MET Laboratories, 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 MET 

Laboratories, Inc., as a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on March 

1, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as a 

NRTL. MET’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 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 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, 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 the 

preliminary finding and, 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 

that details the scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

agency’s website at https://

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

index.html. 

MET submitted four applications, one 

dated January 14, 2019 (OSHA–2006– 

0028–0075), the second dated July 30, 

2019 (OSHA–2006–0028–0076), which 

was amended on July 29, 2020 (OSHA– 

2006–0028–0077). The third and fourth 

applications were received on August 

13, 2019 (OSHA–2006–0028–0078) and 

(OSHA–2006–0028–0079). Together, the 

expansion applications would add four 

additional test standards to MET’s 

NRTL recognition. OSHA staff 

performed a detailed analysis of the 

application packets and reviewed other 

pertinent information. OSHA did not 

perform any on-site reviews in relation 

to the applications. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing MET’s expansion 

applications in the Federal Register on 

January 21, 2022 (87 FR 3353). The 

agency requested comments by February 

7, 2022, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA now is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of MET’s scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to MET’s 

applications, go to https://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, 

Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210. 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0028 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

MET’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. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined MET’s 

expansion applications, the capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
11486 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2022 / Notices 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on the review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that MET meets 

the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of the NRTL scope of 

recognition, subject to the limitation 

and conditions listed below. OSHA, 

therefore, is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant MET’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of MET’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed in Table 1. 

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

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 60079–28 .... Explosive Atmospheres - Part 28: Protection of Equipment and transmission Systems Using Optical Radiation. 

TIA 4950 ........... Requirements for Battery-Powered, Portable Land Mobile Radio Applications in Class I, II, and III, Division 1, Hazardous 

(Classified) Locations. 

UL 551 .............. Transformer Type Arc-Welding Machines. 

UL 1004–1 ........ Rotating Electrical Machines. 

In this notice, OSHA also announces 

its final determination that the current 

version of TIA 4950 (Revision B) 

remains an appropriate test standard 

under the NRTL Program Regulation, at 

29 CFR 1910.7. The preliminary Federal 

Register notice announcing these 

applications (87 FR 3353) requested 

comment on OSHA’s preliminary 

determination that the revisions of May 

2014 (Revision A) and July 2020 

(Revision B) were not substantive in 

nature, and no comments were received 

in response to this preliminary 

determination. With this notice, the 

expansion for MET’s recognition will 

cover the current version of TIA 4950. 

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, the use of the designation 

of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation may occur. 

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 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, MET 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major change in their 

operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. MET must meet all the terms of the 

NRTL recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. MET must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

MET’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 MET, 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
