SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that CSA 

Group Testing & Certification Inc. (CSA) 

is applying for expansion of their 

current recognition as an NRTL. CSA 

requests the addition of seven 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 an application 

by a NRTL for initial recognition and for 

an expansion or renewal of this 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A, 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 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 currently has six facilities (sites) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification. The headquarters 

location is Canadian Standards 

Association, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, 

Etobicoke, Ontario, M9W 1R3, Canada. 

A complete list of CSA’s scope of 

recognition is available at https://

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csa.html.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 119 / Thursday, June 24, 2021 / Notices 33373 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

CSA submitted two applications on 

July 17, 2019 (OSHA–2006–0042–0023) 

and (OSHA–2006–0042–0024), to 

expand their recognition to include 

fifteen additional test standards. The 

first application was amended on 

February 17, 2021, because eight of the 

standards requested in the application 

are already in CSA’s NRTL scope of 

recognition. This expansion will cover 

seven test standards that OSHA is 

proposing to add to CSA’s recognition. 

OSHA staff performed detailed analysis 

of the application packets and reviewed 

other pertinent information. OSHA did 

not perform any on-site reviews in 

relation to these applications. 

Table 1 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in CSA’s 

applications for expansion for testing 

and certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN CSA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

UL 2108 .................................................... Low-Voltage Lighting Systems. 

UL 4703 .................................................... Standard for Photovoltaic Wire.

Using Optical Radiation. 

UL 60079–31 ............................................ Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 31: Equipment Dust Ignition Protection Enclosure ‘‘t’’. 

NFPA 496 ................................................. Purged and Pressurized Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

CSA submitted acceptable 

applications for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files and pertinent 

documentation indicates that CSA can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding their 

recognition to include the addition of 

the seven test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of CSA’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether CSA meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the 

recognition as a NRTL. Comments 

should consist of pertinent written 

documents and exhibits. Commenters 

needing more time to comment must 

submit a request in writing, stating the 

reasons for the request. Commenters 

must submit the written request for an 

extension by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if the request is 

not adequately justified. To obtain or 

review copies of the exhibits identified 

in this notice, as well as comments 

submitted to the docket, contact the 

Docket Office. These materials also are 

available online at http://

www.regulations.gov under Docket No. 

OSHA–2006–0042. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will make a 

recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary for Occupational Safety and 

Health as to whether to grant CSA’s 

applications for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. The Assistant Secretary 

will make the final decision on granting 

the applications. In making this 

decision, the Assistant Secretary may 

undertake other proceedings prescribed 

in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, 200 Constitution
