Recognition and Modification to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards 

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 UL LLC as 

a Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA 

announces the final decision to add one 

test standard to the NRTL Program’s list 

of appropriate test standards. 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

January 12, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

UL LLC (UL) as a NRTL. UL’s expansion 

covers the addition of one test standard 

to the NRTL scope of recognition, which 

OSHA will add to the NRTL Program’s 

List of Appropriate Test Standards. 

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 

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 

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 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 UL, 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. 

UL submitted an application, dated 

October 4, 2020 (OSHA–2009–0025– 

0037) to add one additional test 

standard to UL’s NRTL 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 UL’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

August 24, 2021 (86 FR 47333). The 

agency requested comments by 

September 8, 2021, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of UL’s scope 

of recognition and modification to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to UL’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–2009–0025 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning UL’s recognition. Please 

note: Due to the COVID–19 pandemic, 

the Docket Office is closed to the public 

at this time but can be contacted at (202) 

693–2350, TTY (877) 889–5627. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined UL’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 UL 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 UL’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of UL’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standard listed below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN UL’S

NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 2580 * ....... Standard for Safety Batteries 

for Use in Electric Vehicles. 

* Represents the standard that OSHA is 

adding to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Notices 1791 

In this notice, OSHA also announces 

the final decision to add one new test 

standard to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 

below lists the standard that is new to 

the NRTL Program. OSHA has 

determined that this test standard is an 

appropriate test standard and will add 

it to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. 

TABLE 2—STANDARD OSHA IS ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST

OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 2580 ......... Standard for Safety Batteries 

for Use in Electric Vehicles. 

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 

standard listed above as an American 

National Standard. However, for 

convenience, OSHA 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), only standards determined 

to be appropriate test standards may be 

approved for NRTL recognition. Any 

NRTL recognized for an appropriate 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, UL 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

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

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; and 

3. UL must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including all 

previously published conditions on UL’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 UL, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above. OSHA also adds one new test 

standard to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards.
