SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRTL Program recognizes 

organizations that provide productsafety testing and certification services 

to manufacturers. These organizations 

perform testing and certification for 

purposes of the program, to U.S. 

consensus-based product-safety test 

standards. The products covered by the 

NRTL Program consist of those items for 

which OSHA safety standards require 

‘‘certification’’ by a NRTL. The 

requirements affect electrical products 

and 36 other types of products. OSHA 

does not develop or issue these test 

standards, but generally relies on 

standards development organizations 

(SDOs), which develop and maintain 

the standards using a method that 

provides for input and consideration of 

views of industry groups, experts, users, 

consumers, governmental authorities, 

and others having broad experience in 

the safety field involved. 

A. Addition of New Test Standards to 

the NRTL List of Appropriate Test 

Standards 

Periodically, OSHA will add new test 

standards to the NRTL list of 

appropriate test standards following an 

evaluation of the test standard 

document. To qualify as an appropriate 

test standard, the agency evaluates the 

document to (1) verify it represents a 

product category for which OSHA 

requires certification by a NRTL, (2) 

verify the document represents an end 

product and not a component, and (3) 

verify the document defines safety test 

specifications (not installation or 

operational performance specifications). 

OSHA becomes aware of new test 

standards through various avenues. For 

example, OSHA may become aware of 

new test standards by: (1) Monitoring 

notifications issued by certain SDOs; (2) 

reviewing applications by NRTLs or 

applicants seeking recognition to 

include a new test standard in their 

scope of recognition; and (3) obtaining 

notification from manufacturers, 

manufacturing organizations, 

government agencies, or other parties 

that a new test standard may be 

appropriate to add to the list of 

appropriate standards. OSHA may 

determine to include a new test 

standard in the list, for example, if the 

test standard is for a particular type of 

product that another test standard also 

covers, addresses a type of product that 

no standard previously covered, or is 

otherwise new to the NRTL Program. 

B. SDO Deletion and Replacement of 

Test Standards 

The NRTL Program regulations 

require that appropriate test standards 

be maintained and current (29 CFR 

1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn 

by an SDO is no longer considered an 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
45756 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Notices 

appropriate test standard (CPL 01–00– 

004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures 

and Guidelines Directive (NRTL 

Program Directive), Ch. 2.IX.C.1). It is 

OSHA’s policy to remove recognition of 

withdrawn test standards by issuing a 

correction notice in the Federal Register 

for all NRTLs recognized for the 

withdrawn test standards (Id.). 

However, SDOs frequently will 

designate a replacement standard for 

withdrawn standards. OSHA will 

recognize a NRTL for an appropriate 

replacement test standard if the NRTL 

has the requisite testing and evaluation 

capability for the replacement test 

standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 

2.IX.C.2). 

One method that NRTLs may use to 

show such capability involves an 

analysis to determine whether any 

testing and evaluation requirements of 

existing test standards in a NRTL’s 

scope are comparable (i.e., are 

completely or substantially identical) to 

the requirements in the replacement test 

standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 

2.IX.C.3). If OSHA’s analysis shows the 

replacement test standard does not 

require additional or different technical 

capability than an existing test 

standard(s), and the replacement test 

standard is comparable to the existing 

test standard(s), then OSHA can add the 

replacement test standard to affected 

NRTLs’ scope of recognition. If OSHA’s 

analysis shows the replacement test 

standard requires an additional or 

different technical capability, or the 

replacement test standard is not 

comparable to any existing test 

standards, each affected NRTL seeking 

to have OSHA add the replacement test 

standard to the NRTL’s scope of 

recognition must provide information to 

OSHA that demonstrates technical 

capability (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 

2.IX.D). 

C. Other Reasons for Removal of Test 

Standards From the NRTL List of 

Appropriate Test Standards 

OSHA may choose to remove a test 

standard from the NRTL list of 

appropriate test standards based on an 

internal review in which NRTL Program 

staff review the NRTL list of appropriate 

test standards to determine if the test 

standards conform to the definition of 

an appropriate test standard defined in 

NRTL Program regulations and policy. 

There are several reasons for removing 

a test standard based on this review. 

First, a document that provides the 

methodology for a single test is a test 

method rather than an appropriate test 

standard (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test 

standard must specify the safety 

requirements for a specific type of 

product(s) (NRTL Program Directive, 

Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). A test method, however, 

is a specified technical procedure for 

performing a test. As such, a test 

method is not an appropriate test 

standard. While a NRTL may use a test 

method to determine if certain safety 

requirements are met, a test method is 

not itself a safety requirement for a 

specific product category. 

Second, a document that focuses 

primarily on usage, installation, or 

maintenance requirements, and not 

safety requirements (i.e., features, parts, 

capabilities, usage limitations, or 

installation requirements that would 

create a potential hazard in operating 

the equipment if not properly used), 

would also not be considered an 

appropriate test standard (NRTL 

Program Directive, Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). In 

some cases, however, a document may 

also provide safety test specifications in 

addition to usage, installation, and 

maintenance requirements. In such 

cases, the document would be retained 

as an appropriate test standard based on 

the safety test specifications. 

Finally, a document may not be 

considered an appropriate test standard 

if the document covers products for 

which OSHA does not require testing 

and certification (NRTL Program 

Directive, Ch. 2.VIII.C.2). Similarly, a 

document that covers electrical product 

components would not be considered an 

appropriate test standard. These 

documents apply to types of 

components that have limitation(s) or 

condition(s) on their use, which are not 

appropriate for use as end-use products. 

These documents also specify that these 

types of components are for use only as 

part of an end-use product. NRTLs, 

however, evaluate such components 

only in the context of evaluating 

whether end-use products requiring 

NRTL approval are safe for use in the 

workplace. Accordingly, as a matter of 

policy, OSHA considers that documents 

covering such components are not 

appropriate test standards under the 

NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, 

that it is not proposing to delete from 

NRTLs’ scope of recognition any test 

standards covering end-use products 

that contain such components. 

In addition, OSHA notes that, to 

conform to a test standard covering an 

end-use product, a NRTL must still 

determine that the components in the 

product comply with the components’ 

specific test standards. In making this 

determination, NRTLs may test the 

components themselves, or accept the 

testing of a qualified testing 

organization that a given component 

conforms to the particular test standard. 

OSHA reviews each NRTL’s procedures 

to determine which approach the NRTL 

will use to address components, and 

reviews the end-use product testing to 

verify that the NRTL appropriately 

addresses that product’s components. 

II. Proposal To Delete Test Standards 

From the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards and 

Incorporate Into the List of Appropriate 

Test Standards a Replacement Test 

Standard For a Withdrawn Test 

Standard 

In this notice, OSHA proposes to 

delete several test standards from the 

NRTL Program’s list of appropriate test 

standards. OSHA also proposes to 

incorporate into the NRTL Program’s list 

of appropriate test standards a 

replacement test standard for a 

withdrawn test standard. 

Table 1 lists the test standards that 

OSHA proposes to delete from the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards, as well as an 

abbreviated rationale for OSHA’s 

proposed action. Additionally, Table 1 

lists the replacement test standard that 

OSHA proposes to incorporate into the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. OSHA seeks comment 

on this preliminary determination. 

OSHA notes that Table 1 lists the 

subject test standards and the proposed 

action with regard to each of these test 

standards without indicating how the 

proposed action will affect individual 

NRTLs. Section III of this notice 

discusses how the proposed action will 

affect individual NRTLs.

III. Proposed Modifications to Affected 

NRTLs’ Scope of Recognition 

In this notice, OSHA additionally 

proposes to remove certain test 

standards (i.e., those listed in Table 1, 

above) from the scopes of recognition of 

several NRTLs and to add to the scopes 

of recognition of some of these NRTLs 

a replacement test standard, as 

applicable. The tables in this section 

(Table 2 through Table 6) list, for each 

affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that 

OSHA proposes to remove from the 

scope of recognition of the NRTL, along 

with the proposed replacement test 

standard (as applicable). 

OSHA seeks comment on whether the 

proposed deletions and replacements 

are appropriate, and whether individual 

tables omit any appropriate replacement 

test standard that is comparable to a 

withdrawn test standard. If OSHA 

determines that it omitted any 

appropriate replacement test standard 

that is comparable to a withdrawn test 

standard, it will, in the final 

determination, incorporate that 

replacement test standard into the scope 

of recognition of each affected 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, by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified.
