20662 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 80 / Monday, April 27, 1998 / Notices

Control Procedures

Section 1910.7(b)(2) requires that the

NRTL provide certain controls and

services, to the extent necessary, for the

particular equipment or material to be

listed, labeled, or accepted. These

consist of implementation of control

procedures for identifying the listed or

labeled equipment or materials,

inspecting the production runs at

factories to assure conformance with

test standards, and conducting field

inspections to monitor and assure the

proper use of identifying marks or

labels. The application and on-site

review report indicate that DTL meets

these criteria.

The application contains the

description of the listing and labeling

procedure, and indicates ‘‘inspections’’

will be done four times per year and

periodic compliance testing is done

every four years. A sample listing and

follow-up agreement was also provided.

In addition, ‘‘Instructions for * * *

Inspections * * *,’’ and a sample

inspection form were submitted.

Independence

Section 1910.7(b)(3) requires that the

NRTL be completely independent of

employers subject to the tested

equipment requirements, and for any

manufacturers or vendors of equipment

or materials being tested for these

purposes. The application and on-site

review report indicate that DTL meets

these criteria.

A statement of independence was

supplied attesting that DTL is

independent of any producer, supplier,

or vendor. The applicant claims in the

statement that, for products being tested

and certified: It has no managerial

affiliations with any producer, supplier,

or vendor; it has no securities,

investments, or stock options in the

product lines; the employment security

of its personnel is free from influence by

any producer, supplier, or vendor; that

it is not owned, operated, or controlled

by any producers, suppliers, or vendors;

and that it is not engaged in promotion

or design.

Creditable Reports/Complaint Handling

Section 1910.7(b)(4) provides that the

NRTL must maintain effective

procedures for producing creditable

findings and reports that are objective

and without bias, as well as for handling

complaints and disputes under a fair

and reasonable system. The application

and on-site review report indicate that

DTL meets these criteria.

The QA Manual contains details on

development of test data and reports,

and both the application and the QA

Manual describe a complaint procedure.

Standards

After publication of the notice of the

application and preliminary finding,

DTL informed OSHA that one of the

standards it had requested for

recognition, ANSI/UL 1025 Electric Air

Heaters, had been withdrawn by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), the

organization that developed this test

standard. DTL subsequently requested

recognition for the two standards which

replaced ANSI/UL 1025, in a letter

dated January 6, 1998.

Inasmuch as the original standard was

withdrawn by UL prior to the

publication of the application, the

notice was in error and OSHA is

granting the request to correct the error.

Also, OSHA believes that the two new

standards are substantially equivalent to

the standard withdrawn, and that DTL

has the necessary capability to test and

certify to those standards.

Final Decision and Order

Based upon a preponderance of the

evidence resulting from an examination

of the complete application, the

supporting documentation, and the

OSHA staff finding including On-Site

Review Report, dated June 25, 1997 (see

Exhibit 3), OSHA finds that Detroit

Testing Laboratory, Inc. has met the

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 to be

recognized by OSHA as a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory to test

and certify certain equipment or

materials. Pursuant to the authority in

29 CFR 1910.7, Detroit Testing

Laboratory, Inc. is hereby recognized as

a Nationally Recognized Testing

Laboratory, subject to the limitations

and conditions listed below.

Limitations

This recognition is limited to

equipment or materials which, under

Title 29, require or permit testing,

listing, labeling, approval, acceptance,

or certification, by a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory. This

recognition is further limited to the use

of the following test standards for the

testing and certification of equipment or

materials included within the scope of

these standards.

DTL asserts by its application that the

following standards pertain to

equipment or materials that will be used

in environments under OSHA’s

jurisdiction, and OSHA has determined

they are appropriate within the meaning

of 29 CFR 1910.7(c):

ANSI/UL 234 Low Voltage Lighting

Fixtures for Use in Recreational

Vehicles

ANSI/UL 1278 Standard for Safety for

Movable and Wall- or Ceiling-Hung

Electric Room Heaters

UL 2021 Fixed and Location-Dedicated

Electric Room Heaters

Conditions

Detroit Testing Laboratory, Inc. must

also abide by the following conditions

of the recognition, in addition to those

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7:

OSHA shall be allowed access to

DTL’s facility and records for purposes

of ascertaining continuing compliance

with the terms of its recognition and to

investigate as OSHA deems necessary;

If DTL has reason to doubt the

efficacy of any test standard it is using

under this program, it shall promptly

inform the test standard developing

organization of this fact and provide

that organization with appropriate

relevant information upon which its

concerns are based;

DTL shall not engage in or permit

others to engage in any

misrepresentation of the scope or

conditions of its recognition. As part of

this condition, DTL agrees that it will

allow no representation that it is either

a recognized or an accredited Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)

without clearly indicating the specific

equipment or material to which this

recognition is tied, or that its

recognition is limited to certain

products;

DTL shall inform OSHA as soon as

possible, in writing, of any change of

ownership or key personnel, including

details;

DTL will continue to meet the

requirements for recognition in all areas

where it has been recognized; and

DTL will always cooperate with

OSHA to assure compliance with the

spirit as well as the letter of its

recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 22nd day

of April, 1998.
