[Docket No. OSHA–2007–0039] 

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.: 

Grant of Expansion of Recognition 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA 

announces the final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for Intertek 

Testing Services NA, Inc., (ITSNA) as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on April 

24, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Information regarding this notice is 

available from the following sources: 

Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank 

Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of 

Communications, U.S. Department of 

Labor; telephone (202) 693–1999 or 

email meilinger.francis2@dol.gov. 

General and technical information: 

Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director, 

Office of Technical Programs and 

Coordination Activities, Directorate of 

Technical Support and Emergency 

Management, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor; telephone (202) 693–1911 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the 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 four 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 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 February 15, 2021 (OSHA–2007– 

0039–0055), requesting the addition of 

four 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 ITSNA’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

March 27, 2024 (89 FR 21284). The 

agency requested comments by April 11, 

2024, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

ITSNA 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–2007–0039 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning ITSNA’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 ITSNA’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 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

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 2024 / Notices 31221 

of ITSNA’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed below in Table 1. 

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

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 1973 .......................................... Batteries for Use in Stationary, Vehicle Auxiliary Power and Light Electric Rail (LER) Applications. 

UL 2271 .......................................... Batteries for Use in Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) Applications. 

UL 2524 .......................................... In-Building 2-Way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement Systems. 

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

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 01–00–004, Chapter 2, 

Section VIII), 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, 

ITSNA must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

1. ITSNA 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. ITSNA must meet all the terms of 

its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. ITSNA must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

ITSNA’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 ITSNA 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 

preparation of this notice. Accordingly, 

the agency is issuing this notice 

pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2), 

Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 8–2020 

(85 FR 58393, Sept. 18, 2020), and 29

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, the collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

that OSHA obtain such information 

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small
