SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition 

for Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 

(ITSNA), as a NRTL. ITSNA’s expansion 

covers the addition of two test standards 

to the NRTL scope of recognition. 

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. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes: (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard; and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

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 a 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 ITSNA, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

ITSNA submitted an application 

dated June 24, 2024 (OSHA–2007– 

0039–0058), requesting the addition of 

two test standards to the NRTL scope of 

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 ITSNA’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

November 6, 2024 (89 FR 88064). The 

agency requested comments by 

November 21, 2024, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this 

notice to grant expansion of ITSNA’s 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

ITSNA expansion application, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2007–0039 contains all materials in the 

record containing ITSNA’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined ITSNA’s 

expansion application and examined 

other pertinent information. OSHA did 

not conduct an on-site assessment in 

relation to this application. Based on 

review of this evidence, OSHA finds 

that ITSNA meets the requirements of 

29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of 

recognition, subject to the specified 

limitations and conditions listed in this 

notice. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding 

with this final notice to grant ITSNA’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of ITSNA’s recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed below in Table 1. 

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

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 60335–2–89 .................................................. Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2–89: Particular Requirements for 

Commercial Refrigerating Appliances with an Incorporated or Remote Refrigerant Unit or 

Compressor. 

UL 60335–2–24 .................................................. Safety Requirements for Household and Similar Electrical Appliances, Part 2: Refrigerating Appliances, Ice-Cream Appliances, and Ice-Makers. 

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. 

A. Conditions 

Recognition is contingent on 

continued compliance with 29 CFR 

1910.7, including, but not limited to, 

abiding by the following conditions of 

the recognition: 

1. ITSNA 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. ITSNA must meet all the terms of 

its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices 106601 

3. ITSNA must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

ITSNA’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 ITSNA as a NRTL, 

subject to the limitations and conditions 

specified above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that 

DEKRA Certification Inc. (DEKRA), is 

applying for expansion of the current 

recognition as a NRTL. DEKRA requests 

the addition six test standards to the 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA’s 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. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes: (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard; and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

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 a 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 DEKRA, 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. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

DEKRA submitted an application to 

OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope 

of recognition on January 5, 2023 

(OSHA–2019–0009–0013), requesting 

the addition of six recognized testing 

standards. OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of the application 

packets and reviewed other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform an 

on-site review associated with this 

application. OSHA staff has 

preliminarily determined that OSHA 

should grant the application. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standards found in DEKRA’s 

application for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program.
