III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

announces its final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for TU ̈ V SU ̈ D 

America, Inc., as a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

TU ̈ V SU ̈ D America, Inc. (TUVAM), as 

an NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers 

the addition of one test standard to its 

scope of recognition. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization meets the 

requirements specified by 29 CFR 

1910.7. Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within its scope of recognition, 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification of the 

products. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition, or for 

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 its preliminary 

finding and, in the second notice, the 

Agency provides its 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 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 18, 2015 / Notices 8699 

for each NRTL that details its scope of 

recognition. These pages are available 

from the Agency’s Web site at http://

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/

index.html. 

TUVAM submitted an application, 

dated June 9, 2014 (OSHA–2007–0043– 

0009, Exhibit 14–1—TUVAM Request 

for Expansion), to expand its 

recognition to include one additional 

test standard. OSHA staff performed a 

comparability analysis and reviewed 

other pertinent information. OSHA did 

not perform any on-site reviews in 

relation to this application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

October 3, 2014 (79 FR 59863). The 

Agency requested comments by October 

20, 2014, but it received no comments 

in response to this notice. OSHA now is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of TUVAM’s scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to 

TUVAM’s application, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210. 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0043 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

TUVAM’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVAM’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 TUVAM 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitation and conditions 

listed below. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant TUVAM’s scope of recognition 

expansion. OSHA limits the expansion 

of TUVAM’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standard listed in Table 1 below. 

TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN TUVAM’S

NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

ANSI/AAMI 

ES60601– 

1:2005/

(R)2012.

Medical electrical equipment, 

Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and 

essential performance 

(with amendments). 

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, an NRTL’s 

scope of recognition does not include 

these products. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standard listed above as an American 

National Standard. 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, 

TUVAM must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

1. TUVAM 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 an NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of 

its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVAM must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

TUVAM’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 TUVAM, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.

Occupational Safety and Health, 200
