing CSA’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

September 12, 2024 (89 FR 74297). The 

agency requested comments by 

September 27, 2024, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this final 

grant of expansion of CSA’s NRTL 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

CSA’s application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2006–0042 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning CSA’s recognition. Contact 

the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693– 

2350 (TTY (877) 889–5627) for 

assistance in locating docket 

submissions. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined CSA’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 CSA 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 CSA’s expanded scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of CSA’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standard listed below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN CSA’S NRTL 

SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 347A ........... Medium Voltage Power 

Conversion Equipment. 

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. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, we may use the 

designation of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation. Under the 

NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA 

Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, 

paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized 

for a particular test standard may use 

either the proprietary version of the test 

standard or the ANSI version of that 

standard. Contact ANSI to determine 

whether a test standard is currently 

ANSI-approved. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, CSA 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. CSA 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. CSA must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. CSA must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

CSA’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 CSA as a NRTL, subject 

to the limitations and conditions 

specified above. 

III. Authority and Signature 

James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, authorized the
