violations of the requirements of the 

City’s National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (‘‘NPDES’’) permit 

and violations of an administrative 

order with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’). The proposed Consent

injunctive relief measures to ensure 

future compliance, and require the City 

to pay a penalty of $400,0000.

SGS North America, 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 SGS North 

America, Inc., as a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

January 22, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) as a 

NRTL. SGS’s expansion covers the 

addition of six test sites and one test 

standard 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 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 SGS, 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. 

SGS submitted five applications to 

OSHA to expand recognition as a NRTL. 

The first application was received on 

March 20, 2022 (OSHA–2006–0040– 

0084), requesting the addition of one 

test site in Brussels, Belgium. This 

application was revised on January 9, 

2024 (OSHA–2006–0040–0089) to 

update the address on the original 

application. The second expansion 

application was received on March 29, 

2022 (OSHA–2006–0040–0085), 

requesting the addition of one test site 

in Yokohama, Japan. This application 

was revised on May 9, 2024 (OSHA– 

2006–0040–0091) requesting an 

additional test standard in addition to 

the Yokohama site. The third expansion 

application was received on March 30, 

2022 (OSHA–2006–0040–0086), 

requesting the addition of one test site 

in Munich, Germany. This application 

was revised on January 9, 2024 (OSHA– 

2006–0040–0090) to update the address 

on the application to Puchheim, 

Germany. The fourth (OSHA–2006– 

0040–0087) and fifth (OSHA–2006– 

0040–0088) applications were received 

on April 1, 2022, requesting the 

addition of two test sites in New Taipei 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
7710 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 13 / Wednesday, January 22, 2025 / Notices 

City, Taiwan and one in Gunpo-si, 

Gyeonggi-do, Korea. In total, the 

applications requested the addition of 

six sites and one test standard to the 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of the application packets and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OTPCA staff also performed on-site 

reviews of SGS’s Korea site on April 25 

and May 7, 2024; SGS’s two Taiwan 

sites on February 29–March 1, 2024; 

SGS’s Germany site on June 15–16, 

2023; SGS’s Belgium site on June 15–16, 

2023; and SGS’s Japan on May 9–10, 

2024, in which the assessors found 

some nonconformances with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. SGS 

addressed these issues sufficiently and 

OTPCA has preliminarily determined 

that OSHA should grant the application 

requests to add these six test sites and 

one test standard to SGS’s NRTL scope 

of recognition. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing SGS’s expansion 

applications in the Federal Register on 

November 5, 2024 (89 FR 87895). The 

agency requested comments by 

November 20, 2024, however no 

comments were received in response to 

this notice. OSHA is now proceeding 

with this notice to grant expansion to 

SGS’s scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the SGS 

expansion applications, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2006–0040 contains all materials in the 

record containing SGS’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined SGS’s 

expansion applications, conducted 

detailed on-site assessments, and 

examined other pertinent information. 

Based on review of this evidence, OSHA 

finds that SGS 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 SGS’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of SGS’s recognition to include the sites 

listed below:

Table 2 lists the one test standard 

included in SGS’s applications for 

expansion for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program. 

TABLE 2—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN SGS’S NRTL 

SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

ASME A17.5 .. Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment. 

OSHA’s recognition of the sites listed 

in table 1 above, limits SGS 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 SGS’s scope of recognition. 

This limitation is consistent with the 

recognition that OSHA grants to other 

NRTLs that operate multiple sites. 

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 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, SGS 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

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

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. SGS must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

SGS’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 SGS as a NRTL, to 

include six recognized testing sites and 

one recognized test standard, subject to 

the limitations and conditions specified 

above.
