SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Applications for 

Expansion 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

extension of the scope of recognition of 

TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM) as a 

NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the 

addition of eighteen test standards to its 

NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA also 

hereby gives notice that it is adding one 

test standard to the NRTL Program’s List 

of Appropriate Test Standards. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements specified by 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 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification of the 

products. 

The agency processes applications by 

NRTLs or applicant organizations for 

initial recognition, as well as for 

expansion or renewal of 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 

its 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 TUVAM, 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. 

TUVAM submitted an application, 

dated June 8, 2020 (OSHA–2007–0043– 

0036), to expand its recognition to 

include six additional test standards. 

Additionally, TUVAM submitted an 

application on May 19, 2015 (OSHA– 

2007–0043–0020) to expand its 

recognition to include two additional 

recognized test sites and twelve 

additional test standards. However, due 

to an omission, OSHA did not rule on 

the May 19, 2015 application to the 

extent TUVAM applied to expand its 

recognition to include the twelve 

additional test standards (82 FR 13143, 

March 9, 2017; 82 FR 28359, June 21, 

2017). Those twelve standards are 

included in this notice. Therefore, the 

expansion announced in this notice 

covers eighteen standards, including 

one which OSHA proposes to add to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of both application 

packets and reviewed other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform any 

on-site reviews in relation to these 

applications insofar as the applications 

sought expansions of recognition to 

include the eighteen additional test 

standards. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion 

applications in the Federal Register on 

July 2, 2021 (86 FR 35347). The agency 

requested comments by July 19, 2021, 

but it received no comments in response 

to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding 

with this final notice to grant expansion 

of TUVAM’s scope of recognition. 

To review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to TUVAM’s 

applications, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, at (202) 693–2350. Docket No. 

OSHA–2007–0043 contains all materials 

in the record concerning TUVAM’s 

recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s 

expansion applications, the capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on a review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of recognition, 

subject to the specified limitations and 

conditions listed. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of TUVAM’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of TUVAM’s scope of recognition to 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed in Table 1.

* Represents Test Standard new to the NRTL Program. 

OSHA also announces the addition of 

one new test standard to the NRTL 

Program’s List of Appropriate Test 

Standards. Table 2, below, lists the test 

standard that is new to the NRTL 

Program. OSHA has determined that 

this test standard is an appropriate test 

standard. 

TABLE 2—TEST STANDARD OSHA IS

ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S

LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 347A ........ Medium Voltage Power Conversion Equipment. 

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 

recognition: 

1. TUVAM must inform OSHA as 

soon as possible, in writing, of any 

change of ownership, facilities, or key 

personnel, and of any major change in 

the operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of 

its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. TUVAM must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

TUVAM’s scope of recognition, in all 

areas for which it has recognition. 

OSHA hereby expands the scope of 

recognition of TUVAM, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.
