final decision to add two test standards 

to the NRTL Program’s list of 

appropriate test standards. 

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 

TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM) as a 

NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the 

addition of eight test standards to the 

NRTL scope of recognition, two of 

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 TUVAM, 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. 

TUVAM submitted an application, 

dated May 26, 2021, to expand their 

recognition as a NRTL to include eight 

additional test standards (OSHA–2007– 

0043–0038). 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 TUVAM’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

February 18, 2022 (87 FR 9387). The 

agency requested comments by March 7, 

2022, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of TUVAM’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 

TUVAM’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–2007–0043 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning TUVAM’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 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 limitations and conditions 

listed in this notice. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant TUVAM’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’s 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

below in Table 1.

In this notice, OSHA also announces 

the final decision to add two new test 

standards to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 

below lists the standards that are new to 

the NRTL Program. OSHA has 

determined that these test standards are 

appropriate test standards and will add 

them to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. 

TABLE 2—STANDARDS OSHA IS ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS

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, 

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 a 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 

limitations and conditions specified 

above. OSHA also adds two standards to 

the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards.
