NRTL’s scope of recognition or 

modifications of that scope. OSHA 

maintains an informational web page for 

each NRTL, including CSA, 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. 

CSA submitted an application to 

OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope 

of recognition on May 30, 2024 (OSHA– 

2006–0042–0045), requesting the 

addition of one standard 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 an on-site review in response to 

this application. OSHA staff has 

preliminarily determined that OSHA 

should grant the application for test 

standard expansion. 

OSHA published a Federal Register 

notice announcing CSA’s application, 

preliminarily determining that OSHA 

should grant the application and 

soliciting public comment on December 

31, 2024 (89 FR 107167). The agency 

requested comments by January 15, 

2025, however no comments were 

received in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this 

expansion of CSA’s NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the CSA 

expansion application, go to 

www.regulations/gov or contact the 

Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2006–0042 contains all materials in the 

record containing CSA’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined CSA’s 

expansion application and examined 

other pertinent information. Based on 

review of this evidence, OSHA finds 

that CSA meets the requirements of 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expansion of 

recognition, subject to the specified 

limitations and conditions. OSHA, 

therefore, is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of CSA’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of CSA’s recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of compliance to the test 

standard listed below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN CSA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 60335–2–40 ..... Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2–40: Particular Requirements for Electrical Heat Pumps, AirConditioners and Dehumidifiers. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, CSA 

also must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

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

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. CSA must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

CSA’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 CSA as a NRTL, subject 

to the limitations and conditions 

specified above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. 

(TUVRNA) as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s 

expansion covers the addition of one 

test site 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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
8054 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 14 / Thursday, January 23, 2025 / Notices 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

The agency processes applications by 

a NRTL for initial recognition, as well 

as for an expansion or renewal of 

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. 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 TUVRNA, which details that 

NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

TUVRNA submitted an application, 

dated November 16, 2020 (OSHA–2007– 

0042–0081), to expand recognition as a 

NRTL to include one additional testing 

site located at: TUV Rheinland Taiwan 

Ltd. Taoyuan Testing Laboratories, 4F– 

1. No. 38, Huaya 1st Road Guishan 

District, Taoyuan City 333, Taiwan, 

R.O.C. OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of the application packet and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OSHA performed an on-site review of 

TUVRNA’s Taoyuan facility on May 1– 

6, 2024, in which assessors found some 

nonconformances with the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7. TUVRNA has 

addressed these issues sufficiently, and 

OSHA staff preliminarily determined 

that OSHA should grant the application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVRNA’s 

expansion application in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2024 (89 FR 

106603). The agency requested 

comments by January 14, 2025, however 

no comments were received in response 

to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding 

with this notice to grant expansion of 

TUVRNA’s NRTL scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the 

TUVRNA expansion application, go to 

www.regulations/gov or contact the 

Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2007–0042 contains all materials in the 

record containing TUVRNA’s 

recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s 

expansion application, conducted a 

detailed on-site assessment, and 

examined other pertinent information. 

Based on review of this evidence, OSHA 

finds that TUVRNA meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of recognition, subject to the 

specified limitations and conditions. 

OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with 

this final notice to grant TUVRNA’s 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of TUVRNA’s recognition to 

include the site at Taoyuan, Taiwan 

listed above. OSHA’s recognition of the 

site limits TUVRNA to performing 

product testing and certifications only 

to the test standards for which the site 

has the proper capability and programs, 

and for test standards in TUVRNA’s 

scope of recognition. This limitation is 

consistent with the recognition that 

OSHA grants to other NRTLs that 

operate multiple sites. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, 

TUVRNA also must abide by the 

following conditions of the recognition: 

1. TUVRNA 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. TUVRNA must meet all the terms 

of its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVRNA must continue to meet 

the requirements for recognition, 

including all previously published 

conditions on TUVRNA’s scope of 

recognition, in all areas for which it has 

recognition. 

OSHA hereby expands the NRTL 

scope of recognition for TUVRNA to 

include one additional test site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

DEKRA Certification Inc. (DEKRA), as a 

NRTL. DEKRA’s expansion covers the 

addition of 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.
